"We entered this restaurant with high expectations as it possesses a Michelin star. We were not disappointed by the food, although service left something to be desired. One can get 4 courses for about 45 EUR or 5 for about 55 EUR (I.e. Both a meat and a fish main course). My mussels were delicious and cooked in an interesting sauce. They were followed by a sort of hotpot of local fishes, cooked in a refined way. After the ubiquitous cheese plate, pudding was an individual apple tart baked with very light crispy pastry. From the descriptions I have given of the dishes, they sound humble enough, but they were in fact done to a high level of confection in accordance with what is expected in a gastronomic restaurant. However, the service was somewhat brusque and at times almost verging on rudeness. Our white wine was opened but left unpoured for an unacceptable length of time, but when I finally began to pour it myself the waiter came up and grabbed the bottle from my hands. The manner of another waiter was also uncharming and a little condescending. And neither can the staff's behaviour be explained by a lack of linguistic competence on our part of our party, one speaks fluent French, another speaks French well enough to work at a Paris law firm, and I speak fairly competently, having been visiting France for 20 years. There was just no excuse. None the less, it was wonderful cooking and the service, though charmless, wasn't actually overtly rude, so the occasion was joyous and not spoiled."
