My friend and I had quite a disappointing meal here last night. When entering the restaurant there was an extremely unwelcoming feeling coming from the staff, they just seemed very standoffish and arrogant. We were seated quite early, and the restaurant was practically empty, but there was absolutely no attention paid to our table with 4-5 staff members working. An example of this is that our water was not filled regularly like other tables were. This is what is expected in a restaurant of this supposed quality. The food was also disappointing. On a positive note, the oysters were very good and

My favourite city French restaurant. Very good and consistent food, superior service, welcoming and very well managed. Good mid-priced wine list and classy decor leave a good impression.

This is a proper menu, and outstanding well delivered for your City lunch. As one looks around the room, its dominated by the insurance market and the old school tie wearers. Excellent wine list. I give it 5*, but I would love the smell of the bathrooms to go. Difficult when it used to be a Balls Brothers in the late 1990s, its probably soaked into the woodwork.

I chose Cabotte to celebrate my birthday with a friend. A truly fantastic choice. The food was out of this world - high class French Cuisine, the wine list is beyond extensive. And the staff…..Just the right amount of attentiveness, super friendly and very knowledgable. It was a first class experience. Will be back!
