You're in the bistro. Excellent food, very friendly and smiling waiters. They wanted to order, but they recommend to wait at the end of the main course to see if we are still hungry, and indeed we were really full after the net! Will come back

Eat in the main salon if possible for the full effect. Very good wine list, friendly staff and excellent food. Elliot the cook is only 25 years old, but cooks over his years. Wonderful.

When we arrived, the restaurant was empty aside from one other couple. We asked for organic wine and were told they don't have any. Ok.. I guess they're not that into wine.... Then we told the waiter that we'd called ahead to tell them we're vegan, so the chef can make whatever he wants. The waiter returned with the news that the chef decided that he did NOT want to make any edits to his menu. This is not normal behavior for chefs in major cities (or even rural, really) and it was quite frustrating. Adding more diverse items to the menu that reflect the younger generations preferences can only stand to benefit the restaurant. Hopefully they will adapt to the changing times instead of continuing to turn away diners who want to eat healthy, ethical or sustainable meals.
