There's a restaurant and brasserie, and we ate at the brasserie, which has a totally different menu from the restaurant, with lower prices.
The major issue with the evening was the extreme slowness of the kitchen (though the brasserie was less than half full, and for much of our time there not even one-third full). The owners made a business gesture at the end, with an apology and free dessert, so I'll just comment on the quality of the food and the service.
The service was by two people who were obviously very inexperienced both in the job and what the brasserie had to offer: the waitress didn't even know whether they had any muscat for my apéritif. However, they did make up for that with their friendly, helpful natures and nice smiles.
The food was so-so. We started with prawn cocktail, which was uninspiring and the prawns appeared to have been defrosted.
I followed with an entrecôte with forestière sauce, fries and vegetables. The meat was fine, though not exceptional. The sauce was bland and lacking in real mushroom flavour. The vegetables were only four cherry tomatoes and a couple of asparagus tips. So, overall, the food was okay, but nothing to rant about.
I could only hope that the restaurant would be better - but it still has the same kitchen.
