We had the weekend lunchtime menu. My husband had no complaints really enjoyed his ! Mine however wasn't so nice. The rump steak was not nice , chewy and in edible. The manager was great and deducted the price of my steak from our bill. Thank you , much appreciated ?

It's the only place in town you can finish off in comfort outside with a tasty coffee or wine ?

If you want to be waited on, it isn't for you. Was surprised to find no menu and have to go to bar to choose and order food. Luckily it wasnt too busy and can imagine if it was, there would have been queues. Meals do not come with any vegetables. Food was hot and tasty, but won't be heading back there again, as overall experience was not good.

Terrible experience of dining - the worst we have ever had!It was our first ever time to this place (and last) and we didn't even get shown to a table, instead got told to "go find a table over there".No one explained the ordering system until I had to ask a waitress about 15minutes later. Ordering food was to be done upfront by the deli looking counter (felt like a takeaway place).3 of the dishes we tried to order were out of stock (oysters, scallops, leg of lamb).The 1 star rating goes to the chicken skewer starter which was tasty and tender even though they took a long time to arrive.With the time passing I even had to go and extend our parking as it was going to run over the 2 hour limit with a fine to be had.Mains took a considerable time to arrive and when they did eventually come, complete and utter disappointment!.I had the lamb skewers which were chargrilled to death, dry and chewy with no flavour.My partner had the seafood platter which wasn't edible (he usually eats anything and everything).There were 3 closed muscles, overcooked salmon, cold calamari, small whole fish with no actual meat to eat inside them and deep fried cold fish.Not once did a waiter / waitress come over to check on us, we had to get ourselves new cutlery for mains as they took them away with the starter dishes then also had to ask to order another drink as no one else came to the table.On plate collection I told the waitress the food was inedible as there was a considerable amount of food left on both plates.The manager then came over to query the complaint and instead of offering any sort of apology or discounted bill, all he done was correct me on what I thought was deep fried sardines, turned out to be deep fried whitebait... (Very helpful).. the overall bill came to £92.Very disappointed, would never return here or recommend the place to anyone. Avoid at all cost.

Booked a table for 14 to celebrate a birthday, staff were great at confirming booking & when I needed to adjust table size this was done straight away and email confirmation. All 14 meals were delicious, we all ordered from the lunch menu plenty of choice & great value for money. If you are having a side the garlic bread is amazing ? Great selection of wine Staff were polite & attentive We had a excellent service & would definitely recommend.

Yet another wonderful lunch in this beautiful restaurant. We had a two course lunch on new year's eve. You cannot fault the service or the food in this restaurant, we come here a few times a year and we have never been disappointed. The quality of food and service is excellent. Don't let the bad reviews put you off, expensive..yes, good YES!!

My friends and I visited on a Saturday night in November and were disappointed unfortunately. We arrived ten mins before our table was booked, and were told we?d have to wait as it wasn?t quite ready (which we were very happy to do). After another 25 minutes our table still wasn?t ready and we asked when it would be and were told by a member of staff that he was doing a drinks order and once finished he?d take us through to the table.We?d waited so long that we knew what we wanted to order so as we were seated we asked to order straight away and were told we had to go and join a fairly large queue at the counter to order the food. I asked for the beef medallions au poivre and was told they had run out earlier in the day (why weren?t we communicated this when seated at our table?).I ordered fillet steak and my friends ordered duck. We noticed they came with chips or jacket but we couldn?t see any vegetable/salad sides on the menu so presumed that some greens (in some form) came with the mains.Our starters arrived, mine came out about 5 mins after my friends. The garlic bread side was awful (apologies for the bluntness, but it really was terrible). The food came and we were surprised to see that it really was just steak and a jacket potato. For £33.50. I thought the steak was lovely, but I was very surprised at what the dish looked like for that price. Are there not vegetable side dishes? It looked like a medieval meal (see attached pic). My friends had literally half a duck and chips, with no sauce or veggies or salad. And they did say that it wasn?t crispy as described on the menu.Overall it was a weird visit, I remember it being very different the last time I ate here which was a couple of years ago. We also were waiting for so long that I had to extend my parking.

Visited here 29th December 2023 with two work colleagues for lunch. I ordered avocado and prawns for starters but ended up with just a prawn cocktail but still charged for the avocado, For lunch I ordered sea bass and jacket potato, Sea bass arrived and full of bones ( poor filleting ) difficult to see in a dimly lit restaurant, jacket potato forgotten and had to remind them. Wine was nice and pleasant. It?s a real shame as this restaurant used to be amazing back in the day. My two colleagues both had the steak and chips, steaks were of poor quality chips were great. They had requested medium cooked steaks but by the time they came on a skillet they were to say the least well done and dried out. The restaurant and decorative state in which it is set is very nice with the open kitchen. Overall poor value for money .

Booked a table which was confirmed by member of staff and an e mail. Arrived at restaurant with family to be told no table available by Manager. He had given table to another customer. No apology from Manager just a shrug of his shoulders. Very rude, unprofessional & disrespectful Manager. Thank you La Bras for ruining our day.

Service was shocking, except for a young man taking the food order. The Brie starter was still solid in the middle and cold! The steak my husband had was good, but as for the other meals, we were not impressed. 5 starters, 6 mains, one bottle of wine and a few drinks, £255. I don?t mind paying for quality, but this wasn?t a quality experience. We were also on a table where we were so cold, several of us had to leave our coats on.
