My husband (bless his soul) booked us for a romantic dinner to celebrate my birthday. Firstly a dodgy area for a so called up market restaurant. We booked a table but upon arrival were told to choose one? OK that we could live with. Waiters untrained and mumble so you cant hear them. Tables too close together. Ordered wine, that was the best part of our experience. For starters, my husband had the Foie Gras, it was grainy, charred, tiny portion and just horrible. I had the Scallops, they were very average. For Mains hubby ordered the Beef Cheek, it was bitter and powdery and he could not eat it. I ordered the Duck, it came ice ice cold, I asked for it to be replaced and I think they reheated it but it came back luke warm and so chewy. I sent that back too, they offered to replace the food but all we wanted to do was get out of there. Needless to say by this time we were so over this "wonderful" Fench Cafe we asked for the bill. They took our main courses off the bill. All I can say is DO NOT waste your hard earned money on this place, I was appalled, I was expecting proper French cuisine as good as I had in France but you are better off ordering something exceptionally tasty from the street vendors at Jalan Alor

i was looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate husband"s bday...found this online...reviews were pretty good. The restaurant's name is not clearly visible from the street. Food,drinks and service was excellent, except that we found it irritating that when we wanted to place order for a particular dish or drink, we were told that it was not available. Would suggest that when the menu is handed to us..we are informed of whatever item not available for the day. Also the waiters were trying to push us to order main meals immediately..we actually wanted to order starters and drinks 1st and relax before ordering main meals. Ambience was disappointing...didnt get the French feeling...tables were too close to each other.Washroom also didnt look really well kept...washbasin looked stained. I heard that a new branch is going to be opened soon. Just hope that it lives up to the expectation of a high end restaurant. Also would like to thank staff for the lava cake and ice cream with the Happy bday message.

Damned shame the food was as poor as it was because the restaurant itself was full of charm. Duck confit was as bad as I have had - you would have been better off playing the drums with that drum stick. Starter of 'Camembert' should have been the warning sign - did not taste of cheese. Wine list was OK, but for a 'French' restaurant - just having one french white wine to pick from was very disappointing. Overall, with the pricing they charge it was a remarkably disappointing experience
