We love the French table because it serves good, affordable, French food in a warm and welcoming (unpretentious) dining room. Proprietor Herve Martin is lovely and treats all his customers well. The duck confit cassoulet is a favourite dish. Good wine selection. Also, the restaurant is good with kids, which is unexpected - friendly, patient service and smaller portions. We've gone for brunch, lunch and dinner many times.
