I felt a bit uncomfortable with the strict two-hour limit on the reservation.
I was looking for a place to relax & enjoy drinks with friends, but it ended up feeling rushed.
Right at the two-hour mark, the waiter asked us to leave, which made the experience feel cut short.
The food & service were good, but the time pressure took away from the atmosphere.

La nourriture était très bonne, la serveuse très gentille. Par contre, hôtesse était bête & la table que nous avions était tout coincée avec le couple a côté. Même si nous avions réservé.
