"Not great food, mediocre dish of the day, pompous but unsuccessful service: dishes that arrive before the end of the aperitif, and excessive waiting compared to the crowds. Unnecessary and unsanitary handshaking. Service: 2 Location: 4"

"a first and last time in this establishment...! we went to this establishment to celebrate the anniversary of a loved one. we come and present to the waitress who places us at the table and presents the menu. We order our entrances and dishes as well as a bottle of wine. When we taste our bottle while waiting for our entries, we are told that our reservation is not valid, and we are told: we ask you to leave, I hope you understand. we have been at table for 15 good minutes discussing and tasting our wine. We left, shocked. in response to the restorer's message, below your answer leaves us without a voice in the same way that your Thursday reaction left us mouths bent! clearly insulting insinuations of your previous message are not worthy of a qualitive restaurant as you claim to be. I will, however, have to make it clear: we have not finished our glasses when you asked us to leave your place; not we didn't want to take an aperitif to the eye but simply dinner and have a good time at the restaurant; No we didn't lie to your waitress by usurping someone else's identity, we presented ourselves to her by telling her that we had booked a table for three people what we honestly thought was the case and she kindly drove us to the table. So our intentions were not to steal or lie. It is distressing to have to specify it. When Internet users, I think they'll be even a review of the atmosphere of your restaurant, in the face of the animosity and the unrighteousness of your answer."

"**Intro**Before I start this review I want to explain that the menu for tonight was fixed due to a jazz event outside the restaurant. So all you could choose from was 1 of 3 dishes of a starter, main course and desert (3 dishes of 9). With so few options the results bound to be good when you can focus and do a few dishes really well. Our company had a table for 7.**Time management**We got there at 20.30 just before the jazz band started playing outside. Drinks took 15 minutes to serve and after that an additional 30 minutes for starters.After 50 additional minutes the main course was served. The deserts was served after the jazz bands session had ended at around 22.30.In terms of speedy service I would call this a disaster. Although one waiter understood that we had been waiting for almost 50 minutes she had a poor explanation for the delay "A lot of the guests wanted their deserts served but your food is coming up in five minutes."This is a great way of kindly explaining how much of a non-priority we were. 1 of 5**Food**When it comes to the food I would love to say that it was worth the wait, but it wasn't.Starter: Duck liver with caramelized apple with some kind of crushed nuts.The good: Caramelized apple and crushed nuts was very tasty. 3 of 5. The bad: Duck liver had a spoungy texture and tasted very little to nothing. A bit of salt would probably save the taste and I could have given it a decent 3,5-4 maybe.Main Course: Fish in tomato sauce with ruccola.The good: At least the fish was fresh.The bad: This was nothing worth remembering. I feel so sad that a fine file of fish got served on such a poor plate with a tomato sauce and a 1/2 cup of ruccola. I mean come on, a student on a tight budget could make a better tasting fish while trying to nuke it with spices, herbs or even ketchup. No chef-effort whatsoever. Also, where was the salt? Use of fresh fish was the only positive thing. 2 of 5Desert: Fromage with Nutella and some kind of nuts crushed with pop rocks. The good: Fromage tasty and didn't end the night in total failiure.The bad: The melted chocolate was not actual Nutella. Maybe some generic brand? Also the pop rocks would be more of a success on a childs desert. 3 of 5**Service**The waiters had a busy evening hopefully trying to make their best but I am sad that all waiters had their sight fixed on everything else except their guests. Since we had been ignored and had our expected 80-90 minute restaurant visit being delayed to approx. 150 minutes I can not say that I am satisfied with the service. After each dish being served non of the waiters returned and asked how the food tasted. Not even after clearing the table after each dish or when we asked to pay the bill. 1 of 5**Summary**I suggest the restaurant would improve the following:1. Whip the waiters to communicate with the guests. "How is the food tasting/Are you all satisfied/Care for some more wine?"2. Don't have a guy trying to be a sommelier when he even can not divide a bottle of wine equally. Just don't. 3. When explaining a time delay don't explain what you were doing instead. Explain what you can do for us to make up for it. Just a simple I'm sorry would do just fine if you lack mandate to offer a fruitplate or whatever.4. When the bill is being asked for don't walk away and start clearing the table for other guets.5. Fire the chef. Main reason for not succeding in executing only 9 dishes in an evening with brilliance. There is nothing to salvage here.This restaurant might have potential on any other night since previous ratings was what got us to book a table here tonight. Hopefully this is an one time fail for the restaurant. Food was not bad, just tasteless and the waiters succeded in making the evening a boring one. Sorry but I won't visit this place once again.Salute."

"Went here due to previous reviews, was a bit disappointed. The quality of food is ok, maybe better than average but not great. Had the saltimbocca, I like veal but this was nothing special. Wife had the tagliatelle salmon which was certainly better, probably an above average dish, son had a pizza which was okay. Portions were massive, nobody finished the meal and I'm a big eater!I was a bit disappointed with all the restaurants we visited in Cagnes Sur Mer, I expected French food to be a cut above the rest but they were all average pub grub, I was eating at the value end so maybe you do get what you pay for here!"

"The verdict in one sentence: Immediate takeoff, Basque-colored setting and warm, sincere service. It was so divine that I almost forgot to take photos! Tested on a Saturday lunchtime. Chats and laughter as there were few of us [everyone at the beach! and ended up having the person in charge of the service to ourselves. We tested the croquettes as a starter but nothing like all those I was able to test in Barcelona. Another dimension. Tasty piece of beef for my mother while I enjoyed my foie gras as a main course accompanied by small artichokes and soft brioche. Then a deconstructed lemon dessert that I can't describe. The kind of creation that you can't reproduce at home. This is why it is better to treat yourself with a gastro rather than 5 mediocre restaurants. White wine by the glass because I like it dry, it fruity and that way no excess. I took the Jurançon extremely fresh as I like it. Beautiful tablecloths and napkins that reminded me of a shopping trip in St Jean de Luz. Small treats and quality coffee. Run there for a big occasion. Menu at 55 euros but we preferred to make our choice a la carte combined with the tapas menu. Found on TripAdvisor and booked via TheFork because I was looking for a restaurant not far from Vence with a very good rating."
