Such a little gem of a restaurant that I'm hesitant to leave a glowing review, so I may keep this not-so-secret pearl all to myself! Our server was professional & fun, not stuffy like other high end restos & took great care to work with my food allergy. The oysters were sublime as were the mignonette & sauce. We had the paella which was so flavourful! My dinner partner claimed it was better than the five he tasted in Spain! A Morgon was recommended which is now at the top of my red wine list. Truly a lovely evening in a beautiful, cozy & vibrant & relaxed atmosphere.
Le service était super. On vérifiait souvent que je ne manque de rien.
J'ai très bien mangé également, avec le service en cinq plat j'ai pu goûter à plusieurs chose, je vous recommande !
The food & service were amazing. I highly recommend. We were 4, we each had different cocktails, appetizers & mains. All were excellent, congratulations to the kitchen staff. Well done.
