7/10For a restaurant in a certain price range it is not fitting to send your guests away after two hours. It makes the dinner hasty and the urgency was noticable from the start. We had to order quickly and the main course was served immediately after the starters. There was not en light time for dessert or coffee. The good was fine but all things considered not worth the price.

5.5/10We went as a group of 3. Some dishes were really good, like the risotto and the octopus. when we proceeded to main, we ordered 3 and only 2 came . We wanted to have a green salad tossed (off menu) to balance the heavily meaty courses and couldn't. So ordered the only vegetarian main which was a Barley dish.. It came tasting very similar to the risotto dish - as the menu isn't big, at least the waiting staff could have pointed that out for us. The 2nd main that came was a pork chop that was so tough. Disappointing in general. Plates were being cleared when we were still chewing and this happened a few times. . That didn't seem like very attentive service at all. We discussed our expereince with the staff and they offered a dessert to say sorry. Though it isn't about this is it. We came from Hong Kong for work. Many restaurants have far superior food , service and ambience as a whole at a similar restaurant rating.

4/10I had high hopes for this place but neither the food or service was nice. Sad asparagus soup entry, dry and Chewie lamb and a tasteless chocolate dessert. It was edible but very mediocre. Not once did I get a smile from anyone except the runner bringing the food, he was very nice. No questions whether I liked the food or not. Would not recommend this place, there are other so much better restaurants like la scene theleme or mieux for the same price point. Wanted to go to marsan but after testing out this spot I’m not so sure anymore

7/10All in all, average food. Slow cocked lamb was delicious. Starters were fine, but the chocolate desert was disapointing

9/10In France for New Years Eve and we get to have brunch in this beautiful place. Yet, although they had announced that a fix menu could be selected for us this day, we never expected a 6 course meal well beyond our comfort zone. I get it, you need to try new stuff when you are traveling, but perhaps just as the restaurant anticipated this day as a special day with a fixed menu, a lot of turists could be anticipated as well and more globally diverse/inclusive menu could be proposed.

7.5/10To be honest the food was nothing special. The cocktail ( lady spritz) was ok but in a bar I would have returned it. The food was ok but much less then expected in such a restaurant The only highlight was the chocolate creme brulette Overall very dispointing and no recommendation

3/10Michelin star my butt. Artichoke appetizer with disgusting mustard sauce was yucky. Fish was fine with tarter sauce. Have had way better. Blah.

10/10Not only is it satisfying for the food but also for the taste buds. The chef's skill in handling the ingredients made it the most satisfying French meal I've had since coming to France. The flavors are well balanced and the dishes are generous in size but not stressful to the taste buds. A beautiful thick carpet of wool was woven with a balanced use of spices at a high level. The dessert at the end was amazing, with tension from different ingredients, sweetness and acidity, with spices, a good balance of creativity and tradition on the palate, even using temperature to control the balance between flavors, like a rich chamber music concert, hard to imagine from a young chef.

10/10Definitely a great spot! It was our third time there and we definitely wanna come back. The crew is super friendly. And most of all the food is wonderful and the proportions are really generous.

10/10This restaurant prepared quite simple but very taste and perfectly executed dished. I would recommend to specify where you would like to sit as you can enjoy different experience. Kitchen Counter Dining, 1st floor dining where the beautiful bar is, high table socials, lounge tables or at regular tables. I would avoid the entrance table (where we sat as there is quite a draft when the door opens - in Winter). The service is a modern, upbeat, young and professional. The wine list focuses on "winemakeresses" which I found very interesting (rather then feminist) and the wine prices are decent. The menu has a sophisticated wording and it comes across as a bit snobbish - not in line with the upbeat and vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. Overall, loved the experience, the authentic taste of the dishes and I would highly recommend "La betterave" and "La Côte de Veau à l'estragon". Loved it.

8.5/10This is a great place with a surprisingly creative, lively, dynamic kitchen. Food is incredibly. Although the service needs to be improved a lot. The waitress Was hardly available, several times we had to ask from the manager. She forgot to mention that the pavlova what - regarding the menu - supposed to come with raspberry cream and raspberry fruit comes with grapefruit and orange. We’ll choose something else if we’d know it in advance.

5.5/10Went with great expectations. Hard to know what they were trying to achieve with the food. Menu online which was a pain when we had problems with the roaming. Limited options of choices. No thrills or standout dishes. A Gnocchi dish was very disappointing. You wonder if someone from the team had actually sat and eaten through the menu. Let underwhelmed. Adequate at best. Perhaps we were the wrong demographic but after 3 weeks of eating around France we expected more.

6.5/10Dinner was just ok. I expected more from this place based on the name. Charcuterie board was weak… artichoke appetizer was good. Fish was nicely done but would have been better if served to us (Vs self serve). Dessert was lacking. The atmosphere was nice…. Couch seating was unique.

9/10We enjoyed greatly the general atmosphere. We critically tasted any dish on the Menu in our group from staters to main course and of course the Home Made Madeleine a must!. Any single dish is presented with great sense of esthetic and originality. Really enjoyed the do it yourself Guacamole. The cooking of the meat, kitchen, lamb shoulder or veal shop was really mastered with very tasty sauce and side dish. We could have made with a little bit more attention from the waitress
