10/10The visit was lovely. The hotel gave us two glasses of champagne at the restaurant for my husband's birthday. We ordered light, one thing at a time, which I would recommend. The dumplings were a-ma-zing! Service was impeccable. Enjoyed! We also had the tuna tartare and French fries.

8/10Finding a quality restaurant open on a Sunday evening is rather hard in and this is how we discovered "Esprit". We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, the service, the food and the choice of wines. The menu is small but the choice of dishes is intelligent and well balanced. Unfortunately, the weather did not permit us to dine outside under the superb pergola so a second visit to "Esprit" is a must, so is one to the sister restaurant "Emotions" closed on Sundays.

9.5/10Very nice place, location is beautiful, service is very attentive. Good is delicious. I was disappointed with the look of the guests, there was no dress code for some clients, I was on Friday evening in nice dress and there were people in shorts, and almost hiking t-shirts) I’m not snob, but I visit that kind of places very often ( I mean 5 star hotel restaurants, which have some food awards) and usually guests look nicer.

9/10One advice: don’t offer frozen cod as a main course - dry ant tasteless, the only disappointment, everything else was very agreeable (legume and carpaccio of veal especially good).
ESPRIT Brasserie • Owner
Dear guest, Thanks for choosing our restaurant Les Saisons and for posting this review. We are glad you enjoyed our chef’s Carpaccio de Veau but deeply regret to read that your experience with the main dish was not up to your expectations. Be sure that our starred chef takes the greatest care in conceiving and concocting the very highest quality dishes and indeed frozen food is not part of it as we offer fresh ingredients only. We always encourage our guests to say something on spot so that we can enhance their experience in the best possible way. It would be a pleasure to welcome you again in our establishment for another culinary experience perfect on all points. Yours faithfully. Luc Califano General Manager

7/10The food was really tasty, and the service was good but we were in the restaurant for 3 hours to be served 3 courses. Not sure if this is normal but for us, we did get tired from waiting which made the overall experience less enjoyable.

10/10About as perfect as a high end dining experience can be. Only four tables in the restaurant, so the attention is phenomenal. Well worth it.
