C'était pas évident et ce n'était pas très agréable pour l'ambiance du repas. En plus, l'ambiance, c'était loin de relaxe, puisque le serveur courait littéralement sans cesse. C'est aussi lui qui nous a dit brusquement dit que le millésime pouvait changer de ce qu'il y avait sur la carte. En fin de compte il nous avait apporté une bouteille différente de ce qu'on a commandé. Il l'a changé en s'excusant. Le steak que j'ai commandé " saignant"  était servi bleu. Corrigé avec encore des excuses. Malgré tout ça, mon mari à apprécié son plat d'agneau pressé Et le dessert de fondant au chocolat était bon. J'espère que ces jeunes vont se rappeler qu'en Provence on n'est pas pressé !

The setting was spectacular, sitting outside amongst trees and rocks of their terrace. Our wait staff could not have been better -- they treated us like VIPs, explaining the menu and with navigating the local wine list. In fact, the sommelier brought a couple of wines by for me to sample before making a final selection. Nice!! For lunch we had a bone marrow-- beef bone, cut in half, where you scoop out the marrow. Interesting and sublime. Wow the taste. Next came the main plat which was a perfectly seared tuna steak. ...and the wine from Gigondas, made for a memorable and fun meal. Reasonably priced, this was a class act from the service, ambiance and especially the food.

They have a nice terrace (due to COVID we ate outside), and a bunch of different menu options. We chose the "surprise" seafood menu and were so happy we did. They had a few "surprise" menus and it seemed like possibly a bit of a scam...until we got our food. It was one sumptuous dish after another, all perfectly plated. The server (I'm guessing this is a family affair, it seemed to be a mom-and-pop type place with the kids helping out) was so excited about the food, it was infectious. The desserts were glorious! Wine selection was amazing for the price.

We were seated inside the restaurant and since we didn't speak any French, ordering was quite tough for us, but luckily our waiter was extremely kind and recommended some excellent dishes. The entrée + plat + dessert in particular comes at a good price, and the dishes are certainly delicious as well. Got the Mini Salade de chévre chaud, which I initially didn't like due to the sauce, but combined with the cheese tasted much better as I warmed up to it. Steak de Thon mi-cuit was the highlight, thought it was beef but turned out to be fish, but was equally as good! To finish it off, I had Créme brulée Praliné, which was excellent! Overall, would highly recommend and will definitely come back if nearby.
