Au départ nous devions être 12... pour finir à plus de 18 personnes. Personnel super sympa qui a su s'adapter. Très très bon plat du jour ainsi que les plats à la carte. Dessert parfait. Bref, je le recommande vraiment !

Une cuisine avec un bon rapport qualité prix. Nous avons pris la formule du midi avec 3 plats en choix, plus dessert avec un verre de vin et café. Impeccable. Service très correct. Je viens de lire les commentaires et certains se plaignent, alors je ne sais pas. En tout cas, nous y retournerons.

Nous avons tres bien mangé. Par contre en total contradiction avec les anciens avis par rapport au service et à l'accueil. Au contraire souriant bonne ambiance avec quelques petites blagues qui vont bien . Merci pour ce petit moment en famille. On reviendra
