On the other hand, we were extremely disappointed with the service (40 min without anything on the table having ordered a bottle of wine), the crab entrance and especially the lobster at 30 euros the dish (very small portion). I'll leave you alone with the photo of the dish. But it is not even this point that has led me to write this comment, it is rather the reaction of the servers that do not ask you if it has agreed to you and when you mention the problem aggressively sends you back to you that you are the only one to complain. in a restaurant that wants this kind of standing or rather that practice this type of tariff I find it unacceptable. the minimum is to listen to constructive customers and not only those who tell you what you want to hear! In short with an addition to 110 euros for two, I think we can listen when there is a problem. not to be in business dinner.

Everything was good and well-treated. the frame is pleasant. I had already had lunch and dinner during previous stays in anger. Once again I was satisfied. I recommend it.

We ordered 3 pizzas which were more like flatbread. The staff was not polite and we could not choose our table. Hugh prices for not-so-good food. read more We ordered 3 pizzas which were more like flatbread. The staff was not polite and we could not choose our table. Hugh prices for not-so-good food.

The portions are rather small so do not hesitate to opt for the three-course menu. An extra effort in the originality of desserts would be appreciated and in THE country of cheeses one could expect more interesting choices than those they currently propose.

My friends cote de boeuf didn't arrive and told to order another main just as we were being served ours - very poor. Overall pricey and poor.So sadly after many years I have to say not again and we will try somewhere else. Off the recommended list.
