Been to Maison Bleue three times. First time excellent. Second time we booked for my wife's birthday (Dec 13th). Asked for a quiet table and specifically asked for no Christmassy bits. Table location OK but subjected to crackers and holly on the table - hastily removed! I asked when booking whether the standard menu was on, but on arrival was presented with cut down Christmas menu. Meal OK, but otherwise not impressed.

Third - and final time - we ate here we were pushed to an early booking. Restaurant was 90% empty. Waiter hovered while we ate starters and got the distinct impression they wanted to hurry us through and turn the table.

Ordered duck cooked pink. This arrived stone cold and I think it had been sitting round for a while as we were a bit slower than they wanted with the starter. We sent it back. It was replated on a warm plate and represented. Still stone cold. Management told us that when duck is cooked this way, less heat is applied to it and it is therefore understandably cooler. My wife asked how that explained the cold vegetables - a good point I thought. We were then told that if the food was not to our liking we should take ourselves elsewhere.

We left and have not been back since - there are plenty of other good restaurants in Bury to choose from where you are not thrown out if you send the food back. At any price, I don't expect this treatment, but at £100 plus life is just too short....
