Service agréable & respectueux. Assiettes de smoke meat délicieuses, pas trop grasses. Bravo à Yoan pour sa Sangria blanche avec argousiers! On y retourne, c'est sûr. Marie & Louise

Il faut l'avouer... ce resto est une 'trappe à touristes'. Mais je dois aussi avouer que ce resto offre tout de même une qualité de nourriture acceptable. C'est le genre de resto pour un lunch sans grande attente culianire... à part une addition très salée.

- Leur terrasse & l'ambiance sont parfaites ;
- La nourriture est seulement okay ;
- Les prix sont évidemment très élevés à cause de l'emplacement privilégié du resto... & on l'accepte ;
- Le service est à chier, indifférent & trop pressé (comme si c'est le temps pour vous de partir pour laisser la table à un autre). Mais le serveur vous apporte l'addition avec un grand sourire & un gros merci ! Ce genre de service ne mérite rien au-dessus de 13% (ce que j'ai laissé). Un 8% aurait tout aussi fait l'affaire !
