Le Monde in Cardiff

Fantastic food, excellent food and wine and great service. Highly recommended.

Abysmal from start to finish. Booked a table for 14.15 , then was rushed into ordering food because the kitchen closed at 14.30. Waitress then spilled a whole pint of lager over the table, my £300 jacket and into my partners salad. Was offered to have the jacket dry cleaned but returned 4 days later or to take £20 off the bill. Manager was abrupt, rude, obnoxious and an abrasive character. Food was served way below par. Chicken dish tasted like dishwater and the rest left a lot to be desired. Upon addressing the issues with the manager, he became very argumentative and strife. A truly abhorrent experience and would not recommend to anyone that enjoys good service and palatable food.

A great place just for drinks, but also food. Had an amazing Sunday roast. The staff are so lovely and the atmosphere is perfect. Love it.

Very nice fresh seafood. Also do a set menu dinner which is good in price. Good ambiance.

Delicious food and drinks. It was very enjoyable lunch.

I had a reservation at the restaurant on Mother’s Day from which my mother had food poisoning from under-cooked scallops. I have never complained to a restaurant before but felt that I was owed at least a refund for my mother’s meal, however, all I have been offered is a bottle of wine at my next meal (I will not be returning after our experience and the way in which my complaint has been dealt with) and the manager was completely rude to me on the phone. When we arrived, it was quite clear that the staff were overwhelmed by the match day crowds as the restaurant was chaotic, our table wasn’t ready on time and we had to wait a little while before anyone attended to us. The manager’s response to this was “well you knew you’d booked a table on a match day”. We eventually sat down after waiting by the bar and had to eventually ask for someone to bring us a drink’s menu. The service generally wasn’t great and when we asked if there was a Sunday lunch, the response from a gentleman who appeared to be the manager on the day was “I don’t know”. We then had to queue for about 10/15 minutes to be able to order food. I had a steak for the main course which I asked to be medium rare but when it came it was blue. I did not complain at the time because I did not want to put a dampener on what was supposed to be a nice day out for Mother’s Day and had already been slightly tarnished by our initial experience of entering the restaurant. My mother had scallops to start (she was the only one to eat this on our table and did not eat anything else after the meal on that day) and was so unwell through the night that she had to take time off work the next day. The cost of this meal was £165 and the manager couldn’t even refund me for my mother’s meal. I think the service overall has been diabolical and I will not be returning.

La veille du match France galles un repas entre amis L endroit est assez joli mais très bruyant Un serveur un peu envahissant !!!!! Trop c est trop L entrée salade a volonté chère pour la qualité dans des bols rudimentaires !!!!!! Dommage Le plat de résistance : il faut faire attention au poids de ce que vous souhaitez manger Vous pouvez avoir une mauvaise surprise au moment de régler la note Les prix affichent le poids au kilo Le pavé d angus (viande très chère) de qualité moyenne Le saumon bien cuit mais les légumes Payants Les vins très très chers Prix exagérés ridicule Un endroit a voir avec modération !!!!

This is a good place indeed. Fresh food you can see, good wines and fancy decanters... A must visit in Cardiff. Plus, the upstairs bar with live music is good fun!

Arrived for lunch with a friend and were left standing at the door for ages even though the restaurant wasn’t busy and a number of the wait staff looked our way but ignored us! The opposite of welcoming. In fact no one came to us at the door - so we finally went to the counter where people order and asked the guy serving about the lunch specials - he pointed out the two course lunch menu (£26) I asked about the one course lunch menu (which is still advertised on their website) and he told us that the only lunch menu was the two course one - then turned away from us and went back to ignoring us! Naturally, we left. We encountered a couple heading into the restaurant and shared how dismissively we’d been treated and the apparent fact that the one course lunch special was no longer available and suggested that, like us, they head up the road to Ty Madeira if they wanted a better experience and then saw them arrive not long after us! I’ve been a regular customer of Le Monde and have taken many people here for lunch over the years I’ve never experienced such awful customer service. There are so many restaurants to choose from in Cardiff I would have thought they’d bend over backwards to keep customers - not go out of their way to lose customers. Incidentally, we ordered a bottle of wine with the 2 course lunch special (£16) as well as an additional dessert at Ty Madeira - money I had fully intended to spend at Le Monde. UPDATE: Thank you for your prompt reply Your website shows as I said, a lunchtime special menu for £16 - it doesn’t mention or give examples of 2 courses only mains. So perhaps I’ve been getting duped into paying for 2 courses and only getting one course on previous visits? The rude waiter behind the counter pointed out the lunchtime special on the blackboard which clearly says £26 for 2 courses. He did not deign to elaborate or offer any alternative - he didn’t even offer to get a waiter to attend to us before turning away from me and continuing his previous occupation of ignoring me and my guest. Considering that I was about to spend good money in your establishment I’d have thought your staff could have found it in themselves to put on a brave face and try being nice to the customer waiting at the door. I notice you have had a number of other negative reviews predicated mostly on the rudeness of your staff: so our experience was obviously not an isolated one.

