They do have an English menu, but the translation isn't exactly correct. Everything started well with some delicious wine and escargot. Then we ordered entrees and what we got was definitely not what we thought we ordered. It was so different, in fact, I almost sent it back thinking it was someone else's order... ha! The food was ok, we both somewhat accidentally ordered cheese on salad or essentially sour cream and potatoes maybe? It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't amazing. I bet they have some great food here, but we just didn't get most of it.

I went with the chicken option since I'm not really a steak person, and the chicken was a little too over cooked and dry. Service was a little iffy.... Prices are pretty reasonable - about 25 a person for main, dessert, and wine. Not too shabby. Speaking of dessert, it was the end of the night and they really served us the rest of all the dessert - huge huge portions.

After reading so many positive reviews from Yelp and TripAdvisor, my expectations were high for our…read moreanniversary dinner there. First of all, making a phone reservation was most difficult. Took 8 calls over 2 days to eventually speak to someone and book a table. The food and wines were average and seriously overpriced for the quality. No seasoning (when not highly salty), no surprise in ingredients nor textures, oily yellowish sauces that looked like cheap melted butter. Wines were ok, but not matching the food so well - Côtes de Bourg on veal ribs is a poor association. Sweets were the cold comfort in our meal. The vanilla and rhubarb mousse was good, so was the strawberry salad. All this was clearly not worth the 150 euros they asked for. Not sure the so many good reviews are accurate... If you want a fine quality dinner in the region, I do recommend to look for alternatives in Metz or Nancy, that have plenty of places where the quality will be much higher for the same price.

She was right, it's a lovely little deli with a few tables out front and and an adorable back room (derriere Derriere) filled with mismatched furniture, funky lamps and thrift store finds. The decor is as chilled and relaxed as the pleasant and helpful service. The manager/owner was kind enough to fit us in last minute during a crowded lunch hour and serve us very quickly as we only had 35 minutes to eat. The one failing I found with this place was the food. I have no objections to small menus - I find they tend to mean a kitchen focuses on what it can do well - but this menu was pretty stodgy for a warm August day. N's polenta and breaded swordfish was tasty enough but very bland and unexciting and my aubergine lasagna was made up of very thick slices of aubergine which never quite cooked through, and a pretty boring tomato sauce in dire need of herbs and seasoning. All in all the ambiance is lovely and perhaps if you go for a glass of wine and some things to taste from the deli counter it's a better experience? I was a little sad it had to be said as I so wanted this cute place to have food to match.
