+ Food was nice, lots of choice in the menus, fresh oysters, attentive service, reasonable prices.
- Only negative point: the dessert (crème de caramel au beurre salé) was quite bland! I expected something amazing...
This is the first negative review I've ever given a restaurant. If you are not French, I would advise that you avoid this restaurant as the staff will probably ignore you. It took them an hour to serve the first course to my wife and I, while other couples who had arrived after us were moving onto their main course. We had to ask for our first course after an hour, with no apology given. The same thing happened for dessert. If everybody was waiting we would have understood as it is high season, but this was not the case. We were the last to leave the restaurant by the end of the night because of this. Food - good. Service - terrible.

Very nice , both traditional and modern restaurant just a few steps from the crowded harbour in a vivid side street.
The food was well prepared and presented , the choice of excellent french vines more than good. We have been there on a pretty busy sunday and we have been served well and superfriendly. Tge prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service. Recommandable

A pretty good restaurant in respect of food, service and price. The set menu is really reasonable and the service both prompt and friendly. Probably the only disappointment food-wise was the carpaccio of beef (pictured), which didn't have much flavour. The prawn pasta, pork fillet, rhum cake and caramel ice cream / mousse were lovely.

Service was a little uneven to start, but got better as the evening went on. We both have from the menu at 35 euros (which was a great value). Portion sizes were good, food was cooked quite well, and the fish from the market was excellent.

I've tried a lot of ceviches as I come from Latin America and this has become one of my favorites. It's different from the classic tropical ceviches but all the ingredients mix perfectly into the creamy avocado sauce👌Also tried the risotto with shrimp and chayote and I do recommend it. They have kids menu. Good and attentive service and good price!

We just got out of the place very angry!!!

It all started when we asked to switch a table because our place was loud and we spotted to other couple tables in a more quiet area. We’ve been turned off coldly with the reason being that the restaurant is full, even though these tables stayed vacant for the rest of our dinner.

Our first dishes became quickly cold and therefore not so tasty. We took the tempura coated calamari with salsa that after few minutes felt like old fries and tomato ketchup. We haven’t finished that one.

The main dish one of us had - the market fish - was served also cold with the skin tasting burned. It was served on noodles that tasted like instant noodles. We barely touched that one.

The service personnel were always busy and avoided eye contact. In both cases our plates were quickly collected from us without inquiring about our liking of them and with again, no eye contact. We didn’t have the chance to tell our comment.

Our deserts were served as the pictures - one of them burned at the top, the other had this bad mint leaf on it.

When we asked to pay we’ve been finally asked about our liking of the food when we finally shared our experience. The poor waiter tried his best with empathizing, but we weren’t offered any thing to make up for our bad experience.

We were paying downstairs at the bar with the owner of the place with which we shared the experience too. Besides telling us she’s sorry and that we should’ve said something on the spot, no compensation was offered. We paid the whole bill.

Worst customer service for a restaurant of that level.

Never returning here again!
