I thought the value was excellent considering the quality of the seafood and ambiance. This meal was 25 euros a person but that included a long meal (2 hours), the tip, and hospitable caring service.

La Citadelle is a cut above : clean, friendly, popular, oysters and other standards a bit pricier but quality way above the norm, a number of non-usual choices. After a couple nice, on the house amuse bouches, two of us shared a dozen oysters, and two bowls of rich, velvety rockfish soup made even better with croutons, grated cheese and a great mashed potato/ horseradish rouille.

It once again shows that a great Back of House isn't everything, or in other words that a bad Front of House can ruin the entire dining experience.
