Lobster served on a bed of walnut-oil-dressed salad leaves was a generous, beautifully prepared starter - easily a luxurious supper on its own - while pistachio-studded saucisson de Lyon with a warm salad of small ratte potatoes was perfectly cooked and copious.

Charming and efficient service adds to the pleasure of a meal here, and the only obvious improvement would be the addition of a few reasonably prices wines to the list.
