    Romantic Dinner for Two

    We arrived early without a reservation and got a warm welcome from the amiable host, who took us to a cozy table for two along an exposed brick wall. We'd been attracted to the old building in the first place and thought the interesting, quirky...More

    Only if you have the patience

    Came here because of the good reviews. Unfortunately it took us on average 20-30 minutes to get each course. Aracini was tasty, duck confit was good. Don’t think I have the patience to come back again though.

    Cozy Spot for Dinner

    We chose Gaslight on a whim. Having watched the original film and the later version with a very young Angela Lansbury. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was cinema-themed and decorated with old movie equipment. Dark enough to be romantic. An intimate space. The staff...More

    Dena with family, excellent dinner

    We were having dinner on August 8, 2018 and we had two of "poisson du jour" and a "bouef" accompanied by a Pinot Gris and we found it all exquisite. The place, even if you do not go to dinner, it's worth taking a look,...More

    Super tasting food

    Decided to visit the Gaslight with my wife and daughter. I had the steak, which was cooked to perfection. My wife and daughter the pasta dishes. Loved every minute, very tasty food. Then had desert which was even more delicious than the main course.

    Hello there, we will unfortunately be closed for the holidays. We reopen for 2017 at 5pm on Thurs 5th Jan. I would recommend making a booking this time of year as a few places are taking a well earned break. Cheers Patrick.
