I had before going there done as often in a new place, consult all the opinions concerning this restaurant to realize that those of 2021 were mostly bad while those of 2022 were generally excellent, I also always admit to being fearful when the meal period is preceded by a 4 to 6, noise being often a problem. So it was with some trepidation that I went there expecting to be disappointed. The first impression was not very good, in fact the music and the people at the bar constituted a bad atmosphere for a meal, we were 5 and like to discuss. The second impression, however, set the record straight, the service was excellent, the dishes served at the right time without pressure and the food, I must admit, beyond what I could have expected. I have no hesitation in recommending it for the food but keep as far away from the bar as possible. J’avais avant d’y aller fait comme souvent dans un nouvel endroit, consulter tous les avis concernant ce restaurant pour m’apercevoir que celles de 2021 étaient en majorité mauvaises tandis que celles de 2022 étaient généralement excellentes, j’avoue aussi toujours être craintif quand la période du repas est précédée d’un 4 à 6, le bruit étant souvent un problème. C’est donc avec une certaine appréhension que j’y ai été m’attendant à être peut-être déçu. La première impression ne fut pas très bonne, de fait la musique et les gens au bar constituait une mauvaise ambiance pour un repas, nous étions 5 et aimons discuter. La deuxième impression cependant a remis les pendules à l’heure, le service fut excellent, les plats servis au bon moment sans pression et la nourriture, je dois l’avouer, au-delà de ce que j’aurais pu m’attendre. Je n’ai aucune hésitation à le recommander pour la nourriture mais tenez-vous le plus loin possible du bar.