Me and my boyfriend visited le monde on a busy satruday we were greeted by the wonderful staff, our waitress Amelia was great help and provided us with great service, we really appreciated all the staff who made us feel special in the middle of a very busy evening, the food was excellent and top standard, would visit again for sure. Again thank you to all the staff and wonderfull chefs

We visit Le Monde regularly so I felt I needed to tell you how fabulous it is! Great food fresh meat & fish, great salad bar, garlic bread to die for - why would you want to go anywhere else. On arriving we sat at the bar and had some fabulous wine and beautifully made cocktails by really experienced bar staff - the ambience is always really good perfect atmosphere especially on the rugby weekend where they deliver exceptional service despite the huge amount of bookings. Murat always welcomes us and makes our visit extra special every time we visit without fail - along with all the other waitresses & waiters - many have been there for years & years which is a credit to the restaurant. The food is always consistently tasty freshly prepared and well presented - and they can advise on wines as they have such a great wine list. A hidden gem in Cardiff City Centre you must check it out! & Thankyou Murat for making every visit a special one with your great customer service.

I can say from the moment I arrived with my team, I was made unwelcome. The office manager made sure I would not be returning. As someone who frequents some of the best restaurants available, and as someone who likes to reward his team. Le Monde is a restaurant, whose food quality is good. The range and cooking skills shown were well above average. The general staff service attentive. The management and care - disgusting. We won’t be back. I’d say they are caught in a time warp and remind me of the experience you’d expect in Le Monde but 20 years ago.

Called into Le Monde on the off chance of a table and managed to get a table for two. The ambience was vibrant, the drinks delicious, and the monkfish was absolutely heavenly. I’m glad we chanced on a table and really enjoyed the food. So much on the menu I’d like to try and will return again.

Went with 16 friends for a special birthday . I had the beef medallions which were 10/10 . Sme if the party had fish which they said was superb . Service was excellent staff went out of the way to enhance the experience . Ended up upstairs for a dance . . Perfect celebration

You won't find better in Cardiff, from the service, to the atmosphere, and the outstanding food and drink. Never had a bad experience. Yes, it's far from the cheapest place in Cardiff but you certainly get what you pay for. A treat night for specials occasions for my partner and I, and the team always make it a special night. Cannot recommend enough.

Would absaloutly never go here again. Obviously there is a dress code here which I get, but for the flamboyant man at front of house visibly ridiculing the way people were dressed, very loudly and obvious was shocking actually. The food was poor. We heard a waiter asking a customer if they'd like to go to the roof top after thier meal to see the live band, falling over himself for this customer. I thought that I'd like to go and vist the rooftop and enjoy the live band, was discouraged and told ' oh will have to see if here's room first' obviously did fit thier regular clientelle. Avoid

extremely nice place. very welcoming staff and the food came quickly and could tell it was just made. even when busy the food was great and it is expensive but very worth it for an occasion.

Another fabulous night. Great food and wine and great company . Group of lads have not seen each other in a while so great day and night, gutted about Wales England but hey ho. 👍👍👍 10/02/2024

After trying for a while to get a table at Le Monde we finally went there this week. Firstly it was really busy on a Monday night with hardly any tables free - which is a great sign. I’ve always been a fan of the Martinez family restaurants so I knew what to expect in terms of the menu and food. The atmosphere and the style of the restaurant was impressive, with the best wine selection I’ve seen in any Cardiff restaurant. Service was 10/10. Our waiter had a real eye for detail, and was attentive but very professional. Food was amazing, wine was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely nothing to fault. Beautiful food and great service.

