La Réserve de Nice — Restaurant in Nice

This was the worst meal me and my company ever experienced! The food and service was absolutely terrible and the prices was very expensive!

Food: The tuna was served with tomato paste (same as for a pizza) and fresh cucumber, radish and tomatoes sticks (strange combination). The fennel and tuna was not fresh! Neither of us who ordered the tuna could finish the dish. The st Pierre fish was not fresh either. The vine was good but they served irritating small portions of wine. They had no vegetarian options on the menue. The bread was tasteless. In general the food had no finess taste wise (instead the chef seamed to try compensate with serving the food in complicated and strange staples and constructions = not a successful concept). They served a extra starting dish with water melon, cream cheese and mint and it was just not good. The scampi starter was ok but far from living up to its price.

Service: The waiter did not know what a vegetarian dish means (!). They forgot to serve bread and water (even though we ordered it). When they finally brought the water they did not poor the water in to the glasses instead they only put the water cans on the table. They spilled vine all over the table. We had to wait for ever to receive the food. The waiters were in general in quite bad mood.

Price: The prices were rediculous for the quality of food!

Location: The only thing that was good was the location. The restaurant has a beautiful view over the water and Nice.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, especially since it was a special occasion—my birthday. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected. Firstly, despite reserving a table a week in advance and specifically requesting to sit outside, we were told upon arrival that it wasn't possible. This was a major letdown, especially since it was clearly communicated in our reservation. The service was equally disappointing. We had to fill our own water and repeatedly ask the staff to refill our wine glasses. The lack of attentiveness was frustrating and put a damper on the evening. To top it all off, when we received the bill, we found several items listed that we didn't order. When we pointed this out to the waiter, he merely laughed it off as a "small mistake" and made no effort to compensate for the error. The incorrect items added up to over €150, and while the waiter did correct the bill quickly, his dismissive attitude was unprofessional and unacceptable. Overall, this experience was a significant letdown, and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good service or a special...

Spectacular setting overlooking the sea. The cocktails (not a French specialty) were very well made and a rose wine a good value for the price. Some of the food was great (langoustines, sweetbreads, desserts); some was okay (fish, amuse bouches); and some was terrible (lamb two ways with little sides that had been made days or weeks in advance and reheated). Altogether not what one would expect at a Michelin starred restaurant. However, what ruined the experience for us was the waiter asking us if we wanted to leave a tip which was not included in the bill.I asked if the “service “ was and he said yes but not the tip. I said no extra tip and he disappeared to sulk for ten minutes. He finally returned, ran the credit cards and on our way out said Merci pour le tip. In over 60 years of eating in restaurants in France this is the first time I had ever been asked for a tip. It left a bad taste in our mouths and guaranteed we would never return...
