La qualité de la bouffe était beaucoup moindre que notre dernière visite, Le service aussi.
Un peu triste. C'était un de nos restaurants favori avant la pandémie.

Nous avons senti qu'on nous mettait de la pression pour manger rapidement. Peu de temps pour décider, service très rapide entre l'entrée & le repas principal. Mais outre cette remarque, nous sommes toujours très satisfaites de la qualité de la nourriture & de l'ambiance. Nous y retournerons assurément.

Très beau décor. Excellent service. Ambiance agréable. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & avons eu le détail de la composition des plats proposés. C'est important pour l'expérience. Très copieux & la qualité est au rendez-vous. Nous avons adoré & nous recommandons.
Attention le menu dégustation est pour 2 personnes, donc si vous y allez a deux uniquement il faut que l'autre personne le choisisse également. Si vous êtes seul a choisir le menu dégustation, vous ne pourrez pas avoir un tiers des plats proposés.
