The service & food were excellent. We ordered the'Plateau Roi de la mer' which was so delicious & beautifully presented. The drinks were superb. Our server was extremely attentive to our needs. We're definitely going back.

Nous sommes allés sur un coup de tête, un jeudi soir. Le serveur est ultra sympathique, nous conseille très bien, est à l'écoute & rit aux blagues de mon amoureux! La carte des vins est sympa, nous avons goûté aux huîtres, aux bouchées de crabe, aux calmars frits & tout était absolument délicieux. Parfait pour un 5 à 7 ou un rendez-vous romantique.
Microscopic «okay» dishes for a price of a full meal… sangria was very average. Had to wait to enter because a hostess was chatting on the phone. The food took ages to arrive
Overall, quite disappointing
We got the seafood platter which was an amazing value for the amount of food & perfect serving size for 3 people with a side of fries. HOWEVER unlike the individual oyster servings, they were not on ice with the platter & so their internal temp rose pretty quickly which caused my whole group to feel quite ill shortly after dinner… if you get the platter request the oysters on ice until they permanently change it!
We got the seafood platter with extra oysters. The only issue is the oysters weren't on ice so a couple of us felt a bit sick afterwards so maybe ask for them on ice. Besides that, the rest of the platter was really good & so were the drinks.

Endroit sympathique & conviviale dans un décors de brasserie française. Formule tapas misant sur des classiques. Manque un peu de recherche dans les saveurs & carte de vin un peu simpliste. Demeure une option intéressante dans Verdun.
