I went here for dinner on the recommendation of the proprietor of the vineyard I was staying at. I had a great experience with great food and great wine. I had a bottle of a Santenay premier cru from next to the vineyard of one I have had and enjoyed at home, and it was exquisite.

We waited 45 minutes for our cold dishes. Dessert sounded great but tasted of little. My partners dish of cold cuts and cheeses from famous Hess shop was not at the quality of that shop. No pickles or condiments. Bland green salad. We paid 98 euro for two to include only one...
