The cuisine is far too simplistic. The breast (half) was too tough. With just a cider sauce. The scallops looked like scallops. the wine and crémant offered by the sommelier were very good

I particularly liked the cod main dish. Service was also ok. The wine list was extensive a little pricy.

The poulet fermier could be more interesting. I wasn't happy with the choice of the main course. Quite intriguing fromage, but fromage a day before in Saint-Sabine was by far more impressive.

The room in itself is nice, and waiters were kind, even though looking a bit tensed. This may be explained by screams and shouts overheard from the nearby kitchen, which set the tone for the dinner. Though I understand kitchens are somehow battle places, having it as a background for dinner was far from my idea of a great experience. So about food. The place is trying hard to make it a gastronomic experience, which it could seem for inexperienced guests, but actually falls flat. Starter with snails ravioli and gambas, topped with mined tomatoes. Why not? But actually everything was rather tasteless. Followed by a white fish, again good quality (though undercooked), but again little to no taste. I would definitely not say people are not trying, but overall one would advise to cover the basics or propose a local, robust menu well mastered rather than move to more creative which has little to no interest. Expensive? Actually yes for the result. Worth going? Probably not
