U Stagnu — Restaurant in Sartène

I have very mixed feelings about this place, but simply because of the share size of portions I have to give it at least 4 stars instead of 3 that I wanted to leave initially. The good: food is tasty, I thought portions will be small as the restaurant seemed a bit posh, but we actually took foie gras, as a snack and then left 1/3 of one dish and half of the other main dish untouched, as it was simply too much. Foie gras and gniocchi with veu were very good and tasty. The bad: I ordered medium entrecote, but initially got rare. It was quickly fixed, but then part of it was well done in my opinion. I think entrecote was missing some salt/pepper, as the sauce with it was super salty and fries were super salty as well, so I guess people in Corsica dip their entrecote in a sauce to add flavour? I normally eat meat by itself and it should have enough flavour, so this one was a bit lacking, but the quality of the meat was very good. The worst part was bill - they added additional champagne to our our bill, which was fixed when we pointed it out, but it felt like it was on purpose, because we did not speak French. The other thing which we did not even question was the glass of wine for 7 Eur + 3.5 Eur for "superior" something, when my wife ordered just a simple glass of white wine. I understand that not all waiters spoke English, but things like that should be asked in advance, so service is definitely something to improve.

EDIT: well that's even worse then, because we did not order any water, nor did we got served any water. The way bill looked and 3.5 Eur being pushed to the right compared to all other items (like on purpose), it seemed like it was addition...

The ambiance in the evening is truly lovely. The service, however, was a bit hit-or-miss. The staff were friendly and tried their best, but our starter was completely forgotten, and the main courses arrived before we had a chance to mention it. The sole lived up to expectations—delicious and highly recommended—as were the chicken thighs. Unfortunately, the traditional wild boar Tianu was a letdown. The meat was somewhat dry, the potatoes tasted stale, and the sauce was overwhelmingly tomato-heavy. The desserts, especially the vanilla crème brûlée, were excellent and ended the meal on a high note. All in all, it was a lovely evening, with the exception of the disappointing...

Really nice place, food is good and great view. The service of the staff however is really poor. No experience, they don’t (want) to speak English. The dish of my daughter was forgotten so I needed to ask for it again (had to walk up to them as they do not pay attention to their guests). Came 20 min later. We son asked for medium rare steak, but it wasn’t. Asking for desert took a while just like the bill. So, a place with potential but they really need to educate their staff. I’m normally quite relaxed but this was below...
