    We enjoyed the experience. We preceded it with a cocktail upstairs. Food and ambiance were excellent. Piano was fine but we particularly enjoyed the three piece band.

    We had a great experience on Sunday night; loved the jazz (particularly the five piece group who came on at 8.30pm). What a beautiful room ... tables, bar and backdrop of the music. The food and drink was also fabulous; cocktails well made (and good recommendations from Amalie); food so tasty (pate, coquille saint jacques and crab for starters, then surf & turf, boeuf bourgignon and soufle mains. We didn't have room for any dessert. Lovely serving team and manageress. Thank you all.
