Dropped in lunch today. Maigre (fish) in an orange sauce with roast nectarines. Absolutely delicious. Service generally excellent, just a few misses here and there. We will definitely be back.

Sat down for a beef tartar and a few glasses of wine on on a cold and drizzling Sunday afternoon. Food was good and the waitress was friendly and spoke some English.

Fast service with nice staff. Had the burger which was awesome. Fries were soft cooked and lukewarm. Gyoza had been precooked and was not very crisp. Cuttlefish was outstanding. Nice wine selection.

Great location, nice place, good food, good service. Up to a point: My wife had the "strawberry" dessert, which turned out to be an absolute tasteless piece of dry cheesecake? with a few raspberries in it. No response when we complained.

Lovely restaurant with elegant interior and Parisian-style outdoor seating. Varied menu including regional specialties as well as burgers & fries. Foods and dressings are homemade and the salmon tartare is absolutely delicious. Friendly and accommodating staff, even on a full Saturday night. Definitely recommended!

Let's start by mentioning that i love oysters, and that is what i had. (18 of them) Food and service were equally excellent. Only the risotto with Lobster was not up to the same standard (overcooked and quite tasteless) but the rest made up to the 5 stars.