Magnífica puesta en escena. Gracias Francisco por convertir una cena en un momento especial. Grandes profesionales, productos frescos a la vista del cliente. Sabores españoles en el corazón de Gales. Cocina de alta calidad.

Just read a reply from the owner who sent my friend a disgusting msg and a complete lie about the price and lack of food mr Nathanial Martinez we had one round of drinks 14 people and three bottles of wine get your facts right and as for KFC at least they are on time and the right order is delivered.

I’m leaving one star because I can’t leave non! Some food arrived, The other went to the wrong table who ate it anyway! The manager apologised but when we complained the owner to us to F**k off and said to a man in his 60’s ‘let’s take it outside’ We were there about an hour, 30 minutes of that was waiting to be seated after the time our table was booked. We had 9 drinks whilst waiting, the owner states that was worth £900. Utter BS. Apparently we are banned from this so called restaurant… thank god for that!!! Don’t waste your money and go somewhere else

After waiting nearly 60 mins for our table, half our party were left without a meal and the those luckily enough to receive something didn’t get everything they asked for because the food was given to the wrong table. A polite discussion with the manager erupted into a sh*tshow with the owner who became very rude and obnoxious (and that’s being polite). You saved our entire party from making the same mistake twice with your so called banned from your restaurant chain as none of us will return and wouldn’t recommend your establishments to anyone!

Great place for a lovely get-together ❤️ with family and friends ❤️

Felt rushed from the start. Sat us directly by the toilets in which we had a constant flow of people passing us. Restaurant was so loud could hardly hear yourself speak. No menus and when queuing to order food which looked amazing seeing it all fresh, the boards were very intense as so many options and not a lot of time to choose, as we were rushed by the server behind the counter looking very put out that we were pausing to look. Could hardly hear, to then be shouted at when i asked him to repeat himself. We were handed a salad bowl only to find at the bill we had been charged for salad we thought was a free salad bar as the bowls were tiny and did not ask for them. They were very put out that i questioned the charge as we barely filled them. Was told they come as part of the starters in which we said we had no starters. Drinks arrived only to have the bottle of wine plonked on the table not even opened and the tray left on the seat of one of our guests. The waitresses even though very attentive did not really know what they were doing and asked us continuously if everything was ok which got very annoying after the fourth fifth time. Ended with a very expensive bill for ok food and a very disappointing experience. Will not be returning!!

Sublime restaurant! We celebrated for my partner's birthday (which was last year but only just got a chance to visit now) but it was totally worth the wait. A gorgeous environment and atmosphere, great service and friendly staff but the most important bit - just the loveliest, freshest food! I enjoyed the calamari and swordfish, whilst my partner had the scallops and tuna steak and every single bit of food was so fresh and delicious. Shout out to Lara who served us, as well as a new lady that we didn't get the name of but was on her first shift and was super helpful. Can't wait to visit again!!

Another fantastic meal, and this was the first time my daughter had been there. She loved the experience and can’t wait to go again. Ribeye and fillet a treat along with my partners swordfish. Never had a bad meal and will return next month👍

Le Monde is a Cardiff institution, and I can understand why. Service, food, wine, and atmosphere are all spot on. Selection and quality of seafood and meat is hard to beat anywhere else in the city. The wine list is very extensive. Highly recommend a visit for any special occasion, or as a treat.

Absolutely superb, huge selection of fresh fish and meats available to choose from. Highly recommended.

Nice food nice drinks nice customer service

Top quality food, great atmosphere!

Lovely Welcoming, Beautiful Fresh Fish Displays & Good Service. Me & My Dad Had Lobster.... Stunning 😍

My partner and I had a wonderful meal here. My partner has special dietary requirements and this was absolutely no problem. I had the monkfish which came with chips and I had a side dish of the best garlic bread I have ever tasted!! My partner's gluten free and vegetarian paella was also really nice. The service was wonderful and everyone was so polite and friendly that we'd love to return as soon as possible. We were lucky that we could be accommodated as 'walk in' customers. We deliberately did not book as we don't agree with the cancellation policy of being charged if you cancel within 48 hours of the reservation date. Although we are totally reliable people, and would never just not turn up, sometimes events happen that are out of our control. We would always ring to cancel but don't expect to be charged. For this reason, we will never prebook.

