I have a food allergy and cannot eat food cooked with alcohol. The head waiter tried to convince me that the alcohol cooks off and he had an attitude. I did not ask for special treatment and would have been fine eating bread and was just happy to be there with my partner. The wait staff seemed annoyed about it and the service was slow throughout the restaurant. Potatoes cooked in clay, which had to be chipped off was very cool and the presentation was fun.

One of the best meals I've had in a while. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating 5: 7 course tasting menu for 52 Euro!!! Return worthiness: yes!!! If I'm so lucky to be able to return Eve award: best meal I had in Loire Valley Highlights: - Duck: most perfectly cooked duck breast I've ever had. Tender but not too rare or overdone, just the right amount of fat, and a sizeable boneless slice. Paired with this beautiful carrot purée and charred onion. 5 stars!!! - Bread: crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So fantastic in nailing its simplicity and making a common roll amazing. 5 stars - Asparagus mousse amuse: so light and fluffy with a Willy Wonka style to it as it looked like regular white whipped cream. Topped with a thin - Parmesan crisp and a small piece of fish. 5 stars. - Service: lovely wife was so friendly and accommodating. - Atmosphere: only about 6 tables in a nice welcome bar area - Foie gras: another perfect preparation with a lovely char sear and melt in your mouth inside when cut into. Pea pairing with peas and a thicker purée was a bit random for me. 5 stars for the foie, 4 stars for the dish. - Swordfish: thick slice cooked ahi style seared outside and rare in the middle. Topped with a light ginger textured Thai sauce and paired with a sabayon with thin rounds of chorizo. 4.5 stars - Salmon: large slab sushi rare style with a light grapefruit foam. The crispy slightly sweet sesame tulle was an expected addition. 4 stars - Burrata and chorizo: dollops of creamy cheese and pepperoni style sliced tasty seasoned chorizo. 4 stars - Beef cheeks: tender pieces of beef with fresh vegetables with a light gravy sauce. 4 stars - Fresh strawberry with a fresh citrus sherbet and surprising slice of fennel. 4 stars - Amuses: impressive with a collection of 4 all together to start. Stars were the little fried crab cake balls and tiny piece of eel on beet opaque jello. 4 stars Midlights: - Dessert: loved the mango sorbet with chunks of mango but didn't mesh with the thick chestnut paste on the long flat pastry. 3 stars - Goat cheese dessert: nothing wrong with it paired with some icey sorbets with goat cheese as well. I'm just not a goat cheese fan. 3 stars - Veal head amuse: tasty but bit intimidating with the gelee texture. 3 stars. Lowlights: - Fried cheese amuse: pretty dry. 2 stars - In a tiny town so if you're staying in another like Reims it's a short drive. Absolutely adored this little place and would come back to the Loire Valley just to eat here again.

We came to la Maison d'a Cote for dinner on our first wedding anniversary. We were spending the…read morenight in the Loire Valley and wanted to go someplace nice to celebrate. I did some research ahead of time and found la Maison d'a Cote and made a reservation, not knowing what the menu would be when we arrived. Neither of us are particularly adventurous when it comes to food so we opted for the a la carte option. We both chose the main course of wagyu beef with potatoes four ways and a dessert. My husband chose around the honey with genoise, almonds, and fresh cream sorbet. I had the chambord liqueur hot souffle. We were also served four smaller courses prior to the entree and a few small desserts after our main dessert choice. We opted for a bottle of cider to accompany our meal since we'd just been in the Normandy area the day before. A couple of the small starters were seafood based and I didn't love those (not a fan of most seafood) but it was fun to try something new. Everything else was perfect and delicious. I've never had such a beautiful meal in such a nicely decorated ambiance. The meal felt particularly special because we were seated adjacent to the chef's table. We were fortunate to have a nearly front row seat to watch the kitchen work their magic. I'd never seen the inter-workings of a high end kitchen like this and spent much of the meal watching in awe as each chef flawlessly executed their part of the meal. It was amazing how quiet it was! The staff spoke in hushed voices and the sound of the food cooking was the loudest noise coming from the kitchen. Everyone we interacted with - all of the cooks, the head chef, the waiters, and waitresses - were perfectly polite and kind to us. We really appreciated that each dish was explained to us in English as our French is abysmal. One of the waiters even quipped that this was a great opportunity to practice his English. La Maison d'a Cote absolutely lived up to the expectations I had going in and I would love to go back one day. 5 stars.
