Very disappointed with my overall meal & experience. Fishcake starter was very nice apart from the 2 very large fish bones which were inside, one of which I nearly swallowed the staff couldn’t have cared less! Main of swordfish steak with £3 supplement was dry, overcooked and tasteless again staff couldn’t have cared less! My sweet was New York cheesecake with Eaton mess which was delicious when I told waiter his reaction that saved the meal - well actually no it didn’t really. Having said that my husband’s main of confit of duck was absolutely outstanding and also he enjoyed his goats cheese starter, he chose cheese & biscuits with port which was OK for his sweet. Not once did any member of staff ask how our meal was and no one bothered to apologise for the 2 large fish bones which I considered unacceptable and no one said thank you or goodbye when we left. So all in all dissatisfaction with meal we had high hopes for after 2 recommendations, had the staff not been so unfriendly & unprofessional we may have given a better rating, it was as though the 2 fish bones were my fault! There are many more places in Lichfield for us to try.

First time here, a great experience all in. Service was exceptional, food delicious, expertly cooked and nearly fell off my chair when I got the bill. A gourmet 3 course french supper for 2, with 2 delicious bottles of wine for less than £100.

Excellent lunch last week as always. A regular haunt for many years. Menu refreshingly different from the usual predictable food. Changes every month.

I went to the Bistro with three friends. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the service was prompt. The food was delicious, my main dish was pork and it was the best I've ever had. Altogether a great experience.

Perfect for the quick pre-theatre bite we were after.Nice atmosphere, comfortable tables with legs at each corner (so no trying to fit your legs around a center pole.) Excellent friendly service and decent food.

Have dined here on a number of occasions. Always been impressed with both the quality of the food and the friendly staff. It’s a little far out for my friends to travel but worth it overall.
