Tout était très bon avec un seul petit bémol pour le plat adulte qui était moins copieux que le plat du menu enfant... cherchez l'erreur... ce qui a motivé le 4 étoiles. J'y reviendrai si je retourne à Amboise.

We arrived at 7:15, ordered our food and by 9:20 we had not received our first course but at 9:30 we were presented with our main course with no explanation. We had inquired as to the status of our first course at 8:45 and the waitress just shrugged her shoulders and said she did not know understand English . Suffice it to say, we left euros to pay for our two glasses of wine and walked out very hungry. They made no attempt to understand us. We were the first people in the restaurant. Many other customers came in after us and were served their full orders in a normal timely fashion. We cannot comment on the food because we never received anything that we ordered. Non-French speaking people should NEVER go there. I rarely speak badly of restaurants but feel that people need to be warned about this horrible experience. Amen!

We were there last week and had a delicious meal in the garden. Most tables were full outside and even inside was quite busy, not many tourists - most were French. I had the salmon main course and my husband had a filet steak which was cooked exactly as he asked for. The cheese trolley was amazing - fantastic selection. The service was good, did not hurry you but were not slow either and overall the food and wine were really good, a little more expensive than some but definitely worth it.

Menu is only in French and we struggled to translate and make our choices, which we sent over to restaurant. Shortly after our message we received another message from the restaurant which we tried to translate and did not understand eventually. Google translate gave us very strange translation… Shortly after that our reservation was cancelled on the day of booking Message to the restaurant english is also not my mother tongue language, I speak Russian and Estonian but english is international mean of communication. It’s rude to assume that tourist should speak French and understand your menu and messages you send We don’t visit restaurants with rude attitude to their guest even already over the email

We started out with the foie gras and mushroom soup which was amazing. Each of us ordered a different dish and each was fantastic. We shared a chocolate mouse and their special apple tart, which topped off a great dinner. The service was fast and friendly.
