"A great corner of France in the middle of England"

Happened to pass by and stopped for lunch with the family.  Not cheap, but absolutely great food and in particular super service by the one waiter on duty.  Very attentive and friendly despite having several tables to attend to....Definitely a place to return to.

"My favourite restaurant in Kenilworth"

On this occasion I went with 7 friends and we had charming and friendly service all evening.  It is decorated in contemporary French style,which is very pretty and not as minimalist as some places.  The menu is interesting and appealing and every member of my party was delighted with their choice.  My sea bream with risotto was utterly delicious and beautifully presented, as was my pud of pear tarte tatin and praline ice cream.  I have never had a dud meal in this restaurant and I feel it also represents very fair value for money when compared with other local 'gastro' restaurants.

The décor is warm and inviting with curtained feature walls, superb lighting and a wonderful use of sumptuous fabrics, which has created a fabulous interior. On a Friday night the restaurant was full and literally buzzing, it seemed that the snow outside had not deterred anyone.

For starters, my friend and I ordered the Smoked Chicken Caesar Salad with Croutons and
Parmesan Shavings and the Twice Baked Smoked Salmon Soufflé with Roquette, Cucumber and
Dill Salad. Each dish created sensational flavours in the mouth. The Smoked Chicken enhanced the Caesar Salad and the Twice Baked Soufflé was just divine, in fact I would certainly order it again.

The excellent choice of alternative starters included: Sautéed Tiger Prawns Mariniere, Parsley, and Cream; Salad of Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnuts; Country Style Pate with a Red Onion
Marmalade; Warm Goats Cheese Crotin on a Beetroot and Lambs Leaf Salad; Belly Pork and
Black Pudding Salad with Apple Sauce; Creamed Garlic Mushrooms on Toast and a Confit of DuckSalad with Spiced Peach Chutney.

As a main course we ordered the Smoked Haddock topped with Welsh Rarebit on Creamed Leeks and Spinach and the Glazed Shank of Cornish Lamb, Garlic Pomme Puree, Green
Beans and Rosemary Jus. We were spoilt for choice as the slow-cooked blade of Scotch Beef Bourguignonne, Celeriac and Potato Dauphinois had been highly recommended. There was also a Grilled Fillet of Sea Bass served on a fishcake with Provencal Sauce and a Roast Duck Breast with Braised Red Cabbage, Parmentier Potatoes and Port and Redcurrant Sauce. However we were delighted with our choice. The food was served on piping hot plates, the presentation was superb and we both agreed that there was a wonderfulcombination of flavours.

Although we were sufficiently full we were so tempted to try one of their magnificent desserts and without much persuasion from our waiter we succumbed to try the Ice Cream Profiteroles served with Sauce au Chocolat and the Lemon Meringue Possett with Raspberry Sorbet. Each dessert was a delight; the ice cream in the profiteroles added a twist to this traditional dessert, which was just delicious. The lemon meringue possett was so very light and the flavours when combined with the raspberry sorbet created a perfect finish to what had been an outstanding meal.
