However, our experiences in March and May of 2016 were disappointing. The service was incredibly slow, with wait times of 45-50 minutes after ordering on our last two visits. In May, we had to ask for our food to be boxed before it even arrived at our table because we were running out of time on our lunch break. This made us have to eat our lunches at work, which defeated the purpose of going out for a quick lunch. The Caesar salad was soggy and not fresh, and my co-worker's lobster linguini only had one small piece of lobster in it, making it seem cheap. While I still enjoy their pizza and smoked meat sandwich, my co-workers and I have decided not to risk going there again. Two bad experiences in a row cannot be just a coincidence.

Oh we were well surprised. The atmosphere of this bistro was good, the service was excellent, our waitress explained us the menu and advised very well. There was a large choice of pizzas and pastas but we ordered two «table d'hôte», the first one was with onion soup as an entry then beef bavette and Greek potatoes, and the second one was with fondue as an entry then veal liver and french fries, both were excellent ! It was tasty, well presented and generous. The desserts were also very good, my wife and I were very pleased by this restaurant which I recommend. We will be back for sure !

My critical title says 75% satisfied because we were two in 4 couples and 3 people liked it, the 4th being myself, I was disappointed with my meal! but first of all .... the restaurant, well decorated, warm, simple ... there is an outside terrace that is pleasant ... but made in two sections ... one underneath a canvas that protects from the weather .... the other outside the canvas, in the open air otherwise said .when it is beautiful and warm, it is pleasant to be outside ... everyone asked the section to it was open but not ... and the sun did not lead the terrace at all because at the back of the building at the time of dinner ... ridiculous this choice!!!For what is the mediocre service ... read at the end completely . the chosen entries : - 3 onion soups ... which apparently were delicious- 1 melted parmesan with 3 cheeses ... (my entrance) ... very expensive (9)$ for 2 little fondues ... that were not even better with a very good meat.The meals :1) gratin of lobster and seafood (very good according to my wife) mixture of lobster, scallops, shrimps, palurdes and goberges on angelic hair, accompanied by cream sauce and fish fumet, gratinned with mozzarella) Pepperoni did not taste what must taste pepperoni ... tasty and spicy ... we would have said bologna! ... but the sauce was what gave the horrible taste to pizza ... the 1st tip I ate it in full ... but with a certain dsoutla 2nd I ate only half of the garnish, the paste and the croutela 3e, that the pate and the croute, taking care to scratch the sauce with the knifela 4e, I ate only the croute! which left a mountain of garnish in the plate!A chance I took the 10po because still expensive at $15 ... but the 12po in a cost of $24!!! It would have been expensive to eat that the pate and the croute!!!So for my part ... very disappointed! and more ... service was very ordinary! Our waitress was stupid in his answers. I will give examples ...- at the beginning of the service, she asks if we would like to take a beer, but no one wanted it ... so we all politely decline ... she answers : ok! with a griming face that meant "your, my tip will not be big-"! we asked, before we received our meals if we could have some bread again, she told us that yes but 10 minutes is going and still no bread (there were about 6 tables of taken in the whole restaurant ... very quiet tonight, so it was not a matter of landing) .our meals arrive and we ask very politely and with the smile if we could get some bread (if she would have forgotten it) on a dry tone! .... we all said then, quilts, are we disturbing her! at the end of the meal, when she unloads our table and asks if everything was at our taste ... she sees my plate, my pizza, all the trimming had been put aside and leave in the plate ... and looks at me with a weird air.I told her that I didn't like pizza at all, that I didn't find it good ... she shoots me from the look and tells me very foolishly: "Not everyone! ... but there I had more than enough of her unpleasant attitude and I said to her "well it's not everyone who has the gut to say when it's not good" she shot me again and left ... her tip too because no one has left! short ... beautiful little restaurant, beautiful terrace but so let the world sit in the open air ... summer is too short! pleasant meal to 75% satisfaction but a very ordinary service! We're not going back!
