AVOID THIS PLACE..TERRIBLE EXPENSIVE!!!Terrible fish, not fresh, extremely expensive...borderline convinced we were scammed. I would not advise anyone to dine here, actually run away very fast.
I am visiting France with in-laws that are from Panama. We know our seafood. We're a group of seven and we sat down by the beach bar and enjoyed drinks for an hour or so. The scenery and atmosphere is great, But in a hour we quickly ran up a bar tab of 180euro. This does include some good scotch but still... this was one of the most expensive bar tabs on our trip, which includes London, Paris and Monaco.
Walking up to the restaurant they had the fresh fish on ice to display the quality of the catch, by the looks of the fish we thought we were in for an amazing meal. We asked for a table but they told us they were full, so they sat us outside on the deck. It was not too cold, so this wasn't a big deal, and we were all alone which was nice. The waiter had very rough english, but he was nice and seemed to try hard to make sure we understood the menu and options without ever really clarifying the price. He brought the fresh catch out to us to show us, we narrowed it down to 2 John Dory and what looked like a 3-4 lb Seabreem to feed the 7 of us. Both excellent looking fish and being so fresh we had high expectations. They again came out, showed us the caught fish (the John Dory had the golden yellow showing it was fresh) we chose on platters and came back 30 mins later to show us the whole fish as cooked. Shortly after, the dishes started arriving and they brought only 6 plates for the seven of us. By the looks of the size of fillet's on the plates it already seemed to me something was wrong as it did not look anywhere near the amount of fish I expected. After the first bites we all kind of looked at each other and said the same thing, it was below average, not fresh, somewhat dry and had no flavor. We all knew something was wrong, but being tourist and unsure, we were polite and finished dining. All the while and after much thought I was convinced this was a classic bait and switch and whatever fish we were served was not what was presented.
The grand finale was the final bill.... 587 euros. The most we have paid for dinner anywhere on our entire trip. And this was by far the...

TrĂšs mauvaise expĂ©rience Ă la mi aoĂ»t, ayant rĂ©servĂ© 8 transats pour la journĂ©e via notre appli Groupon, Ă une date et heure prĂ©cise (bien indiquĂ© « non modifiable » sur le site), aprĂšs une heure de route avec des enfants et un bĂ©bĂ©, nous sommes arrivĂ©s sur place et la plage Ă©tait complĂšte. Le responsable des lieux, un homme trĂšs imbu de sa personne, sachant trop bien nous montrer quâil avait dĂ©jĂ assez du chiffre dâaffaire quâil Ă©tait en train de rĂ©aliser pour nous donner la moindre importance, nous a reçu de la façon la plus exĂ©crable qui soit. Sans nous apporter aucune solution, ni dĂ©dommagement, il nous a simplement signifiĂ© que « câĂ©tait une mauvaise idĂ©e de passer par Groupon », pourtant une enseigne connue pour ĂȘtre sĂ©rieuse et Ă laquelle il confie les rĂ©servations de sa plage... Ce monsieur nous a laissĂ© sur le bord de la route en nous disant quâil nây connaissait rien et ne pouvait rien faire pour nous. AprĂšs nous avoir vaguement griffonnĂ© sa signature sur lâun des deals que nous avions imprimĂ©s avec la mention « complet », monsieur sâest courageusement rĂ©fugiĂ© Ă lâintĂ©rieur en nous envoyant le personnel de sĂ©curitĂ© (oui le courage dâun homme se lit souvent par ses actes de bravoure) AprĂšs une heure de nĂ©gociation face Ă un sourd, puis Ă un agent de sĂ©curitĂ© qui ne pouvait rien faire pour nous, une jeune femme sâest finalement prĂ©sentĂ©e, faisant preuve de bien plus dâempathie. Elle a notĂ© les numĂ©ros de nos deals pour les «transmettre au service commercial qui rĂ©gularisera la situation sous 7jours » Elle nous a finalement fait entrer pour nous offrir une boisson Ă chacun, et nous avons pu profiter quelque peu de lâendroit dans des conditions bien moins confortables que celles pour lesquelles nous Ă©tions venus. RĂ©sultat des courses: deux semaines aprĂšs, le service commercial est Ă lâimage du responsable de lâendroit... inexistant des quâil sâagit dâĂȘtre efficace. Jâai dâailleurs lu les prĂ©cĂ©dents avis sur cet endroit (chose que jâaurais du faire plus tĂŽt) et la plupart mettent en avant le manque de professionnalisme pour un lieu qui se dit dâaccueil clientĂšle. Je pense que les bases du mĂ©tier sont Ă revoir concernant le relationnel client. Je ne recommande donc absolument pas cet endroit et je ne risque pas dây remettre les pieds un jour. Je conseille Ă quiconque ayant un minimum de jugeote dâen...

Pros: fresh seafood beautiful atmosphere with a view of the sea excellent service (the staff made a real effort to explain everything despite our very limited french language skills)
The place was recommended to us by colleagues from work and we went there multiple times during our stay at the cĂŽte d'azur. Each day they present the catch of the day on a platter from which you can choose the fish other seafood you like. We tried lobster and gilthead, both of which tasted deliciously. They also have an excellent and daily varying selection of home made deserts. Prices are high but adequate compared to the quality of food, service and atmosphere! Vegetarian choices were...
