I really cannot understand how anyone could find the cuisine mediocre: it's inventive, beautifully displayed, and if you take the trouble to ask, the personnel will give you a detailed inventory of what's on the plate. And it's delicious.

We choose the menu Escapade at 31 Euros and Escale at 19.70 Euros, very reasonable compared to British prices. We had dinner in mid-week and profited of a quiet time when we could enjoy a prime view over the river Seine that run at the bottom of the property. It was a relaying and enjoyable evening.

My husband found this restaurant and we had Mother's Day Lunch there along with my son. It is a nice restaurant but a tiny bit rough around the edges. Overall we enjoyed our meal. I had the cocotte for my starter but my egg was hard boiled but it was still tasty as it had bits of foie gras in it. My main dish was lamb and that was pretty good. My husband had the faux filet in a sauce and I prefered his dish. The side was a melange of vegetables and I thought that they were a bit bland. A few things that we noticed: When we were walking up from the bottom there is an area under the trees that is a big mess and it looks like people just throw things there. Chairs, etc. The room that we were in had one table with white plastic garden chairs. I understand that it was Mother's Day and they probably had to add extra tables but for the price that you pay for your meal I think that they could do better. We waited quite a while for the wine menu, we were almost done with our starter by the time we got the menu. We didn't realize that the waitress had served us the wrong wine until after we were drinking it but that was really no big deal. Like I said overall we enjoyed our meal and I would definitely try this restaurant again!

Visited presumingly mainly from local people, the restaurant was nevertheless stylish and in line with the ambiente. The restaurant staff was familiar/friendly (do not expect perfect professionalism). Regretably, the Duck Rouennaise requires command in advance. But the supreme de canard healed the disappointment. The cook needs to be an enthusiast in satisfying his guests. Anything presented to us was to our full plessure including the bill. That is a restaurant which we will clearly revisit, but next time with pre commanded duck.
