"This restaurant was recommended to me by the hotel I stayed at (a five star hotel). I asked for a recommendation on really good seafood restaurant with good wine selection. I also told the concierge that I don't mind paying but I want to avoid touristy restaurant.Overall, I would have really liked this restaurant if it weren't for the too much salt in my food that night. Here are the good points of this restaurant:Location - especially when you're staying at the port area, this restaurant can be pretty convenient. it is also literally by the port so at night, the view of the water and boats are really nice.Good wine - I'm not a picky wine drinker but I do love a good wine. I asked the waiter to choose a good white wine for me and it was excellent. Price - For me, price was reasonable. I got the 3-course menu and it was around EUR 40. I think that's a fair price. Service - the staff were very nice and attentive. Now here's why my rating went down to average despite the good points - the food. As a first course, I had risotto with mushroom and asparagus. The risotto was way too salty. I honestly should have returned it but I thought "it's okay, the main course is coming". For the main course, I had the fried scallops alla provençale (it was basically just fried scallops with marinara sauce). The scallops were seasoned good but I was disappointed on the texture a bit (not bad but it's far from the best scallops I've had). The biggest issue was the marinara sauce - the taste of the anchovies overpowered the sauce (and I love anchovies) plus they put a lot of salt too on top of anchovies. Good thing they served rice as a side; therefore, I brushed off the marinara sauce and ate the scallops with a lot of rice. The only redeeming food was the dessert (well, a little). I had the fondant au chocolat (which is my automatic dessert). It was very well done but for me, the simplest can be the best way to do it, just like the ice cream pairing with fondant au chocolat. I know it is becoming a thing where restaurants fancy things up by pairing it with some fancy ice cream. For me, vanilla ice cream is the perfect pair for fondant au chocolat and that should be enough."

Well ... First the service is great . You can't complain . The food is various but the best option is to choose the menu (starter , main and dessert ) . Price like 40 - 50 € but worth it .
Bernard
the level is above the surrounding restaurants. small menu choice offering quality eating experience.Enough waiters to ensure speedy service. Interior a little bit chicky micky, lovely.I hear waiters mocking. the tourists in the kitchen, but it doesnt impact the food quality, french waiters just discover the world coming to them :-) Go for it!

Nice Staff. Lovely location. We had bouillabaisse cost price 68 euro per person. The fishe was ok but the soup was really owfull. No taste what so ever. It was like some extract of old fish without adding some flavour. It was disappointing specially for that price. I really do not recommed the bouillabaisse. It was the first and the last time we visited this restaurant. We Come every summer to Cannes. There are much beter places to eat good for the same price. Again dissapointed. View menu
Oretta
A beautiful restaurant besides the Marina and old town Cannes. Clearly a frequent choice of the local jet-set. Ambience and decor is excellent. Food is good. The wine list is limited. Service is unfriendly and brusque. I did not feel welcome or of value and it occurred to me the owners regarded it as a privilege to eat at their restaurant. Egotistical and arrogant in my experience and not worth subjecting oneself to, when there are many many other more compelling choices in Cannes at which I felt more valued and more welcome.
Nicoletta
Great restaurant set on the harbour front in the old town. Ask (or reserve) a table inside rather than on the outside pavement to avoid the smokers and the gawpers. Food was excellent - the staff will provide an English menu if needed - and the maitre d' will personally take your order and provide any recommendations or suggestions. Dover sole was beautifully cooked, presented and then expertly filleted and served. Lobster was equally presented. Puddings were enormous - go for the raspberries and macaroon (which also comes with ice-cream and more berries on the side) and it will be more than sufficient for two people. Total bill with wine was under 250 euros - but if you're going to price up...
