Bel endroit,menu intéressant,mon choix était très bien, celui des autres avec Carbonara semble avoir été décevant en lien avec la cuisson des pâtes. Le serveur a bien su comprendre nos goûts côté vin.

Une soirée mémorable ! L'ambiance du restaurant est authentique, réconfortante & intimiste. Nous retrouvons également ceci dans la cuisine qui est à la fois raffinée & classique ou des plats authentiques sont revisité avec une modernité unique. Le service a rendu notre soirée encore plus belle avec Cédric qui nous concocté un menu sur mesure pour équilibrer les mets avec la belle carte des vins. Je recommande vivement avec des amis ou en couple vous ne serez pas déçu ! Mention spéciale pour les coquilles de saint jaques en mise bouche !!!
