Unfortunately the fact of wanting to do services these evenings, creates stress in servers that prevents a cool evening like that should be. timing takes over the quality of service. customers need to eat in a limited time to set the table for those who booked just after. It is to confuse dinner with all the conviviality that this entails and cinema sessions that follow at a fixed time. Too bad.

Elegant restaurant with art deco style frame (very superb,) very comfortable installation around a nice table, impeccable service: definitely highlights of the hotel.Beautiful spaces on several levels. volume of music a little high. The dishes are good to very good. strong: prices are very reasonable for the quality of the dishes, the setting and the location. Nice wine list. We didn't have any slow service problems, everything went well. It was a very good evening for us.

Good quality, very pleasant service. the only dish was the length of the meal, 2 hours for the dessert dish with a cocktail (we had only 2) but above all the answer given by the person in charge of the payment at the bar: "we can not do better, we are in the packaging, we should not be pressed for the dinner “damage to finish this experience with such a remark... we will come back hoping for a better organization at all because everything has been well

We eventually ordered drinks. The Aperol Spritz was not up to standard, a kind of edible sugar straw altered the taste. Waited for wait staff to arrive to order food, there was no service and promised aperitif accompaniment scheduled for 18h30 never arrived. We had planned to continue with dinner but decided to walk out.

Its courses are well made, well presented and well balanced, with a whiff of creativity. If you have a dislike of overly fat dishes, you will feel good about the menu. The bread is especially good in a country where bread is usually good already. The wine menu is quite excellent. There is a good choice, in harmony with its menu, with a fair choice of wine by the glass. Moreover, it pays attention to the producers and their goals. There is a superb collection of local wines, centred on the Muscadet grape. I would have loved to have a tasting, but these wines were available only by the bottle. A bad miss, since the most interesting aspect of the collection is the subtle nuances you can only appreciate by tasting the wines side by side. Fortunately, we could order a very rare Muscadet moelleux by the glass as apéritif. It was delightful. The staff is courteous and attentive. I appreciated the interior, art déco, as used on the big ocean liners constructed and maintained in nearby Saint Nazaire in the previous century. Admire the bar and take a look at the big lamp on the ceiling!
