Wonderful'old school' classic French cuisine restaurant. Food is excellent & the wine list is varied & interesting. The rooms are well decorated. Only thing missing, however, is a dress code for evening dining, such as no Bermuda shorts, collarless shirts & running shoes.

The vibe was just what we were hoping for. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly & attentive... & the veal special was one of the best meals I have tasted. Great wine list.. I recommend the Cote du Rhone selection.

We spent our anniversary here last week & the service was amazing, great recommendations from the waitress to try a variety of dishes which were all incredibly tasty & savoury. The wine selection was great & very fair priced. Definitely recommend the foie gras, & filet mignon. Loved our experience & we will definitely return.

We had the scallops & rack of lamb. The seared foie gras was expensive (even for here) but very different & tasty. The escargots were also very good. Not a cheap dinner, but a great place to treat yourself once in a while. No cheap wines on this winelist. The daily specials would be be cheaper.

Service- 1 out of 5 atrocious

The seared foie gras a 10/10, everything I dreamt of, one of the best. However, it all went downhill from there.

The fries that came out with the beef tartare were incredibly soggy & gross. Every single fry was an inch long or less, as if someone had scrounged up all the disgusting leftover bits in oil that should have been thrown in the trash. Not ok.

Long after I was done with my meal, the waitress said that's how the fries normally are, & that they may have just used smaller potatoes. Lol. Never saw her after that, other than when she walked by & just cleared my glass of wine away without asking if I'd like another or if I'd like dessert/the bill.

I asked for my check from the hostess as the waitress acknowledged every table around me, except for mine, & I proceeded to wait 20 min without any help. I literally had to get up from my seat & wait at the hostess stand to pay & leave. The service literally pissed me off & left a horrible taste.

We've dined at Le Surcouf many times before & have always enjoyed the food & atmosphere. That's why we chose it as the place to celebrate our wedding anniversary with friends. Unfortunately, the service during this visit was far below the standard we've come to expect.
From the beginning of the evening, it felt as though our table had been forgotten. It took quite a while for anyone to bring us menus or a wine list. Once we ordered, the appetizers arrived & were excellent-beautifully presented & full of flavor. The main courses were also delicious, with one exception: my friend's lamb, ordered medium, arrived nearly raw-far closer to blue than rare. She's not picky, but this was clearly undercooked. It took some time to flag someone down to return it to the kitchen, & we noticed another table nearby also sending their meat back.
Dessert was enjoyable, but our coffees were brought to us afterward & served lukewarm. After finishing, we asked for the bill-but again, we were left waiting. We had to ask three different staff members before my husband eventually got up to find someone. He discovered the staff gathered in the back, drinking. When we finally received the bill, the waiter offered only a weak apology & questioned who we had spoken to earlier. I simply told him this wasn't the level of service we were used to, especially for a special occasion. He said nothing in response.
We still appreciate the food & the setting at Le Surcouf, but this experience was disappointing. We hope this was an off night & not a sign of declining standards.We have been to the Surcouf many times in the past.
It was clear that no one on staff knew who was responsible for our table. Throughout the evening, we were approached by five different people, none of whom seemed to be communicating with each other. At a restaurant known for its typically high standards of service, this lack of coordination was especially disappointing.

Every time that we visit Le Surcouf we are treated to wonderful experience. All the staff are attentive, efficient & courteous - a very professional team. The meal preparation is outstanding & the presentations are beautiful. The wine list is extensive & unique. When we are looking for a special dinner out, are number one choice is Surfouf & they always make the event special.

Another amazing dinner experience at this fantastic restaurant. With the owner always omnipresent & helping staff while making rounds from table to table, great service is assured. The cooking team is outstanding, putting out plate after plate of what is, in my opinion, Michelin quality food.

Although the wine selection is very respectable, the house wine is awesome.
