great croissants and nice food. we had a lovely breakfast and returned for a really nice dinner. the pepper steak was perfectly cooked and the zucchini spaghetti was balanced. nice wine list with a good selection of French and US by the glass. it's rare to find a good French restaurant with well executed dishes and friendly, helpful service. if you're around Dallas give these guys a go you won't regret it.
7pm dinner for a birthday celebration. Food was fantastic. We enjoyed everything we ordered. When it came to dessert, we all wanted souffle. The server failed to communicate they stopped serving souffle at a certain time. This was a huge disappointment. Took one star off because of the lack of communication. We settled for creme brulee, which was good, but not what the party wanted.
Amazing french food, qualifying as if eating in France, this includes the atmosphere and the quality of service. Overall it was amazing and there was a treat at the end which was a sweet gesture from the manager ☺️ Worth every penny. Great value for money.
As a lone diner I found this French bistro and its petite rustic dining room a great place to eat. I started with the French onion soup, followed by the sausages with an array of mustards. Delicious food and good value for money. I didn't catch the name of my French waitress but she was amazing, very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended.
Busy at wednesdays when they have their two course deal with wine. Reserve your table. Lovely ambience and atmosphere. Very kind and professional waiters. Our choices of onion soup, goat cheese balls, sea brass and moules frites were all excellent and with healthy portions. Next time we come back from Norway we will definitly eat here.
I know very well what level of chain French restaurant Cote is, and overall the food is acceptable. But the apple pie I had this time was really disappointing, especially after thestaff's enthusiastic promotion. I'm considering not trying cote again.
This has been an amazing dinner tonight. The menu of the day was an incredible value and for excellent food. My prawn tempura and steak were perfectly presented and both cooked as requested. The dark chocolate fondant was so delicious. My husband had the chicken liver parfait and then Yorkshire pork. Both were just as good as mine. We did dinner with wine which were very good for the price and were nice addition. Cushla and John as well as all staff were professional and wonderful servers. As many new places come and go this restaurant has been around a long time and my only regret is not coming g in sooner. I will certainly be back!

Despite a very last minute reservation on an unusually busy Sunday night due to ManChester City vs. Arsenal over Easter weekend the maitre d’ was able to accommodate us. Food and service were excellent. Loved the atmosphere and the cocktails were great. Great place for a night out.
We had 5 main dishes, 4 desserts (one for 2), 3 teas, 4 beers, 2 starters and the bill was pretty okay, slightly under 200 with the service included. The food was at a pretty decent level but here the company is a bit divided, some of the party loved it, and others would not found it as good as other similar places, expecting more from the spicing. The Fougasse was great according to everyone, soft, testeful, warm, fluffy - we loved it! The deserts we tried were all great! (the Christmas special for 2, the coffee one and spiced Crème Brule I will never recommend the steak tartare and find it the worst I have tried. This is a matter of personal preference, but I usually eat steak tartare and love it. About the atmosphere: We went at 16:00 and it was already crowded and noisy, one can hardly hear their friends and have to raise their voice, that leads to more noise. Going there I would recommend you to avoid the peak hours if you will like to enjoy your company. The staff helped us as at first they did not find the reservation and did not expect us, but they fixed the mistake without extra stress. I did nto expect that we have to fight for the staff's attention throughout the dinner. Our table was full of finished pots and glasses but we had to ask twice to clean up so we can have it comfier. There was one of the girls that was not our waiter and saved our experience, being super friendly and helpful. Overall I would like to return, but it is conditional.
Another visit to Bistro Franc and as per usual the food and service were great. Friendly attentive staff, helpful with menu choices and wine pairings. We had three courses and each dish was a delight. Highly recommend their Duck and Dauphinoise main course - perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Their Steak main course was also a winner. If you're a sticky Toffee Pudding person then you can add ice-cream And custard if you ask nicely ! This is one of many visits here and love that the food is consistently good. Great value for money too.
Had a great time for Valentine’s Day. It was super busy but the service was still top notch and fast and very friendly. The food was really nice, quite different and interesting courses on the menu which was great. I had the crab with guacamole starter and that was a highlight and the pistachio desert was so good. The sea bass was also really really good.
I went there with friends on a Saturday. The service was great. The decorations are simple and giving French bistrot vibe. As for the food, Bistrot Pierre is a chain of restaurants. Tajine, hummus? Not so French but I imagine they try to accommodate all tastes. My main was steak frite, it was good but it is just not French and the meat for some of us was a bit dry. Knowing most of their menu is meaty, that’s not a good thing. We are all French/ Belgian and we all thought this place was not up to French food standards. Overall it is a nice place but I wouldn’t say it’s French.
Absolutely gorgeous. Best mussels I have ever had. The portion size is generous and we were absolutely full after everything! Highly recommend 👍
Today was my first visit to SmithS and I wasn't disappointed. Lovely menu with plenty of choices. Friendly staff. I would recommend and I would definitely go back.
My experience of coming to Orelle for the first time was great. We only came for a drink in the bar area on a Saturday night but the atmosphere and service was great. There was a live singer/guitarist performing, setting the tone for the night with really cool renditions of RNB and Pop classics, along with a good amount of people and vibes in there. The drinks selection is great and the views are obviously unmatched in Birmingham rooftop wise.
Absolutely AMAZING food, could not even fault it. Cocktails... Well they could have been done better, but you work with what you got. Service lovely. But the food and style were just astounding. Well done to the chefs. Cause the food was bloody fab.
Our first visit, loved the homey French cottage feel, and the soufflé was absolutely amazing. I had the crab, girlfriend had the duck soufflee amazing savory flavor yet so light and airy. We also shared the raspberry and apricot souffle for dessert. Apricot had a bite which was nice, raspberry sweet and pink. Highly suggest visiting, relaxing and living in the moment.

