J'adore la cuisine, le site, l'ambiance... mais ca fait plusieurs fois que je vais manger pour le dîner & le service est beaucoup trop long. Notre dîner d'affaire c'est étiré sur 2h45 ! J'ai même dû payer un supplément de stationnement puisque le service au table était trop long.
Merci

Only went here at lunchtime because our first choice was unexpectedly closed due to electrical problems. We were expecting a tourist rip-off scenario since it has beautiful river views & is right next to the cruise ship landing zone. Quite the opposite turned out to be the case - it appears to be overlooked by visitors heading straight for the old city tours & the prices are reasonable, not inflated. Best of all, everything we tried, both food & drink, was prepared & served with care & attention to detail, down to the side salads. In fact it was so good that we dispensed with the idea of trying to find a different place for dinner on our one full day in town & returned later that evening. Not 'destination dining' perhaps but a kitchen capable of turning out a perfectly composed & prepared liver with pearl onions, parsnips, celery root, baby carrot & sweet potato with individual flavors intact. Note, we visited on a Thursday & it was pretty full at dinnertime (luckily we had reservations) so the experience could be different on weekends, we don't know.

Excellent brunch avec une surprise: nous fêtions un anniversaire & la merveilleuse serveuse nous a apporté un petit gâteau avec une chandelle! A part le niveau sonore un peu élevé, tout était parfait.
