About

Nous avons essayé le menu de groupe pour un anniversaire, c'était très diversifié & nous avons eu droit à de bonnes portions ce qui a été apprécié. Ce fut une belle soirée & une belle découverte.

To begin, we had reserved a table for four & ended up with a very uncomfortable & skinny high-top right by the entrance, sitting on tall stools with no opportunity to put our legs under the table because of a steel horizontal support right at knee height. For five minutes or a quick bite that would have been doable, but for an evening meal lasting about two hours, it was intolerable.
On the other hand, the food was excellent. My wife had the gnocchi, & I had osso bucco with polenta (delicious!), & we also shared some roasted potatoes, which were quite good but too heavy on the butter.
The restaurant was packed full & extremely loud, such that it was difficult to understand what was being said. This was due to all the conversations among the guests & greatly exacerbated by the overly loud music playing on the sound system, which resulted in the guests talking even louder in order to be partially heard over the din. For me, this was very disappointing. I will not return.

Gravlax de saumon & bruschetta de caviar, quenelles de sébaste & carottes nantaises, crudo de thon albacar, bavette de boeuf & kale césar, mousse cheesecake, une explosion de saveur, le tout, accompagnés d'une bonne bière sans alcool Farnham Ale & Lager qui nous a conquis. Un service personnalisé, une ambiance décontractée dans un décor chaleureux, que dire de plus. Merci Vincent.
