Aya Y.: "We had ordered the Souffle and Egg Meurette to start and a Croque Monsieur for main to share. The Egg Meurette came out not only lukewarm, but with what was supposed to be a "poached egg in red wine, bacon & sauteed mushroom sauce" base that tasted nothing but purely of salty beef stock, The chargrilled sourdough salvaged this rather disappointing starter. It had to be returned for a warmer serving. The Souffle was served in an incredibly small portion, was not "topped with melted butter" as described on the menu and with a teaser teaspoonful of apple & chutney frisee. The Croque Monsieur was served in a portion that is about a third of Valerie Patisserie's, and with a slither of topping of melted cheese. One key observation was none of the plates were served pre-heated. The temperature of the food came out far less than ideal. This was also largely contribtued by the fact that all the plates were not pre-warmed, The food simply didn't go down well at all. "
