We booked well in advance for a table accommodating four people for lunch. We arrived on time promply shown to our table in a shady corner. We were handed menus, but then completely ignored. We sat there, trying to attract attention to order for fifty minutes! We were about to walk out when a French gentleman on the next table went to speak to a member of the waiting staff about our the long wait. Someone did eventually come over, giving a very quick apology, we therefore eventually ordered. By this time it was 2pm. The meal was certainly not of the standard we have received here before. We were not compensated with even a token glass of wine. The attitude was poor. My only regret is that we didn't walk out sooner! We will not be returning.

Our reservation was somehow lost or forgotten by the staff, but there was a table available so we were kind of ok. Then we had to wait a bit my food was cold when it was served went back to the kitchen, where it was newly prepared again (That is a positive comment indeed! , but by the time i got my food, everybody else was finished, and i was very hungry. So that did not go too well and then, honestly the food was anything but exceptional. It was very ordinary like we can eat in any restaurant in the region so why go there ? All in all it was not what we expected staff was friendly though and so we left with very mixed feelings. I assume they can do better and some people obviously had a good time there eating we were not impressed and won't retry.

We arrived at 1:15 and were advised to order an aperitif with the wait for a table being about five minutes . We ordered two Perriers and settled in to wait. Twenty minutes later, we were told we could be served in our garden lounge seats as no tables were free. Fifteen minutes after that, we were still waiting for menus, so we paid and left, barely making it to another restaurant in Biot proper before the lunch service ended. It 's great that this place is that popular, but with the limited lunch hours of most restaurants in France, unrealistic time estimates are inconvenient and unacceptable. Just say that the wait will be a while so we can eat elsewhere without wasting everyone 's time.
