"We loved this place on arrival... quirky 1950s artwork on lovely stone walls and a very warm welcome. When the food arrived we all thought "Wow", but three out of the four of us were disappointed once we actually tucked into the food. It was very much a case of style over substance. I ordered the Turbot, which was beautifully presented, but was in fact just a small piece of fish that was absolutely full of bones... it seemed more bone than fish. My partner was pleased with his Roquefort Beef Burger, but the other two members of our party were a bit underwhelmed by their beautifully presented meals too. However, because we loved the room, the atmosphere, and the service was excellent, we decided to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt and give it another go... but we ended up wishing we hadn't... it was a complete disaster! A different lady was serving, and she could never be described as warm and friendly. My partner and I ordered the goats cheese salad, which again arrived looking wow on the plate. However, when we tucked in, the cheese was barely there and was served on horrid stale toast, and the mountains of chopped lettuce was brown round the edges and tasted very bitter (and looked like it had come from an outdated packet). It was awful. Another member of our party ordered the Roquefort burger that my partner had enjoyed last visit.... but it arrived a very long time after the other three of our meals and had neither the Roquefort, or the lovely sauce of last time on it . She was extremely disappointed. In conclusion, we will not be spending our coins at Bistro du Coin again!"