The customer is of no importance to this restaurant. The understanding of the lifetime value of a customer does not exist. My advice is do not make a booking at this restaurant. They are only interested in taking your money. Before I booked I should have read the recent reviews. In my case I made a booking on 29 th December for 31st December but because of unforeseen circumstances called to cancel. I was informed that because the cancellation was not 48 hours or more my card would be charged. They did it immediately and took £60. In all my long life at dining out this has never arisen before. They must be in so much need of cash it’s almost sorrowful. It might be their policy but it does not win lifetime loyalty Happy New Year Le Monde. This is one customer you will never see. And to all potential visitors I don’t advise you make a booking.

The food is just okay and service is quite pushy to have us order wine.

Staff are very rude and unprofessional will never dine here again much better alternatives nearby I can see this is not the only review regarding rude staff

Incredibly slow service for Christmas meal, table only available 30mins after the booking time. Staff not very helpful and a bit rude. Seemed way too busy and overbooked.

Overpriced pretentious rubbish charging goodness knows how much money for chip shop chips, lentil hotpot is more like Lidl tinned lentil soup with half a carrot in it.

Average quality Christmas meal. Very poor selection of dairy-free options. The meal was lukewarm with inedible hard swede, clearly undercooked. Turkey was on a dry side, pigs in blankets unpleasantly greasy. Starter very small. All in all, not worth the price. Service was very quick and drinks are reasonably good quality. However, one of the waitresses was rude pushing in behind my chair to collect the dishes, no apologies or even an earlier mention that's what she was planning to do - I obviously would have got up to give her space or passed on the plates, there's no need to push in and make me wobble in my chair mid-conversation. Clearly inexperienced. Some senior staff members are just over the top and borderline theatrical in this place. The restaurant is very loud and there are far too many tables squeezed into a small space, it's overcrowded. Overall, the place looks and feels slightly naff, aspiring to be a quality restaurant but failing grotesquely.

It was very busy due to Xmas work / social events. Food was great, staff lovely. We were a large booking and we sat down over an hour late but they gave us 2 free bottles to apologise which was very nice and they kept us informed all the time. Visited Incognito club upstairs after which was lovely

Upmarket place. Trendy and inviting. You can choose the piece of fish/meat you would like. Its the only place I've been to since covid that DOESN'T add a service charge- allowing you to choose your tip. All staff were welcoming and professional. I'll go again

What a fabulous place this was for our Christmas party. I would definitely go back. The service was fantastic especially from Fransisco a wonderful server!

Group meal squash onto small tables with no room, service was hit and miss and so was the food.

We booked for the Christmas set menu which was an amazing deal of £40 for 3 courses. The food was delicious and we all commented on how much we enjoyed. The venue had opened early for us and really made the experience lovely!

Had been looking forward to coming to this place for a few weeks. My husband fell ill the day before. I rang to reschedule to be told I couldn't and would be charged £40. I've Just seen the receipt come through and I am so upset at this. I appreciate that they have to make a living but illness can't be helped, and I just wanted to move it to a day we could both enjoy the experience. No doubt we would have spent alot more than that if we had booked to come again but now we won't book and have been left with a bitter feeling towards this please. Very sad.

Lovely food, good atmosphere. Went to their new upstairs lounge for a drink afterwards. Very good x

Judging by the recent reviews you either love it or hate it. The last time I used to come here would have been in its prime in the late 80s ,early 90s. The format hasn't changed with a lovely selection of fresh fish ,meat ,...

The restaurant itself was lovely in terms of decor etc. There was a group of us and we had the festive menu and what a disappointment Prawn cocktail - was just full of lettuce, hardly any prawns with no Marie Rose sauce, it was really...

Lovely Xmas Dinner we had recently 3 course soup and lamb for main that was beautiful and beautiful cheesecake for desert... good atmosphere too I have been there 3 times now

Absolutely delightful idyll. May I commend Bar Steward Harry Baldwin for his exemplary service and "can-do" attitude. Hats off 👏

Great meal fantastic service with friendly staff. Our special occasion was made even more special . Thanks.

The food here was first class and reasonably priced. Sadly the service was not to match. Rushed, rude staff and just a real let down!

