What a gem! Ambiance and decor very inviting, not cluttered, tastefully designed. Lighting was good. Initial greeting was not so warm but our server for the night, Patricia was warm, friendly, made amazing recommendations, was very knowledgeable about the menu and followed up on the meal, but was in no way intrusive. Ordered a veal tartar to start and then cod and veal ribs. The flavors of everything were individual, specifically and tasty. The grilled peppers with the veal ribs are now my favorite. Very good food, great service and would easily recommend. Reservations are preferable on Friday and Saturday as it fills up quickly. One of the top three meals...

wonderful location (close to the sea side); excellent interior atmosphere; very clean; outreageous dishes with a unique combination of spices; fair prices; very welcoming and excellent service (the credits go to the "chef de la maison" & the team in the kitchen); however there is one lady (service / counter) who is not giving any welcoming sign. Really unpolite and for us a reason not to go here anymore. really too bad since the rest of everything pas a 5 star plus !!! // visit on Thursday evening...
