I have been meaning to eat here for some time, but never got around to it.

This place would be my first choice if I was in the area.

I agree with David, that would be my first choice. The other possibility is Colette's which is at the Grove http://www.thegrove.co.uk/food/colettes_fine_dining_restaura.aspx Much depends on where in Hertfordshire you are staying.

Remember me to Jean Christophe, he spent some time with us and invited me up to cook with him at the Stoke Audi event.

He,s a thoroughly nice bloke, and a bloody good chef.

mmmm i had a great meal at auberge du lac a few years back but the same friends i went with, went again recently and said it had really gone down hill and they were very disappointed indeed. I also like darcys in st albans - not on the same page as auberge du lac ( as i remember it) but still very good. The brocket arms is another option - the restaurant there is very nice indeed and has some serious restaurant quality food on offer but again not a "name" like auberge.

It's nearly two years since I moved from Hertfordshire, but the Bean Tree in Harpenden used to be a good bet - and handy for Tea Green.
