L'Oxalis by Clive Joyce — Restaurant in Nîmes

Although the restaurant is highly rated, our experience was quite the opposite. We arrived on time for our 7:30 reservation, but the arrival of a group of 4 diners a few seconds earlier seems to have thrown everyone into a tizzy. The waiter's behavior was rather bizarre, first arriving to explain a few things on the menu, then running away saying he couldn't take our order yet. In all, we waited over 40 minutes just to have our order taken, and the restaurant was barely half full. So that took away one star.

But the real problem was the chef, who spent the entire 2 and a half hours of our dinner yelling and cursing in the kitchen, loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear, and at whom or why I do not know, but my French is good enough to recognize a few curse words... That truly spoiled the dinner and would have been reason enough to rate this one star. However, in their defense, the food was quite good, despite everything else. But until the chef learns to handle his own ego and anger issues, I cannot recommend...

Great place, very nice atmosphere, in what it seems like an old wine cellar. The service could be a bit better, with the waitress not keeping track of when to serve whom, resulting in some people waiting very long and some people that were helped immediately. Other than that, she was very nice and really friendly. The food looks outstanding. Very well presented, like a work of art. The taste of the ingredients individually is very fresh and vibrant. However, not always well matched. For example, the tuna/salmon starter had an overwhelming citrus taste which takes away from the amazing fish itself. Price/quality wise an...

Vous serez surpris sans doute de mon commentaire mais il a le mérite d'être le mien et de part tous mes posts en tant que guide Google à vous de voir.. tout le monde en faisait des caisses alors nous avons tenté. Très très déçus deja d'être ds un premier temps attablés ds le patio ou 3 tables etaient avec des fumeurs..c'était l'horreur, et surtout un manque de savoir vivre des personnes atablées sachant qu'il n'y avait pas d'aération à part l'entrée par laquelle nous sommes arrivés. Nous avo.s demandé a changer de places, ce qui a ete fait sans probleme. Les plats sont somme toutes recherchés, à priori avec un chef qui a bp voyagé mais honnêtement c'est trop fouillis, peu généreux (+6 euros de suppl pour une malheureuse minuscule tranche de foie gras )et trop pompeux sur la carte par rapport à l'assiette. Les verres de vin sont gravés pour ne surtout pas depasser la dose ...pfft c'est très mesquin ! Chacun doit pouvoir se faire une idée..mais au moins on ne pourra pas dire que je n'avais pas prévenu. Desolee je n'ai même pas de photos à mettre tellement nous n'avons pas aimer...
