The food was excellent, our group of French photographer friends remarked on it! Se we were a group of 26. Our waitress was very attentive making sure we all had what we wanted. It was lovely to be seated in the dining area and be in no rush so that we could sit and chat over our meal all evening. As it was our last evening together, after a 3 day visit it was a perfect spot. So thanks Sam, Bradley and Kritzstina for your cheerful service Thank you again Reka for putting together a menu for us which catered for everyone and including drinks and coffee was great value. I shall certainly recommend the Richard ! to other people.
