He recommended wines, gave (and stuck to) timings for when dishes would come out and managed to refill our drinks, engage in banter, cook and plate the food beautifully, and serve it as if he were two or three people. A brilliant experience, would highly recommend."

Thanks Pierre the whole evening was fabulous. Love that entree especially - satay powder - who’d have thought!"
