I'm genuinely confused at all the wonderful reviews this place has.
The restaurant itself looks very cute which is what originally drew us in and the service was polite (although I could hear the waiters complaining rather loudly to one another about a particular customer they'd had) but as for the food... most of it was basically an overpriced, frozen pre-packaged meal. Aunt Bessie potatoes, the cheapest microwave rice imaginable and tasteless veg.
The only thing that had actually been 'cooked' was the steak, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare as requested, although lacked in any seasoning. We had to add salt and pepper to everything.
As for the menu, based on reading reviews and restaurant name, we expected it to be authentic French food, however, I think the only French thing on the menu was the French onion soup, which came out with clearly cheap white french stick bread bought from a supermarket. The rest of the menu was a red flag from the start, with options ranging from Mexican, American, Italian, Indian and British.
I've always wondered why this place doesn't come up in any Google searches or why no one's ever mentioned/recommended it to me and now I see why. I think the only reason it survives is because it appeared to be packed with regular OAP's who wanted simple meat and veg with no real flavour.

What a lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff and service. To think that owner does 50 covers usually on her own with 2 chefs is outstanding. Food perfect and very good value for money. Will definitely be back...

Everything about this place is perfect. The decor is warm, welcoming and charming. The service is friendly and the food is really tasty and great value for money. My grandparents are regulars and recommended the place and it will now be a definite place to go when I am back in the area on another Somerset visit! Would recommend and return.
