The menu is very good and stays true to the ‘French’ heritage of
the restaurant.
Frogs legs, venison and l’ escargots have all been sampled and were excellent. The service here is warm and friendly yet very professional and most of all I think QSF exhibits excellent value for money.
Yet again can not fault this restaurant at all - staff, service, food and atmosphere all outstanding. We were a party of 16 celebrating my sons 18th Birthday - Robert was the most attentive and accommodating host as usual and coped with all the fussy eaters in the party. I recommend this restaurant to everyone and this is the reason it’s been my favourite since 1996 !! Thanks to everyone for making our celebration extra special
Night out with friends
The staff were friendly and very welcoming. The food was excellent with plenty of choice for everyone. I had the ham hock followed by a fillet steak both were cooked to perfection and very tasty. We will definitely be back
