The fish we had was very simply cooked but very fresh.

We went for the 28 euro set menu which I felt was good value. Service could have been better as the starters and mains came out very quickly then waited a long time for dessert. However it was also lovely just soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the wine. Would recommend and visit again.

Chef (owner?) came out to talk to patrons, but our French speaking skills were pretty bad and I don't think we were as complimentary as he wanted and I'm sure he told us never to return! Bit much after spending €220.

The restaurant offers a great view onto the lake and a beach for kids to play on while the adults relax at the restaurant with full view of the beach. The sun sets directly across form the restaurant. The food was very good as well.

The wine came out fairly quickly along with my wife's entree ( she had the plat de jour), but after that it all seemed to fall apart. There weren't that many people there but we waited, waited and waited for our main courses, and when mine finally arrived (the cotes d'agneau), they were charred on the outside and way too cooked inside. (Really in France - lamb overcooked!?).After that we waited some more for my wife's dessert, and waited even longer after we had asked for the bill. In fact I think they had almost forgotten about us as the place was emptying and they were spending more time telling potential customers that they were closed rather than attending to us. (We probably could have just walked out and they wouldn't have noticed.)So in summary the food was mediocre, the service was mediocre, the views over the lake were great, but there must be better places to eat with the same view.
