"We almost did not go due to the mixed reviews but it was a miserable night with the rain coming down plus we like fish and seafood and our hotel was only round the corner. We are so pleased we did although the external look was not good as the rustic look as never been in with me. Inside it was different, warm with a fire going, very comfortable chairs with good sized tables and not to close together. The staff were excellent, helpful without being over attentive, it was seafood and fish heaven, I broke out with a good pork terrine (then got surprised that the amuse bouche was a fish terrine) my wife, as ever, hit the high notes with a brilliant thai marinaded fish salad and then a fusion spicy merlan. Both were outstanding as was my less off the wall merlu. Good selection of wines with the house recommendation shown in red which we followed - you can never tell whether they have too many or truly think it is great value - anyway a nice wine at reasonable cost. We thought the food and wine was very good value for the quality offered, we would not only go here again but will go to big brother next time we are in La Rochelle. A little suggestion I would like to see restaurants offering the local wines as their lower cost house wines now they have improved so much. This does not detract from an excellent restaurant."

"As many reviews comment, this place is very expensive for what it is. We had a good meal, especially good food, but not this special. At €192 with only 2 glasses of wine it was about 50% more than most comparable meals we had. The ambience is missing. A tiny round table, the style chairs of the director who were too high and put too much pressure on the back of the thighs. No beautiful nibbles with our aperitif (only a few olives, no **** en bouche, none of the touches you would expect at even 2/3 of these prize winners. Eat a little decorated; smoked salmon came with a few cold Bonis and a Dill dimmer. Oyster good, but nothing special. St Pierre was very good, but is only the fish veg and potatoes extra and the choice was “Roast” (Grenville, really or purée potatoes, spinach (intens part and sucrine (letter! for €4 per serving). Lamb hack excellent, but no veg with him, and it's not really with salad... St Marcellin (view from the fridge the only cheese option, and a chocolate mousse dish that was delicious but uninteresting. Bottles of wine ludfully expensive. We had a bottle of beer, a glass of white Bergerac, a glass (very beautiful Bordeaux, Carafe water, total cost 30 €. Will we go back to St Martin next time? Probably not. But it was a much better experience than L’Avant Port where we had a rather fraudulent review 4 years ago; we had thought we would give him another attempt, but after the last reviews, it has not improved."
