"We had booked online the same day and the table was later confirmed. We had read good things and were not disappointed. Service was not at all slow, as another reviewer mentioned. We were given lots of help with our choice of a white wine aperitif and the white wine to accompany the meal. Both very good and reasonably priced. While making our choices from the Vauban menu (39 euros) an amuse bouche arrived to tempt us, which it did! We chose foie gras pate and a tomato dish with basil sorbet, both dishes having excellent flavours. Before these starters arrived there was another amuse bouche of seafood in a red pepper dip, again very tasty. Also lovely bread rolls with a lime infused butter, which was really nice. More rolls arrived during the starter.. We were unaware of any delay between courses, certainly only enough to enjoy one another's company. For main course I had the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and served with clams and some diced vegetables, very good flavour. John had the duck which he had pink and enjoyed very much. Then we had a pre dessert dessert, which was a rich cherry, cream and chocolate combination leaving me with a black forest gateaux flavour, excellent. We had both chosen the lime souffle with margarita sorbet, it was fantastic! Loved it, want to know how to make it:-). We did not have coffee, but saw others who did received petit fours with the drinks. We were very full from 2 desserts already. We also had a bottle of sparkling water. The Maitre'd was very helpful with wine and menu choices and translation, merci Madame. The waiters were friendly and very efficient! Total cost 126 euros, well worth it for a superb meal and wine, including pre dinner drinks."
