L'Ortolan restaurant reviews






Average rating: 4.6
We're lucky enough to have gone for our 3rd time here and we love it! The new chef's food was spectacular; the staff are friendly and attentive; the live musician on Friday evening fitted well; and Jason's cocktails are the best we've had. For the price it is absolutely worth it for a treat - we've never been disappointed!
