The result: great summer evening - and we had to sit with some other few inside - no view to the river (but there are anyhow not a lot of river view tables). We had to wait long for the card and got only one for two, we had to decide for dessert right from the beginning, as they said we are too many with 10 people. We did only get bread after a very long time and asking for it, one of us tasted the wine - but we were forgotten again afterwards - nobody else was served wine - after a while we started to serve ourselves - and had to continue with that the whole evening - nobody ever served us the wine. My starter was barely warm. We asked for quick serving but ended up with 3 h serving time. The worst were the main dishes, some claimed tastelessness and two had some small, bony froglegs - without anything else on the plate!!! For the frog legs 6 Euros were taken as a plus indicated on the menue - and that w/o any side dish. After asking for rice or frites the one got the frites which were brown and fatty so he had to give it back and got some better back. The other got vegetables but without asking if that would be ok and placed to the person next to it. We had to take the rest of the plate from the side table by ourselves and on the bill the add on frites and vegetable was invoiced. I did not eat the desert - it was too sweet. The vanilla cream however was fine. We had to say to 3 service people that we want cheese and desert served at the same time for the sake of time. We found our way out alone - nothing to add!

Interesting menu well executed and delivered. Frogs, cod, interesting cheese selection accompanied by a 2009 Volnay and a Gevrey Moines 2007.

The terrace is absolutely great. The bib gourmand menu with fish was really tasty, creative and overall very good price for the quality. The dessert was particularly good without being too sweat. At 9.30, the mosquitoes attack fiercely. The children menu is a bit expensive compared to usual prices, but as good as adults' one.

Just a really great time. Perfect welcome and food. read more Just a really great time. Perfect welcome and food.
