    Food was good but it lets itself down with the service. it was not busy but we continously had to chase the staff for a new bottle of water, or to take the plates away. They never checked in to see how we were getting on. I would say the staff are reactive rather than proactive which is big no-no for me in a restaurant. It has gotten quite a bit more expensive in the last few years, not the only one, but the slowness of staff and the finer details means I won't be going back. Shame.

    Another great night at Bresson! Wonderful atmosphere and great food. A big shout out for service. Asked for an espresso martini at the end of the evening and while the bartender had left the team improvised and presented the perfect cocktail! Well done to them. I look forward to the next visit! Thanks!

    I was surprised by the fact that we had to keep asking for water - service was rather slow.
