Reserved a table for 7.30pm (as it's a 50 min drive) in the 'Gastronomique' part of this restaurant which has a Michelin Star. Arrived slightly late at 7.40pm, entered the restaurant and no one to be seen, waited 5 mins then walked around to the Auberge part of the restaurant which was in darkness so back to our first entry point. It's now 7.50pm and so called out 'Bonjour' no response, so ended up knocking on the kitchen door to find someone....to be greeted by 'we don't open until 8pm' ..... so why take our reservation for 7.30pm then ?Seated by the rather frosty female, we ordered an apéritif which took 10 mins to arrive, along with the menu & wine list. The menu, if you can call it that, is headed by a list of ingredients which are seasonal and could be featured in the dishes. There is no al la carte (which is fine) but just three separately priced menu titles but none saying either how many courses are included or what any of the dishes are. We opted for the Découvert menu at 47€ and, having eaten in many similar restaurants both in France and worldwide, expected the main component of the menu to include starter-fish-main-dessert (in addition to the amusé, etc)Ordered a bottle of red wine, five mins later told it's not available and so a much heavier & more expensive red was brought to the table (granted, offered to us at the price of our original choice).It was nearly 8.30pm before the amusé bouche arrived and thereafter the gap between courses was nearly 30 mins....you don't mind waiting if the staff are warm & engaging, but to sit with dirty plates in front of you, to have to ask to be topped up with water and never see as much as a smile from the staff the whole evening...makes the time gap seem even worse. So starter come and gone, fish course eaten & cleared, now looking forward to perhaps the veal or bœuf...no, it's dessert that arrives! We ask the lady who first greeted us (we assume the chef's wife or partner) is there not a main course, to be told it was the fish dish...we asked why if that was the main dish of the meal did she not say when ordering the wine so we could have made a better choice, to which she said she does not know at that point if the chef has decided on meat or fish for the main course!!! How utterly pretentious and ridiculous.We ate our dessert and asked for the bill. When it arrived we ask the same lady if it was normal to serve only three courses and, on being told yes, suggested tho her that it was very poor value for money which attracted no response. The food we ate was delicious. However, if three courses is what's included in the Découvert option, it should be clearly stated on the menu; the staff should then say 'tonight's dishes are X, Y, Z' so you can choose a wine; whether the main course is fish or meat, the portion size needs to reflect that it is the main course - not, as we experienced, a piece of fish the size you normally have as just the intermediate fish course itself. Extremely poor value for money, poor service and long gaps between courses, and a ridiculous way of presenting the menu leads to my poor rating. Will neither return no recommend.As a post script, I have just visited their website on April 10th and it is still promoting their February Valentines' dinner.....perhaps rather indicative of how they run their business.