First fish was over cooked and then raw but the other 10 of us had great steaks. Maybe avoid the fish !

Visited Le Monde recently, had a fabulous meal there with friends and family- service and atmosphere was fantastic. Highlight of the night was venturing to the bar upstairs for drinks- greeted by two charming young men, Harry and Sebastian. Even though the place was busy,...

This was my first time visiting Le Monde and it was an amazing experience, from being sat down to leaving we had exceptional service from start to end. The restaurant's food was of a great standard and service was fabulous. Then we went to the...

All right Dave Great hospitality from all staff and great food Definitely recommend a visit to Le Monde.

I have no issue with the prices, as I would have expected to pay these prices in one of Cardiffs oldest and most known restaurants. I actually took my wife here on our first date, which is why I brought the kids . My issue...

Disaster anniversary evening Wish I hadn’t booked the 16/11 Beaujolais day!!! Arrived at the restaurant 19.05 got our table right by the bar nightmare !! Table 11. We were in and out within 45 minutes , it was so rammed you could not enjoy yourself...

Went for a lunchtime set menu and it is good value for money. Lovely choice of fish for example, freshly and cooked well. Potatoes/chips included but other veg perhaps needed as additional sides. Nice, relaxed atmosphere for a wet lunchtime and very good, personable service.

Inviting atmosphere and high quality food. I had a lovely Birthday meal, I highly recommend this place. The Hake was to die for.

This is one of those really interesting places to eat. I'm not really interested in restaurants where you have to stand staring at a board to choose what you fancy eating. But at Le Monde, you have to. There is a board to choose your starters, and mains. But there's a fish counter where you choose your desired fish to be taken away and cooked to your liking with optional sauces, vegetables or a great salad selection. My wife chose the fish soup and I had the homemade fishcakes. Followed by swordfish steaks. The food here is cooked to perfection but, be warned, this place is busy, busy, busy. So you need to book in advance and don't expect a quiet romantic meal, but professionalism you will get. I would definitely come back here if I were to visit Cardiff again.

Absolutely fantastic food and service yesterday with my friends from Pembrokeshire - amazing day! 🙏

Went to this establishment tonight, we haven’t even received drinks, we just got seated and the manager told us to come to the counter to order food, and told us that somebody will come up to us to take our drinks order but nobody came. We only received one menu and when I asked one of the staff members for another one he just smirked and rolled his eyes and brought the menu with annoyed face. We just left as nobody came up to take a drink order with this prices I was expecting at least some service but received eyes rolling and nothing, DO NOT RECOMMEND

Ridiculously overpriced. Poor service. Lazy perpetration of food. Chefs larder salsa accompanied every starter. Think they went to get our chips from Dorothy’s. Don’t get me wrong, I like fish and chip shop chips but not with my restaurant meal.

Best place to eat and drink in Cardiff. 5 star menu and service

I have eaten here regularly over the years but wanted to write another review to say the service from Sebastien and Bronwyn was superb. What lovely, well mannered young people, nothing to much trouble for them and a pleasure to talk to. Hope management appreciate...

Always good service and excellent food

Rang to make a reservation but got rudely answered on the phone buy saying he was too busy to make a reservation!!!!

Just absolutely incredible every single time. Don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else. From the food to the service, to the decor - everything is just perfect. The two courses for £26 offer is a personal favourite as it’s such amazing value. You...

Nice restaurant. Beef was tender and nicely marinated. Oysters were nice too.

Nice restaurant and decor , food was good and the menu very extensive , I could not fault my food .. Could easily be a five star review I dropped a star for the service at table , the drinks service very slow and had...

This restaurant was recommend to us and we will pass that recommendation on without hesitation. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was absolutely fabulous - great choice and good value for money.

This restaurant deserves a 10…fantastic in every way. The staff were so wonderful and fun and Francisco was the best. The food was beyond our expectations in every way. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and wish I had time to return.

This was simply amazing….the ambiance, the food, the service. Francisco took great care of us and he was charming, helpful, just really made for a great experience. Amazing selection of seafood - had salmon and prawns and it was incredible, great wine list too -...

A superb experience at Le Monde. Choice of fish and meat is amazing. Lovely vibe in the restaurant. The best selection of wine in Wales. Would recommend.