We had a great experience at Daniel! While we are not new to fine dining, this was our first Michelin star experience. We loved the food, appreciated the extra courses brought out & especially loved the carefully selected wine pairings. The service wasn’t perfect - it took a long time from being seated to receiving menus and ordering drinks. We had been at the table for 45 min before we were finally able to order anything. We had a late reservation, so I think they were just overwhelmed when we arrived. The service did drastically improve after we placed our order. I highly recommend the 4 course option, as my partner and I each chose different dishes and were able to taste a ton of different dishes between the 2 of us. We left extremely full!

I liked Baltazar. The food very good. All we had tasted amazing. Service was good although it felt like there were rushing us out of the table for the next customer. Also, waiter wasn’t that gentle. That everything ended up working fine. Atmosphere is the highlight of the place. Decoration is pretty and gets you to Europe for sure. I do recommend this place.

Always safe and reliable to eat at Brasserie Zédel so a strong four stars. Without further ado … Here’s what I liked: • Always a great atmosphere • Service generally good • Food consistent (this time I had the Halibut which was cooked perfectly and two portions of fries as they’re that good!) • The bread at the start is always moreish. This time it was warm and crisp. Very nice. • Great to host guests • Pleasant (live) jazz music • The desserts What I didn’t like: • Wine prices are too high. From £15 for a small glass is not in keeping with the French brasserie spirit at all. • Service whilst generally good can be hit and miss • Time to roll out a few more non meat options This is constructive criticism as I really enjoy going here and will continue to do so. Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? YES Price point: $$ Excuse the photos- they don’t do the food justice but it was dark and ‘ambient’

Can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was.

The wagyu was one of the best I've ever had, and that's saying something. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread and substitutions
The positive feedback for Balthazar centers on a few distinct strengths as noted by patrons. Culinary highlights, acknowledged in multiple reviews, include the freshness and high quality of the seafood, the succulence of the steak, and the outstanding preparation of the risotto and classic French dishes.

The food was great, especially the seafood plate - everything was fresh and of a high quality. For starters, the onion soup is a must-have - made with emmental cheese which gives it a nice flavour kick. However, the service was quite poor - we waited a really long time for getting the menu, as well as for our dishes to arrive. I understand that they had a lot of tables to serve, but it felt like the staff just didn’t care about providing us with a good service, and definitely didn’t make us feel warm and welcome. When we were told that we had to free our table and move to the bar, we didn’t receive the cocktails menu at all, and when I asked for it after 15 minutes of waiting, the barman looked at me as I was crazy and acted quite rudely.
