Nous sommes venus mon mari & moi avec des amis avant les fêtes de fin d'année.
Le service a été très long, la nourriture est bonne mais peu généreuse compte tenu du prix.

Notre passage au bar a été un vrai bonheur: Théo le jeune barman, est rapide, précis, sympathique & très intéressant. Nous avons pu discuter avec lui de façon très agréable.

L'expérience du restaurant sans être négative est un peu décevante, cependant, ce passage au bar a réellement illuminé notre soirée!

Good experience overall, however for the price, none of the dishes were impressive, some of them were either too sweet or missing salt. Service was great, & decor beautiful but the whole place smelled like seafood.

Geweldig restaurant, vriendelijke ontvangst. Druk,maar ze geven iedereen persoonlijke aandacht. Eten is van topklasse! Frans/Europese invloed is een welkome verassing.

Nous y avons mangé pour le repas du réveillon de Noël. Le cadre du restaurant est superbe, calme, tamisé avec un joli sapin de Noël.

La cuisine est très bonne, digne d'un repas de Noël. Sauf la salade qui était très basique & peu copieuse… Gros point fort : le personnel est au petit soin pour répondre à vos questions.

Le petit bémol était l'attente, entre chaque service nous attendions entre 25 & 45 minutes, c'était un peu long…alors que la table d'à côté était servie bien plus rapidement.

Restaurant Bonaparte is nice but unremarkable-nothing I ate was offensive, but nothing really impressed me.

Cocktail options are fun, & the cream of mushroom soup was very good. The plating on the entrees seemed a little tacky & unrefined. The lamb was well cooked & had good texture, though lacked flavor to me, & the chicken with brie similarly tasted like… chicken & brie, & nothing else. The duck was pretty good though in a very sweet sauce.

The desserts were standard, the chocolate mousse was a little disappointing as it didnt taste like they used real chocolate in it as opposed to powder, & was simply piped into a bowl.

The interior ambiance is very nice, & the service was good. While I think the food here is good, I believe there are better options around both for flavor & presentation of dishes

Simply perfect. Every element of the meal with wine pairing was exceptional. One of the best meals I've had in my life!

Nous avions réservé au restaurant Bonaparte suite à une recommandation & avec de grandes attentes. Malheureusement, l'expérience a été mitigée.

La cuisine était bonne & les plats bien exécutés, mais les portions étaient assez petites par rapport au prix. Les tables sont très rapprochées, ce qui enlève beaucoup d'intimité, surtout pour un repas en couple. L'ambiance était plutôt neutre, sans animation ni atmosphère particulière, ce qui rend l'expérience moins mémorable.

Un point très négatif concerne les toilettes des femmes : elles étaient bondées & dégageaient une mauvaise odeur, ce qui est vraiment décevant pour un établissement de ce niveau.

Globalement, c'est correct au niveau de la cuisine, mais je trouve que la réputation du restaurant est un peu exagérée par rapport à l'expérience vécue.
