"I hate leaving crummy reviews as I love and try to celebrate good food wherever I go and it just feels mean and petty to then go online and vent. In addition to that, one crappy review can have the effect of really dropping a great restaurants aggregate review which again is a great shame and does a good restaurant a solid disservice. So without venting I'd like to recall a visit to Keating Steak and Wine House from last Summer.My wife and I had the rare opportunity to get out and get some valued time to ourselves as my Mum babysat our daughter whilst we were all holidaying in Saumur (which by the way is beautiful and this experience should not stop you visiting).We turned up (admittedly without a booking) for lunch on a beautiful Summers day at 12.40pm the restaurant was nearly full with only 2 or 3 of it's 20 or so outside tables (however completely empty inside that had another 20 or so tables) but we were turned away which was a shame as I'd done my research and my wife and I were both in the mood for a classic steak frites and this according to my research was the go to place. We were then told to return in 10 mins as they'd be able to seat us. So we decided we would.Upon returning the instructed 10 minutes later (now with 6 or so table available and still empty inside) we were met with almost indignation by the same waiter of turning up to lunch at 12.50pm but after some gentle persuasion we were eventually seated. We ordered swiftly and both chose the €19 menu as we'd already studied the options and knew exactly what we wanted. Our drinks arrived after 15 minutes and following another 5 minutes I called the waiter to check on our starters as we were starting to get hungry and how long can a beef carpaccio and some mushrooms take? We were borderline insulted just to the point of thinking "did that really happen?" and told they were on their way.It's at this point that things started to become weirdly comical as my wife went inside to use the loo only to be told that it was "out or order" the waiter offered no other advise but my wife eventually found an alternative (she's smart that way having always been the resourceful type). My wife returned which is more that I can say for the waiter who only reappeared 15 minutes later with a raft of very angry fellow diners who'd been waiting to pay their bills (the other waitress on duty was we understand not trusted with money so could not handle money). Despite negotiating with both members of staff neither of our starters materialised and our lunch ended with our waiter presenting us with a bill for the bottle of wine saying that it was not possible to serve us as the kitchen was closing. This was at about 1.40pm, an hour after originally asking for a table. Needless to say we did not pay for the wine and then had the virtually impossible task of finding another restaurant that would accept us for lunch at 1.45pm (remember this is France).So apologies for the crummy review, who knows we might have just got you on a bad day as the vast majority of everyones reviews are all glowing. But an apology instead of abuse and indifference in ocean going quantities to our experience would have been appreciated and might even have been accepted.Enjoy!"

"Had dinner here on a Thursday evening. Welcome and service was very good but the dishes were even better. The amuse bouche of Lemon Mousse was intriguing but wonderful. Started off sweet but changed to unsweet - amazing. Both of us had the gazpacho starter which had a ball of sweet and chill pepper ice-cream in the middle - just marvellous. Mains were chateaubriand for me - perfectly cooked - and sandre (pike-perch) with mushroom risotto for my wife, which she says is one of the best fish dishes she's ever had. We both finished with cheese with a wide and varied selection offered.With kir royals and wine the bill was 100€ which we thought was very reasonable for the high quality of food and service. Highly recommended."

"Merci, Thank you. Highly recommended for couple or family with kids as this restaurant have kids menu with vegetables ! (Suggestion to chef : for kids 2 to 4 years put less “lemon” on vegetables otherwise very nice dish). Front panel of the restaurant near street ; please change it as it look cheap, hard to read and put 2 photos of your dishes as it will greatly improve the amount of customers who will take a table instead moving elsewhere, I think you will see at least +30% increase of customers). This restaurant have really good quality/price. Also excellent service by the young ladies who served us, they had a good balance of being open but not too much, knew when and what to say, very friendly and professional). Highly recommended, you won’t forget the experience."

"I promised myself I will specifically rate this place. While staying at the camping nearby for a week with two kids, it was the first and last place we visited to eat in. It was wonderful on all sides! The food is of high quality and superb taste. I went for La Poulette both times, just couldn't resit, but simple ham and cheese was also great. Nicely served, good portions. The choice is fair, they have menus for adults and kids. Service is just perfect. Really friendly and helpful people. They are also well equipped to handle kids - they have both high chairs and booster seats, plastic cups and lots of patience. Dining with two kids aged 2 years and 11 months is usually a sport, but they helped making it a really nice moment. If you stay around you have to pay a visit :)"

"We zijn hier 2 jaar geleden langs geweest op aanraden van ons hotel en het was heel lekker.We zijn dit jaar opnieuw geweest (2 dagen na elkaar zelfs) en het was opnieuw heel lekker voor een aangename prijs . De façade van de responsie niet veel soeps, maar laat je dit niet tegenhouden. Binnenin krijg je echt lekker eten voor , in verhouding, weinig geld . Ook goede wijn tegen een eerlijke prijs . Echt een aanrader , dus..."
