    Amazing and delicious food, great ambiance, nice staff however disappointed by my waiter because I had asked for a candle on the dessert, which didn’t happen. This reservation was for a birthday, and I had written it on the reservation but I also asked the waiter in person for this. It’s just disappointing when you take out someone for their birthday and the waiter forgets this important detail.

    Tout est frais et excellent, de l’entrée au dessert, c’est un mélange de saveur incroyable. Table d’hôte-Entrée de Sardines A1, repas palourde et porc très tendre en mijoté…excellent. Dessert au chocolat avec des touches de gelée de fruit et fruits frais et croustillants ajoutés. Je recommande cette belle expérience!!!
