C'était notre deuxième visite, on c'est laisser tempter par le menu dégustation avec accord vin. Aucun regret. J'ai commencé avec un espresso Martin qui n'est pas dans le menu, mais qu'on ma sans problème & gentiment préparer quand j'ai demandé si c'était possible. Mahi mahi, salade de tomates & pesto, pieuvre grillés, (pétoncles poêlées avec foie gras (pas dans les photos)), trou normand, magret de canard, financier aux amandes & d'autres sucreries. Excellente nourriture & excellent service.

Ayant déjà été chez Helena en couple & ayant ADORÉ notre expérience tant au niveau de la nourriture, l'ambiance & le service, nous avons décidé d'y retourner avec 3 autres couples afin de faire vivre l'expérience à nos amis.

Malheureusement, nous sommes tous sortis déçus de notre expérience. Tout de suite en partant, le pain amené sur notre table n'était pas frais. Nous avons tous pris le menu dégustation suite à la recommandation de notre serveur. Nous n'avions même pas eu le temps de terminer nos apéros que les plats ont commencés à débouler. Nous n'avions pas eu le temps de terminer nos premiers tapas, que deux autres assiètes sont arrivés. On se sentaient vraiment stressés au point de le dire au serveur. Ça n'a pas marché car nous avions eu un plat tout de suite après. Suite à ça, le calme plat pendant une bonne heure. Plus rien. Le service était loin d'être constant.

La nourriture quoique très savoureuse, n'était pas assez chaude (pour les plats chauds). Bref, pour le prix payé (250$ par couple incluant taxes & alcool), ce fut une expérience très inégale comparée à notre première expérience en couple.
Très bruyant comme atmosphere. Nous pouvions seulement discuter avec le couple à notre côté.