The atmosphere was amazing. Very attentive Staff The food was absolutely delicious. All in all a wonderful dining experience Thank you

Very good food, excellent service, fantastic wine list if you like that sort of thing

Food is always good at Lemonde. It's a great experience, I really enjoy picking the food from the counter. Service is a really high standard. This time we took advantage of the secluded rooftop garden - a first for me.

Always excellent service and food. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing service. I've been here a few times now. Great selection of food and wines. Nothing is to much effort from the staff. I can not recommend this place enough

The Martinez family know how to run a restaurant, they are there daily looking after the small things; Le Monde ain’t a impersonal chain like The Ivy run by account. Great fresh fish & one of the best wine lists anywhere on these islands . If you booked the Ivy cancel it - if you booked the Ivy Asia take some photos outside there & then eat here ! Marvellous staff here, been there 30 years some of them ! Went through a bad period when family didn’t control it - now under family control again it’s top of the league again .

Look forward to going back, but not to be put by an extremely loud noisy bunch of men on loud party mode. Wood have expected staff to have realised, not to put me and my partner there, as was hoping for nice romantic evening, hence the reason we didn't bother with a main course, just 3 starters and oysters that were OK. But credit to my waiter as he did apologise and understand.

Minced croquette sent back twice hot on outside freezing cold in middle staff lovely especially Lara not what I expect from somewhere wine can cost £2500 a bottle been all over very disappointed

Superb fillet steak, chips and salad bar - good selection of drinks - excellent customer service

My friends and I had booked a table for 8 at 14:15 on Friday 11th March as a get together before the Wales v France rugby match. When I made the booking I had the table reserved until 18:30hrs, however as soon as we had finished eating at 16:30, we were literally kicked out as Le Monde had other guests arriving. Shocking service and disrespectful. This was a greedy management at its worst, with no regard for their pre-booking pledge. The staff just shrugged when we complained and started moving seats around us. I’ve been going to Le Monde for over 30 years and never been treated like this. Disappointing is an understatement. I won’t be back, nor will my guests. Martinez would be sad to see the decline in hospitality.

Best restaurant in town food always very tasty, well presented and plenty of it. Set menu great value and other dishes too Waiter always knowledgeable and cheerful and great service We try other restaurants in town but always return great stuff

Seated but very little explanation on how to order the waiter just pointed to an area of restaurant. I had to ask about the salad area. Was given a 1980’s bowl (felt like i was in the Pizza Hut). The wine (white rioja) was awful. The fish was okay. Had to wait a long time to be served. The restaurant was not busy.

A quiet Friday date night. Excellent mussels. Superb fish. Decent steak. Reasonably priced wine. White. Loire. Cold. Very pleasant.

Beautiful place with amazing food. Lots of local produce to choose from.

Visited for the first time today having heard good things. Met a friend for the set lunch whilst working in the city centre. We both ordered from the set lunch menu. I ordered the slow braised Welsh lamb with a Rioja jus. Whilst the cut was tender, it simply lacked any flavour. The jus was very watery and bland which meant the meal was overall very disappointing. The side order of garlic bread (shared) was superb and the staff very polite and courteous. The decor sophisticated and charming. I would likely return for drinks but would be hesitant to return for food.

The freshest ingredients cooked perfectly. I go there with friends about once every 6 months and last night, during my meal, I realised how well trained and knowledgeable the staff are. A real stand out place among Cardiff restaurants.

Do not think we had a the service or quality as others seemed to had, our meal was for 8.30 pm 4 of the items I tried to order had run out, at 8.30 I asked them how so early, couldn't really answer. there we 6 of us and 5 of the meals were cold, we explained to waiter whom seemed more interested in flirting with the customers and staff, don't think we will be back.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and great service

Amazing wine list and meat is great!

A great atmosphere and overall very good food and service. The format is unusual as you queue up to place your order but you can at least look at the choice of meat and fish at the counter. As well as the main course and...

Excellent dinner, great seafood choices. Its an unusual format as you order your dinner at the fish counter, selecting what you want as if at the fishmongers. Great choices, good quality and good service

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon and it was jam packed, probably because Coldplay were performing that evening at the Millennium Stadium. The service was outstanding - especially from delightful, cheery Eduarda, as good a waitress as one can ever hope to encounter. The "Dinner...

Very very nice! Excellent food and service, usually need to book!
