Les sols sont glissants pour les petits mais parfait pour les adultes . La nourriture n'est pas exceptionnelle mais dépanner bien. C'est sympa de boire un verre les photos des dans l'eau quand il fait chaud

We have a great dinner at Cafe du Monde; the food was delicious & the wine list quite extensive & reasonably priced. The only concern was that it appeared to be short-staffed so service was a bit slow.

Beautiful setting & view. Nice & comfortable rooms. But we will not be back given the price/quality ratio.

The low rating comes specifically from:
1. Understaffed. The young lady serving our table was working hard - it was obvious she did her best to serve multiple groups at the same time. Results were: a long wait time for taking our orders, delays in getting more wine, & settling our invoice.
I suspect the kitchen to also be understaffed: it took way too long to get our meal & our desserts.
2. Our food was underwhelming - just OK - except for 2 dishes that were judged to be good (not great). Salad with duck confit was dry & didn't taste much, fish has a strong smell, parmentier had a weird tasting topping, burger & industrial fries were bland.
