    Friendly waiters responded patiently to our questions, and the food was fabulous. So many restaurants have only 4 main dishes, this had 5 fish courses and 5 meat courses. Very decent wines by the glass (with a large wine list too), and very comfortable ambiance. Very impressed!

    The restaurant is located in a very quiet place. According to my requirements, it needs renovation. Otherwise, the food was at a very good level, only one of the main dishes was tasteless. The quality of the food was very good.

    We had a wonderful dinner. The chef came out and spoke to us and the diners and asked if everything was good. The food was fantastic. I would highly recommend the this restaurant to anyone visiting Lyon.????

    Went there for lunch. Could tell the chef cared about the food. Came out and talked to the clients. Our waiter, however, was unfriendly, snappy, made for an annoying experience. Other staff there seemed much nicer.

    An awesome evening.. a perfect table, changed without comment by the staff. The chef did a wonderful job. Escargots and mushrooms; venison steak cooked to perfection and a slice of piglet… the staff were attentive but not intrusive. A great evening
