Such a shame that I visited on a very wet, dull, rainy day as it was only when I went on the boat trip later, that I realised the restaurant terrace overlooked the river. Lovely on a sunny day no doubt. The restaurant was very busy, the main room nearest the terrace had a very large table full of people, presumable a family or group booking. There was space for moi seule in a side room whose window faced onto the street. Not ideal as a single diner, as there were two two person tables and again, a large group round one large table so I was billy no mates. (Not unusual ;-) ).||Despite how busy the place was, I didnt have to wait long to either put in my order or receive it. I had a steak, seemed to be of the "feathered" variety which is not something we have in England, served with a "sauce" of foie gras, with carrots and potatoes. I forgot about the French steak cooking so I wasnt surprised to get a steak a little underdone by my usual standards, but it was good and I only left a tiny bit. It was surprisingly large too, and for the money I paid, 18 euros including tip, I thought was excellent value.||The restaurant doesnt score my points on decor, it is rather outdated in style but the food and bonhommie is what's most important. Would recommend for the food and convenient location, and terrace if your weather is appropriate. This review only relates to...

Read moreNot good for me. We also made what is obviously the huge insult of sitting at a table, before being asked. The lady gave us a dressing down in English after realising that was our Nationality. There was only one other visible customer and I had avoided tables with reserved signs. Once I realized I was being rudely insulted, I decided to leave. If sitting before being asked is so important, then perhaps some signage would stop the terrible practice and prevent the Lady from being so affronted. No doubt I will receive the same set of insults that any other negative feedback has received. I can't wait!
Added next day after the owner reply. Sure enough, I new that the curt reply would be coming. Obviously during your time spent living in the UK, you never came across the saying that 'The customer is always right'. I am afraid that I haven't changed my opinion that in my opinion, you were rude which is why I left your establishment, and you certainly do not accept...
