The entre was a pork paté with a salad and an apple sauce. The paté itself fine, cold like it came out of a fridge and the bread it was served on was inedibly hard. The main dish was a jellied-fish dish with fries and another salad. I've had dishes like this before but the fish was so dry I had to have a glass of water on standby. The fries had no condiments, but the salad was good. Desert was an apple and rhubarb tart, served with cream. it was good. Overall disappointing

Very good restaurant. Upscale restaurant for that special…read moreoccasion or just to pamper yourselves as we did that night. We showed up here without a reservation but it wasn't full so we got seated immediately. With a very nice wine list and even nicer menu choices this restaurant deserves praise. Only 2 people in the dinning room area for waitressing and putting orders and it runs perfectly. We had so many good things... I can tell you that anything out of that kitchen will be delicious. My wife ordered the surprise menu... which was a three course dinner of anything the chef wants to prepare for you. Everything was perfect. Beautiful presentation and all explained to you by the waitress. We also ordered a seafood dish with a lobster sauce that was delicious as well as my fish. All cooked perfectly. Great Restaurant, great service, awesome food.

Superb fish focused restaurant, a must try if you are a fish lover…read more Went on an offer from restaupolitan where you get a free dinner for 1 for a minimum of 2 people booking (must be a la carte and order minimum of 2 drinks) My parents went for that offer but I went with the discovery menu (4 courses for 38,5€). First the table gets an amuse bouche of coconut milk creme with seabass, coral lentils and sea lettuce. As starter we had the Monkfish and panais puree and for me the salmon on caramelised chicory. for mains we had the turbot wit carrot puree and shitakee and gingerbread. I had the pollock with pleurote, celeriac and bulgur risotto. I had a dessert, as included in the menu and it was a delicious apple and cinnamon souffle with an apple granite! The fish is fresh and perfectly cooked and staff is super nice and good service! I will comeback next time I'll be in the area

This is the second time we went here. Having tried before and were disappointed, we thought... why…read morenot, let's give it another try. Where to begin....once we were seated we waited while the 6 or 7 servers spun around the room. After some time, I could not even understand what each was doing. They all seemed to have every job and no job. Finally, we asked the chief server to take our aperitif order. We had a chance to review the menu and while it is a nice menu, the prices were 30% higher than what should be. We have never had the specials explained and had to ask two times for our aperitif. We finally ordered our food and were nervous because the prices just seemed too high for what we were seeing. We went ahead and while we waited our wine came. The wine was served as a cider- no explanation, no pause and even after requesting to have the bottle and ice bath left at our table it was put in the center of the room.... too far for us to serve ourselves...which is exactly what we had to do while we waited for the food.... some 20 min. Now, that could be ok, if the entree arrived or if there was a little something served, but it was all just so terribly timed. All of a sudden, everything came and our plates were served and taken quickly.... it was just a strange experience and felt like a non-professional service. Having lived in France for 8 years, in my experience, this is not normal for what this place aims to be. After we were rushed through our dinner, pretty much all the staff disappeared! We had no idea what was happening... some 10-5 min later we realized that the whole staff was eating in the next room. We knew that because they kept calling to the single server left to clear their plates.... through the open door! Now, everyone needs to eat, but we hadn't finished and ... well, it felt rude and sloppy and not professional. When we finally were able to get anyone's attention, we were treated like we had interrupted them. sorry/not sorry Overall, this was just a terrible experience. The prices were too high, the service was horrific and the overall food experience was sub-par.

This used to be a very good place but quality has went down dramatically over the past few years…read more Most of the dishes have a very generic flavor which makes me wonder if everything is really home made at this restaurant. Bread usually tells you if the restaurant cares about food quality and what they serve you here is a piece of frozen baguette. Even the oysters, one of their signature dish on the menu, do not appear the freshest. Nothing very appealing, really. And service is still overly pretentious considering the mediocre quality food served at this restaurant.

I recently visited this restaurant while in Lille. I enjoyed the food very, very much - except for…read morethe main course. The bread was fantastic. I had the Croquettes with shrimp as the appetizer, which were fantastic, and the creme brulee as desert - one of the best I've ever had. However, the surf-and-turf main course was very disappointing. The steak was very bland (although tender), and the seafood portion consisted of one giant shrimp (one!). The rest of the dish was filled with salad (mostly lettuce). Otherwise, the atmosphere was lovely, the wine selection was outstanding and the service was great. I think I'll probably give this restaurant another try to see if I simply chose the wrong main dish.
