We also really liked the presentation of the dishes — everything looked beautiful, neat, and appetizing. We were very satisfied and would be happy to come back again.

The order of events was completely unexpected: we were first served a bottle of Chablis – but without a wine cooler or ice. We then had to wait 30 minutes for the appetizer (12 oysters), and it finally arrived at the same time as the main courses, by which time our wine had already warmed up. Absolutely infuriating!

Furthermore, communication is virtually impossible without speaking French, which is why attentive or friendly service was sorely lacking. In retrospect, one slightly regrets eating there – even going to McDonald's would have been a better and less stressful choice.

BUT I was very upset that my allergy was not taken seriously. I was nearly given a soup containing alcohol . I very clearly stated this would make me ill . The waiter was very sloppy about this and did not take it seriously . This situation should never happen and should be addressed immediately . What a shame for this to happen in a very good restaurant .
