Cozy restaurant with great service. We tried some of the most delicious oysters I’ve had. The Istr shot is a must-do, and get a side of chips with whatever you order.

The happy hour of €1 oysters was such a great deal. Bigger juicer sweeter oysters were excellent too. Kind of cool vibe bar restaurant.

Very good oysters, excellent fish and sauce, innovative deserts. I suggest their cocktail Spristr.

The ambience was nothing special. Food was not bad but not spectacular. Service was 1 out of 10, 1 waiter serving more than 10 tables with an average of 5 people per table

The restaurant was out of most of the food and wine menu items. The experience didn’t live up to the rating it had

Food is ok, no more than that. Less than average wine list. Quite inattentive service. Won’t be back.

The service was great. We booked on The Fork and got a discount. We knew that we wanted to eat some oysters so we ordered the large seafood platter (we live in Central Mexico and it's hard to get great oysters). The waiter recommended a great champagne for our meal. The bread was absolutely delicious. A few mignonettes came with the platter. We had an issue with the whelks...they were small and WAY too sandy and gritty. I had to mention it to our server because they were inedible. The waiter asked the chef to come and speak to us and they handled the complaint really well. They substituted a small bowl of larger whelks that were grit-free. How a restaurant deals with a complaint in the moment defines how much they care about the customer and these guys did a stellar job with their service. If we go to Paris again, we will return here and likely order oysters and escargot (I was eyeing that at a neighboring table). I'll ask for a comfy booth in the reservation next time.

It's an amazing restaurant if you are a seafood lover. The other dishes are fine too but the oysters and etc. are phenomenal.

I was in Paris for the Olympics and ate at several Michelin restaurants. This place had the best atmosphere, an attentive waiter and the food was spectacular.

Great ambiance and service but the beef was too tough to even cut with a knife- very disappointing. The snails were very good, maybe skip the beef and choose seafood.

We booked based on the good reviews, location and that we wanted to try Oysters while in Paris. We arrived and were surprised by how few guests there were in the restaurant but we were greeted well and taken to our table in the corner. The menu was explained to us (we went for the €80 Michelin package) and we were excited to go ahead. The oysters were very bitter. The vitello tornado tasted like a dish that had been sitting in a fridge for days with a sauce that was covered in water. We did not eat it and were offered an alternative. We refused but were provided with a white asparagus dish instead. White asparagus is one of my top 10 foods to eat and is in season. Thus version had been grilled and was undercooked and insufficiently peeled. The main course fish dish had rubbery fish - the accompanying vegetables were actually ok but my dish was taken away before I could finish them (I think a mix up in communication which may have been my fault). Dessert was a deconstructed black forest gateau. It was fine, nothing special, and saved the overall food experience. Our 5yo daughter was catered for with a linguini in cheddar sauce which she devoured and wanted more of. Super nice staff, food not recommended at all. Maybe this is just a place for oysters and cocktails?
