Been before and it was ok but not this time. Starter of scallops and meatballs, no chorizo with scallops as they had run out but still not a pleasant dish. The meatballs where warm but the sauce was cold and the cheese we requested didn't melt so it was very disappointing. Mains where lamb cutlets and a steak with prawns. The lamb cutlets were obviously frozen. Out of the 3 cutlets 2 where nice. The steak was not as asked for, it was under done as asked for medium/well and was more medium (bleeding onto plate! . Deserts where both cheesecakes the strawberry and prosecco had no biscuit base and the toffee and honey combe only a very thin biscuit base. It was a Friday night and it seemed there were only 3 staff. Two girls and what we assume the chef. We felt the service was lacking as we were sat with no drinks for long periods and dirty plates not collected. The £8 black forest cocktail was the size of a thimble and tasted of nothing! We did not wish to complain at the time as the staff are young and I didn't feel they would be able to resolve the issues we had and as I enjoyed the mains and drinks (other than the Cocktail I didn't want to cause a fuss in there. We will never go there again! We paid a similar amount at Quattro's on the Rainford bypass and the service, food and ambience were by a country mile far superior.

This fantastic bistro is a great spot to visit, especially if you can walk there. I highly recommend trying their bottomless brunch, and the duck bon bons are absolutely delicious! They also offer vegetarian options. The service is good for dining in, and the meal type is brunch. The price per person ranges from £20 to £30.

My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time today and we were absolutely thrilled with the experience. The food was excellent and the service was brilliant. We had Sunday brunch at 11 and the Eggs Royale were exceptional. The restaurant uses top quality local ingredients and the portion sizes were just right. We can't wait to come back soon.
