The staff were friendly, attentive and highly efficient. The food was wonderful and reasonably priced. The setting of the restaurant is refined but comfortable. We had a three course meal and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend a visit.

The staff is very friendly and helpful and fluently speaking English. We took the menu 5 courses at 75€ clearly too overpriced for what we got. 2 amuses (gazpacho of melon/ Thai shrimps) very average : amuses should get the tone of the dinner and we started to be disappointed. First starter of langoustine and mango: veery simple strange consistency of the langoustine. Second starter foie gras: excellent. Main: lam excellent. Then 2 desserts: first with tropical fruits but the dominant note was mango (again) the second a monotone of raspberry in every form without any phantasy. Very kind was to get coffee sweets even without ordering coffee … guess! Mango jelly and raspberry marshmallow …. It would have been better to order a la carte and probably location too much touristic. When joking we said the chef likes mango, the staff was pretty defensive. At the end spent 201€ with one good bottle but not really gastronomic experience

I would expect this kind of cuisine in a simple restaurant of even a brasserie. Luckily the portions were large for a 7 course menu, so we weren't hungry. If you come here I would advice to just order à la carte, the menu is just not worth it.
