We walked into the half empty restaurant, with plenty of seating, as well as all the tables available outside. To be quite specific there were 3 tables taken. We came in an hour before close and asked for a table. We were told "reservation only," by the woman with the short gray hair and glasses behind the bar. She told us to go eat at La Loco instead because nothing was available for us. When we walked home and passed the restaurant, there were 2 tables occupied inside. We checked to see if it was reservation only, it is not. We were unable able to sit down and eat due to her not allowing us to sit so we did, in fact, go to La Loco up the street.

We mixed our order to sample all that we could. The entrees were perfect. Smoked octopus with a subtle deco if beetroot and coulis and a raviolis of Fois gras and cauliflower. Great marriages. We finished with pigeon that was close to be best we have had, and the langoustines. Both had a great fusion with vegetables and little touches like crunchy buckwheat crumbles on the spring onions with the pigeons. We sampled the wine menu (good) and took the chocolate and the apricot desserts (perfect). This is an address to come back to, in a city we have never explored but will enjoy our return to.
