Restaurant At'able! — Restaurant in Chinon

A disappointment unfortunately. We took the signature $32 euro menu each plus drinks ($108 euros total). The positives: lovely location, ample paid parking. Some portions of food were enormous (too much so?).

After some forthright discussions she eventually removed the item from the bill. This episode somewhat spoilt my 75th birthday celebration and my wife was really upset by the experience. Otherwise all the rest of the meal was excellent and the charming, efficient and friendly Cambodian? waitress really made the evening less of a disappointment. We will certainly return to the restaurant as we feel this was just a small blot on an otherwise excellent restaurant. Mr &...
