I ordered escargot that I love, and only saw that it made a wise: in an escargot pan with butter and garlic. this escargot is embellished in tomato sauce and does not say anything about it on the menu (or I would not have ordered it) I also ordered a heavy fish and shrimp special: the heavy fish was hard and inconspicuous. the rest of the plate, the garnel and vegetables, was delicious. other escaped and aubergine care were good, but only ok. atmosphere is beautiful, although layout is strange. service was the strong suit.

The appetizers were good, Brie and shrimp presented nicely, but our main course flounder with crab meat was dry over cooked and the tuna was cold and extremely rare. The duck was ok and the lamb chops were far most the best choice. The apple tart dessert was yummy to finish.

My family and I decided to make a last-minute reservation for Mother's Day at 3:00 pm. We started our meal with burrata and mozzarella-tomato appetizers, both of which were just okay. Two of us ordered the rack of lamb, while the other two ordered linguine with seafood (scallops, shrimp, etc.). Overall, we all agreed that the food was adequate, but not exceptional in any way. It seems that the quality of the food has declined since our last visits.
