"The restaurant claims a high gastronomic level. First impression, the restaurant room does not offer a warm and friendfull ambiance. It 's a small room with bright light, no real intimity. The menu is fair . Some originality, some attractive plates but the majority is dull. The presentation of the plates is perfect, no doubt. However, once I taste, again, the same irregularity. Tried the salmon sprayed with Lagavulin Wiskey. The salmon itself was perfect and the mixt with the Lagavulin is a great creation. However, it is covered with black puffs soufflés totally tasteless. Strange. The unacceptable occurred during the main course: sweetbread with taggliatelles. The taggliatelles where overcooked!!! Though about sending them back in cuisine but having a diner with other guests, I didn 't feel like delaying the event. This should never happen in a gastronomic restaurant. For the wine, we chose a Margaux second cru . But it was suprisingly served too cold! We had to have it served in our glasses and wait 15-20 minutes for it to chamber in temperature. How can that be??!!!?!? The overall impression is a good restaurant with creation capabilities and potential but the satisfaction is average. The service is perfect with waiters knowledgeable on all plates, available, following all the rules and way of being of the French service. A good point! I sure understand why this restaurant cannot pretend obtaining a Michelin star but definitely encourage the cuisine team to pursue it 's effort.
