I would agree with you that the value seems incredible, and for those prices you can overlook the burgundy napkins. 🙂 What a fun tradition to yearly share a meal with your birthday “twin,” Karina. I love the look of this little place. It’s nothing to look at, really, but that is what makes it feel like being invited to enjoy a home cooked meal. The asparagus was a bit shameful, however. LOL!

How lovely that you get to share your birthday with a friend. The food looks amazing! I’m with you on the asparagus though!

It sounds like the sort of birthday dinner to throw you back a few decades 😉 The desserts sound excellent even if some of the other components of the evening were lacking! I admire your efforts in returning for a daylight photo too.

Blech, I hate it when the drown your food in sauce! Why don’t they just say hollandaise sauce with asparagus? LOL Sounds like it was a good meal, enjoyed by all for the most part. I never order fish in a restaurant… or spaghetti. I am very particular about some things and I just won’t leave them to chance! 😉 Glad you had a good birthday!! xo

Happy [belated] bday! I share my birthday with Julia Gillard – would be thrilled beyond words to have a meal with her #fanGirl. Those prawns look amazing. And boo to mirrors everywhere when you’re eating.

Oh my god I cant believe they are still churning out the same old dated food. The garnishes and the terrible half eaten looking plating, the cream gun cream and the smothery buttery sauces, O.M.G. Very good value to be sure but you would never see me there. I cant believe a whole table is taken up with that ridiculous eiffel tower!!! Happy Birthday Charlie sorry I didnt say that first, thats far more important

oh dear I am not a huge fan of French food, and sadly this doesnt really tip my boat- is that the expression?:) So as I live in Brissie anyway, I dont have to feel I should give it a try 🙂 I think I must be alone in finding French(ified) food over-rich, and not very stimulating to the palate.

Definitely great value for money, and makes you more forgiving of the odd mistake. Personally I always find barramundi bland and never order it, but liver pate and escargot all sound good xox

Yep, my recent (instagrammed) asparagus with ollandaise looked/tasted far better than yours. Particularly because it’s asparagus season here 😉 BUT I want pate and capers, somaybe we’re even?

Happy birthday (again!)
