"meal reserved for our thirty-five years of marriage. the menu of the day does not correspond to the one that was offered on the site where one could expect a turn of spring vegetables and a piece of farmer calf. At the time of booking, I had clearly specified no seafood because my wife is allergic, we found ourselves at the entrance with a salad of asparagus and pasta. with lobster! Very nicely the chief made a lobster-free plate for my sweet. As for the calf, he turned into a poultry. it is true that the cost is not the same! however, the frame is very pleasant and the service is correct. the suitability and good reception are at the meeting. However, it is clear that professionalism is a little limited. This also shows the glass of empty whisky that is on the table throughout the meal after the aperitif. We can go through it because everyone's trying to do the best but it's a little fair. another detail: the salt is empty. I'm asking for another. It's empty too! We had to sigh a third. This is the kind of breach, maybe anodin, but it declasses the service. And who bores the client. The worst is timing: it took three hours to send three dishes! It's too much, especially since we asked to eat a dessert against a cheese plate (which was also worth € if you would like in addition to the three-course menu.) so I may have fallen bad or my requirements of the former head of a hotel school may be non-measured but frankly, for me the value for money is not at the meeting. it is quite rare that I write a mid-integration exam like this, but I think it can help management progress. this beautiful establishment certainly deserves it!"

"We didn't realise that that this restaurant had a 'carte' because the menus posted outside are only set menus with a bare minimum of detail. Once we found out that the 'fish of the day' was sole, we decided to try it - and then, when we sat down, we discovered the carte, an interesting (but not extensive) range of dishes. We decided not to have the buffet of starters - they didn't look all that appetising, although there were both hot and cold dishes, including meatballs, sausages, a potato dish (Dauphinoise?) and some salads. Instead, I opted for their snail casserole as a starter - which was devilishly hot thanks to the chilli: a very different take on snails which I'm not too sure I liked. On another occasion I had a half-lobster which came with 3 langoustine - and that was a good starter. My partner had a starter of chicken with coleslaw (yes, real coleslaw!) and, on our second visit, a tomato and mozzarella salad.For one main course I had a cote de boeuf - one of the best I have tasted in Cotignac - cooked to order and extremely tasty. On my second visit, I had gambas - which, of course, I had to peel myself, getting extremely messy hands in the effort but I wasn't offered a bowl of water and towel to clean them.My partner had the sole fillet on both occasions and was very happy with it.The puddings were very tasty and the wine list reasonable.All in all, a couple of good meals. However, it's clear that neither le patron nor the waitress are experienced front of house people which means that the restaurant has an amateur feel - sad, this, because I think it (and the diners) deserve better.The position of the main part of the restaurant (on a balcony overlooking the car park) isn't ideal - I think I would have preferred to eat in the courtyard below, which is beautifully decorated and much quieter.Worth a visit, though."
