I
was
really
curious
about
this
restaurant
that
had
recently
been
given
a
Michelin
star,
so
when
it
came
to
organising
our
company's
Christmas
dinner,
I
decided
to
choose
this
restaurant.
Located
in
a
lovely
looking
house,
the
restaurant
interior
was
cosy,
if
a
little
old-fashioned.
But
that
said,
it
is
nicely
spread
out
so
that
our
group
of
8
didn't
feel
we
were
either
disturbed
by
the
other
guests
or
that
we
might
disturb
them.
Although
the
restaurant
wasn't
terribly
busy
when
we
entered,
it
took
the
staff
a
bit
of
time
to
realise
we'd
come
and
we
weren't
particularly
welcomed.
Once
we
were
seated,
however,
things
moved
much
more
efficiently.
We
started
off
with
some
champagne
and
then
all
decided,
more
or
less,
to
go
with
the
menu
recommended
by
the
chef.
I
was
a
little
disappointed
that
it
wasn't
the
menu
on
the
website,
but
as
the
hostess
pointed
out
(which
I
hadn't
realised)
it
says
that
that
menu
is
simply
a
sample
-
that
sample,
however,
sounded
absolutely
fabulous.
No
matter,
this
menu
was
perfectly
fine.
We
started
off
with
a
little
amuse
bouche
of
some
veal
with
a
little
balsamic
vinegary
type
sauce
-
nice
but
not
extraordinary.
The
first
course
was
variations
of
tuna
-
delicious!
A
little
sashimi,
a
little
tartar
and
some
lightly
seared
tuna.
Perfectly
seasoned,
nice
little
dashes
of
sauces
on
the
plate
-
all
in
all
a
true
delight.
Another
dish
was
monkfish
in
a
lobster
bisque.
Very
tasty,
but
I've
had
better
cooked
monkfish
and
tastier
bisques
but
it
was
very
good.
One
course
was
some
sort
of
ravioli
with
cured
ham,
mushrooms
and
summer
truffles
-
copious
amount
of
truffles
-
loved
it.
The
'main'
was
a
veal
steak
-
tasty,
not
the
most
tender
but
I
am
not
particular
about
meat
that
melts,
I
prefer
a
bit
of
a
bite
with
a
really
good
taste.
So
as
veal
goes
it
was
really
good.
Finally
we
had
a
little
cheese
platter
-
which
was
-
a
cheese
platter
-
no
cheese
stood
out,
but,
for
me
always
a
lovely
way
to
end
a
meal.
The
dessert
on
the
menu
didn't
appeal
to
most
of
us,
so
I
can't
comment.
I
asked
for
wine
pairing
and
they
did
a
splendid
job.
We
settled
on
just
two
wines
-
a
white
burgundy,
which
was
excellent
-
and
then
we
had
a
Spanish
red
-
a
crianza,
which
was
good,
but
some
of
our
group
were
not
completely
happy,
so
when
it
was
time
to
order
another
bottle,
I
asked
for
something
else
and
she
recommended
the
riserva
of
the
same
wine
-
a
2008
aged
18
months
in
the
barrel.
And
it
was
a
huge
improvement.
We
all
loved
the
Riserva.
Everyone
was
really
happy
with
the
meal,
the
restaurant
was
warm
and
friendly,
the
chef
popped
in
to
ask
if
we
were
happy
and
I
can
say,
another
good
Christmas
dinner
done
in
the
right
environment
with
the
right
food
for
all
tastes.
Thanks
you
Schmitts.
And
on
a
final
note,
I
have
to
say
it's
probably
the
best
value
for
money
you
can
get
in
a
Michelin
star
restaurant
in
the
region.
Very
very
reasonably
priced
menu
at
this
quality
and
cooking
level.
