"Having dined previously at Michelin Star restaurants we were very much looking forward to our reservation at the Gavroche . We were a party of three and ordered the menu exceptional vegetarian , the menu exceptional and one meal from the a la carte menu . Both menu exceptionals were disappointing , the only memorable course of both being the cheese soufflé , the cheese board offered a good selection but these are bought in and not made at the Gavroche , it’s also not the best idea to cut slices of different cheese using the same knives ! My wife who had chosen the a la carte menu enjoyed the cheese soufflé starter , the steak tournedos main and sticky toffee pudding dessert which interestingly wasn’t anything like sticky toffee pudding ! Perhaps it would be best to stay away from the menu exceptionals although this should not be the case ! Generally there was a lack of fine detail to the dining experience , a lack of enthusiasm from the staff other than the sommelier who was well worthy of a 2 Michelin star restaurant . Sadly we felt the whole experience was underwhelming and disappointing , perhaps tainted as a result of its upcoming closure ."
