Was a bit dilemma before coming to this restaurant due to the extreme of good and bad comments. In fact a bit beyond expectation after coming. Food - Chilled seafood is good, not particularly impressive though (more a typical tourist choice). The big surprise is the chef's recommendations of the day. Sooooo delicious! We have ordered three and I would dare say each of them is comparable or even better than many fine dining seafood restaurant. Bravo to the cooking team! Service - Honestly I feel it is normal restaurant service and not bad. Waitors are not rude at all! Given the amount of customers in and out, one shouldn't expect that they give treat you with those fake polite greetings and smiles as in some other countries or less busy restaurants. I guess they won't have the patient to wait for someone who needs 15 mins (or more) to decide what they want to eat. The waitor serving us is good. I was thinking whether 100g of grey shrimps will be sufficient or not, he (without any facial expression) said that no need to order more, enough for us, and it later proved that he was right ! Atmostphere - the atmostphere is not the best as it is very busy and quite packed for a typical restaurant in France. Yet one should not complain too much as the food is really good and value for money.

This place was recommended to us by our tour guide. He said it's a little pricey but the seafood is good. There were only English speakers in the restaurant, and service really was as french as they say in the reviews. The waiter threw a plate at a kid and it broke into pieces when it hit the floor. Hey but we got our order rather quickly given how full the restaurant was and how few waitstaff they had. The table next to us got ice cream in a chicken and they said theyve been coming here for years. Our seafood plate was wonderful the big whelks, tiny rose shrimps were good. The oyster were alright, shrimp tasted a little bleachy. But all in all very tasty. The fish soup was a good alternative to the boulabaise and it was so warm and filling on a cold day like today (13.5€). Fries (4.5€) were well portioned and actually very very good. Loved our lunch here. next time we will try a different seafood plate. We got the fine oysters no. 1 plate (41€) and was quite satisfied.

The worst restaurant you can ever find in Nice. I ordered two different dishes, but one of them was incorrect. When I informed the first waiter, he kept explaining the wrong dish rather than fixing the issue. I had to talk to two more staff members before the third finally removed the wrong meal. Meanwhile, I watched other tables, who arrived after me, finish their meals and leave before I received the correct dish. The worst part happened when it came time to pay. I was given a bill for €35, but when I went to pay using Apple Pay, the staff didn’t show me the card machine before I tapped. After paying, I requested the receipt, only to see that I had been charged €53 instead of €35. The waiter who handled the payment walked away right after handing me the receipt, and I had to wait yet again to get the issue resolved. When they finally returned, they refused to refund the overcharge to my card or cancel the transaction so I could pay the correct amount. They only offered to give me the difference in cash. By this point, I had completely lost trust in the restaurant and asked them to cancel the card transaction so I could pay with another method. Instead of resolving the issue, the manager came out, raised his voice, and questioned my English abilities in a condescending manner (For a little context, I’m Asian but born and raised in English speaking country. So I’m not sure how much better my English needed to be for him to have a convo with me lol) Not only was the situation handled poorly, but the lack of respect and professionalism was shocking. No one acknowledged their mistake, nor did they apologize it felt like a deliberate scam. If you are an Asian woman traveling alone, DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. You can easily find similar food quality in Nice with much better service. I understand that customer service standards vary, but this was pure disrespect.

Oyster is unusually salty, shrimps and other shellfish not particularly fresh and propertly cleaned. Service is poor to say the least. The waiter is racist. The only "merci" was said to me after I paid the bill. While the waiter showed no smile or used no "sir" or "thank you" in French or English with me except for the once I paid the bill, he certainly was in a better mood when waitering other local or white people. Because each of us only had a small plate for a platter of mixes oyster, shrimp and other shellfish, I was not sure if the plate was big enough for the empty shells so I put an oyster shell on the menu on the table. The waiter came to me unexpectedly and whisptered to me, saying it is not ok to put shells on the table "in France", asking me to put it my plate. It was as if I came from some place lesser than France. I did not find it offensive until I saw the people on the table next to me had a table full of shells, talking proudly in French.

非常差的一次体验，生蚝有两个是完全臭了的，虾和贝壳类根本就不新鲜. 我将它包在了纸里，在被要求展示后，这家店依然没有任何补救措施，店员态度蛮横. 鉴于管理者给我的评论.我想说的是我们本次来法国旅游在巴黎和里昂都见识了优秀的餐厅提供的出品食品和厨师的严谨的品质，所以我们不会因为一家尼斯的种族主义歧视亚洲人的餐厅而对整个法国产生误解. 我作为一个该餐厅管理者口中的耻辱者，我有必要再描述一下细节. 1. 纸巾中可以明显看出有生蚝肉，当我咀嚼生蚝时，它尝起来已经有一阵恶臭，作为一名生蚝爱好者，我很负责的说它已经坏掉了，所以我将坏掉的生蚝吐出用纸巾包裹住，你看不到完整的生蚝是因为咀嚼过，而且纸巾吸收了它的水份，这盘生蚝有2个是完全不能吃的. 2.对于你和服务员十分蛮狠的态度，（她甚至把账单丢在桌子上）我出于个人人身安全考虑，完全有理由不跟你去参观所谓的新鲜产品. 此外，你能完全保证参观的生蚝和我在桌上吃到臭了的生蚝是一种吗？又怎么证明？3.我本想在反馈后以沟通的方式解决问题，部分证据在盘子里，而我在反应问题后却被服务员迅速的收走了所有盘子？ 4.关于生蚝臭掉的问题，你作为管理者因为去找你的供应商从源头解决问题，而不是跟你的顾客争论. -一个耻辱者的评论 A very bad experience, two of the oysters were completely stinky, and the shrimp and shells were not fresh at all. I wrapped it in paper, and after being asked to show it, the shop still did nothing to remedy it, and the staff were rude. In light of the comments the manager gave me. What I would like to say is that we have seen excellent restaurants in Paris and Lyon and the quality of the food and the quality of the chefs, so we will not misunderstand the whole of France just because a racist restaurant in Nice discriminates against Asians. As a person who has been called a disgrace by the management of this restaurant, I need to go into details. You can definitely see the raw oyster in the tissue, and when I chew on the oyster, it already smells like a stench, and as an oyster lover, I'm very responsible to say that it's gone bad, so I spit out the bad oyster and wrap it in a tissue, and you can't see the whole oyster because you chew it and the tissue absorbs the moisture, Two of the oysters in this plate are completely inedible. For your and the waiter's very cruel attitude (she even dropped the bill on the table), I have every reason not to visit the so-called fresh products with you for personal safety reasons. Also, can you fully guarantee that the oysters you visited were the same as the ones I ate on the table? And how do you prove it? 3. I intended to solve the problem through communication after feedback, and part of the evidence was on the plate, but the waiter quickly took away all the plates after I responded to the problem. 4. Regarding the problem of oyster odor, you as a manager should go to your supplier to solve the problem at the source, instead of arguing with your customer. - a shame comment
