But mostly by the taste. I have never tasted oysters quite as delicious as these Brittany oysters. Most in our party agreed. Our party of 6 must have eaten about 10 dozen. A few of us tried the fish soup based on recommendations. I found that pretty tasty too. Not a lot of English spoken here, but we either spoke enough bad French or they understood enough English for us to make our way through the evening.

After fighting to get a table (no in winter I do not choose to eat on the bench outside) we got the hostess to understand that a table in 30 minutes was a better response than no table at all. The food was so worth it! The starter of Crab Bisque was divine. The fish special paice on a bed of spinach and crushed Jersey Royal was just melt in your mouth good. My partner's starter did not live to the tempura expectations, but his garlic lobster was to die for! A nice crisp South African Chardonnay to accompany the meal was all that was required. Did not reach for the Tabasco once as the flavors were just divine. Had to top it off with some Jersey soft serve ice-cream! This is what a good meal is all about. PS: the service is not bad, just a bit of "lost in translation".

The fish was not fresh and it was not seasoned well. For the first time in my life I retuned the fish to the kitchen. Reluctantly they provided me a different choice. The service was cold except for one person, and we seemed have a constantly changing cast of waiters, so unfortunately the good waiter did not attend to us for long. I ordered the strawberries and mascarpone for desert and it was unremarkable. All in all a disappointment.
