"We had a couple of hours to spare before a pick up at the nearby airport and this restaurant was recomended in the recently re-jigged port, On first sight impressive, lots of waiters, more people than the other restaurants, gorgeous flowers, good napery etc. Lovely...welcome, a quickly delivered bottle of St. P. with, oh dear, a measly 6 croutons and a teaspoon of tapenade....if you can’t be generous with dried bread and olives..... SO menus perused, fish hauled out off the ice and displayed BUT none of the many staff waiting around could take our order as it was the prerequisite of the owner. Eventually we ordered from a reasonable 35€ menu, gênerous plates of moules farcies, which I felt needed more grilling to make them exciting. I was more than excited by the true rincé doigt...a rarity, instead of chemical wipes. My host had a delicious salmon en croute and I petite friture, the dish of mixed veg bizarre and cold. Liz then made me order the desert included and then went on to demolish a huge baba au rhum plus a plate of profiteroles on her own, much to the amazement of the staff. By this point the owner had relinquished control and was allowing other staff to take food orders’ thus saving other dinners the frustration we had felt. All in all a mostly positive experience."
