We always enjoy dining at Chef Geoff and were especially interested in trying the Monday Mussels menu. We were seated promptly and placed our orders. The server brought my husband's order promptly but my entree was not correct. Our waiter apologized for the error and indicated that it would be corrected. However, a 15 minute wait was required -- not quite what we had expected. I'll chalk this up to a busy night but hope that the serve improves on our next visit. The mussels, by the way, were fantastic.

We were celebrating my wife’s birthday. We were greeted with “Happy Birthday (wife’s name) written on a blackboard in the reception area. We had requested a quiet table when we booked and we were thoughtfully accommodated. The food was excellent and the service was very friendly and attentive. All in all, it was a great evening.
