The seafood platter had offerings that aren't usually seen on ice the US . Snails , clams , tiny prawns in addition to oysters , lobsters . Good way to expand your raw seafood palate.

The price is reasonably less expensive than the same amount of seafood in Southern California restaurants.

One batch was a little salty, while the other was savory. Great combination. The shrimp are sweet and full of flavors. The star Anise was a perfect compliment on the shrimp. The escargot was a little different than we were used to. These were chilled and had a unique texture. I prefer them hot and in a butter sauce, but was fun to try something different. The beef Pate was served from a pre-package jar, but flavors were superb. We also had the salmon stuffed zucchini which was a great combination of barley, Roquefort blue cheese and salmon. Great presentation and flavors. For dessert....The Citron merengue and rhubarb pie were awesome.

Yes, I understand this is how things are In Europe and especially a big city like Bordeaux but it truly lowered the quality of my experience. Nonetheless, that had nothing to do with the restaurant but I'm just leaving here for others. Overall, the servers are pleasant, all English speaking and want you to enjoy the food. The sardines are phenomenal as well as the razor clams. I've had lots of sardines before and this restaurant's were actually pretty friken good. If you're here, please don't eat a meat dish and take advantage of the specialties at this restaurant: the fish. Nothing mind blowing about it as a whole but I would recommend it to a friend.

I enjoyed my meal more than my wife, but I really enjoyed mine. We ended up here on our first…read morenight in Bordeaux because things didn't work out at our first couple of choices - menus weren't as advertised - so we ended up here. Needed a restaurant that had seafood and they had multiple options and its very cute inside. Obviously, didn't have a reservation but the host was kind enough to seat us anyway (that doesn't always happen in Bordeaux). We started with the ceviche appetizer and we each got a seafood entree. It's been a couple of weeks so I don't remember exactly what I got - it was a filet and I think either seabass or monkfish. My wife's, on the other hand, was a whole fish and pulling bones out of her mouth kind of soured her on the meal. However, my fish was cooked perfectly and in a delicious broth. The veggies were perfect as well, and the ceviche was delicious. And, of course, the wine was wonderful. So it was a win for me. I'd probably go 4.5 stars if I could but I think 4 stars is too low. So even though I'm not a big believer in rounding up to 5 stars, I think this is an exception.

I figured the prices might be keeping out the regular tourists. We got three plates to share between the two of us. All were excellent but the veal ribeye steak was revelatory. Ribeye is my favorite cut and I've had hundreds of examples. Yet, the beautifully mild and incredibly juicy veal made me reconsider all my past choices. For the first time, I felt like royalty having a steak. Along with a glass of Bordeaux, the meal was only about 100 euros, a bargain for such memories. I spent the next two weeks looking for similar steaks around France, including in Lyon, to no avail. My attempts in the US have so far been abortive. I might have to come back to Bordeaux just for this steak.

You should make a reservation, though, especially if it's a busier night. We ordered the cuttlefish and foie gras ravioli as starters. The cuttlefish was good; maybe not the best we've had. The ravioli were really good, however. For our mains we ordered a duck breast with gnocchi and scallops with squid ink pasta. The duck was a little over cooked, but not criminally so. Everything else was great. The portions were bigger than we anticipated. Speaking to my American compatriots - come here with a reservation, try to speak some French (even if you can't do it well), treat the servers and the other diners with respect and you'll be just fine here.
