Un peu cher si on compare à d'autres adresses similaires mais tout était très bon: les huîtres à tomber, les poissons très bien cuits, les desserts bons & originaux. Les vins trop chers, mais sélection de spiritueux au top
Marc at the bar made me a personalized drink based on my taste & It was perfect! Also Charles the waiter was super friendly & efficient, will be coming back!
Le service était vraiment impeccable. Pour la nourriture, l'entrée une brioche accompagnée de fromage,radis & cornichon était un vrai delice. C'est au repas principal que cela c'est gâché. Mon magret de canard était cuit inégal. J'ai eu le droit à des morceaux qui avait l'air bleu & très dur à couper. Les endives manquaient d'assaisonnement mais la purée de carotte & le jus était excellent. Ma copine elle a pris la paella & la gambas était trop cuite & la paella n'avait pas la croûte de brûler que doit avoir une paella. Le dessert semifreddo aux pommes poché, chaque composants était un delice séparément mais ensemble ça partais dans tous les sens. Le couple de la table à côté de nous on eu la chance eux de se faire offrir un tartare car ils ont hésité entre deux entrée. Super gentil mais de quoi nous rendre jaloux. Cela dit, je reste un peu déçu de mon expérience surtout en tant que fan de top chef, nous pensions pouvoir voir Jérémie qui était pas là. Ah oui & si vous y allez attendez vous à payer votre eau pétillante même si le serveur vous offre le choix entre de l'eau plat ou pétillante!
Great place with delicious food & a cool feel. Just be aware that special diets aren't accommodated all that well. Our vegetarian diner had a tough time getting something.

The most important thing is always the food. We loved the mushroom appetizer (could have been hotter), but unfortunately the short rib reduction was thick, overpowering & made it so rich it was hard to eat all of it. The steak, potatoes & parsnip needed salt & seasoning. Taste before it leaves the kitchen.
Service & atmosphere was wonderful. We had the mushroom appetizer & it was very good. Definitely recommend that. My short ribs had a reduction that was thick & like molasses. It was too rich & hard to eat a lot of. Parsnip puree needed seasoning & the steak my husband ordered needed to be seasoned. But the experience was very nice. The food needs more attention
