La nourriture était bonne mis à part la crème brulée qui n'en était pas une. Nous avons eu une mauvaise expérience au restaurant par rapport a notre serveur qui ne nous a jamais sourit & qui regardait au loin dans le vide en nous parlant. Il a été plutot insultant lorsqu'il a dit a ma copine "Il en reste encore dans votre assiette" quand elle lui avait pourtant dit qu'elle avait terminé de manger. L'expérience avait pourtant bien commencé avec les musiciens & la belle ambiance mais ce serveur a gâcher notre expérience.
