A disappointing evening especially for our only one away from the kids. We had walked past this restaurant a few times and noted the delicious looking food and lovely setting away from the busy port. So we came back and enjoyed some oysters and very nice wine to start. But that was the only good part of the evening. The service was terrible. After being told there were no tables we pointed out a free one and got seated. Two of us ordered steaks à point and, perhaps a misunderstanding as the waitress preferred to reply in basic English even though one of our party is a fluent french teacher, but two well overcooked steaks arrived. The patron was called and told us those steaks were à point see picture, there was no pink in sight. The meat was too tough to eat and we received no apology, so we settled up and left. Sometimes mistakes happen but the way we were spoken to and the way the situation was handled was not professional. I see similar reviews on here and one from last night too. Though there are plenty of positive ones, so perhaps they don 't like tourists. it seems there is one rule for locals and another for tourists

Wow, what a response and you have the audacity to tell us we are not tellong the truth...... so my French speaking 44 year old wife doesn 't know how to order her food and with a credit card receipt you are now telling me we paid €20 less than we did. What a first class fool you are. Food service started at 7, we arrived at 6.30. Ordered a prosecco and limoncello spritzer both were flat. Food ordered at 7, prawns, olive tapanade and a cheese and meat plate, two were served and we had to go inside and ask for the third. When our mains came my wife 's medium to rare steak was cremated and the fries were old and looked like the scraps. My sea bass was a similar size to a gold fish, but tasty. If the service is good and the atmosphere is pleasant you can sometimes excuse the food but not here. When my wife mentioned our disappointment the manager/owner he could not care less. €165 later I could not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The restaurant Bistrot du Marin just a 100 yards away offered everything: great food, service, atmosphere and fabulous house wine for €110.

Having not been able to get back to this restaurant since 2019 you always wonder if it will live up to your memories. Well it did and surpassed them. The cheese selection is simply exceptional. It's a lovely place up away from the bustle of the harbour. The melon, jamon and buratta salad was so fresh and the wine that was helped chosen quite delicious.Service was friendly and professional. Looking forward to returning soon. Merci

Nice but exceptional outdoor place for service. More than an hour waiting for the dishes, fortunately we intercepted a server after 45 minutes because the dishes were not launched. The dishes were good but a shame that the follow-up of the tables did not follow. Addition salted without any gesture.
