Time to read: < 1 minuteLondon – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – French – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant The pricetags do not quite match the food. I suppose that’s the only reason this is getting a 3. Despite the tastecard discount, I am still not impressed. The flavours were nice enough. The scallops cooked very well.
