She is outstanding. Also, if you like spicy in your food, ask Lana if she can bring the "boomba"... It's a chili oil that they make in-house. Deliciousness with a tiny kick. Don't wimp out... Enjoy this perfect place to enjoy a respite on your beach front walk.

Sacre Blu. We were having a lovely day in Menton when we tried to stop for a quick bite at this…read moreestablishment. TRIED is the key word. We went up to three different waiters and asked them for a table for 5. They were simply unwilling to accommodate us although they had ample room and tables available. In fact, another family came up and got seated as we were there. This was clearly an act of racism, as seen by the staffs rude behaviour. All of them were making faces as us, and even told us that they were not able to bring an extra seat to a table of four. I am particularly appalled. French: Sacré Bleu. Nous passions une belle journée à Menton lorsque nous avons essayé de nous arrêter pour une bouchée rapide dans cet établissement. ESSAYÉ est le mot clé. Nous sommes allés jusqu'à trois serveurs différents et leur avons demandé une table pour 5. Ils n'étaient tout simplement pas disposés à nous accueillir bien qu'ils aient suffisamment de place et de tables disponibles. En fait, une autre famille est arrivée et s'est assise pendant que nous y étions. C'était clairement un acte de racisme, comme en témoigne le comportement grossier du personnel. Tous faisaient des grimaces comme nous, et nous ont même dit qu'ils n'étaient pas en mesure d'apporter un siège supplémentaire à une table de quatre. Je suis particulièrement consterné.

My husband and I had dinner here tonight. The place was packed but we snagged a table :o) We…read moredecided on the salmon crudo and calamari salad to start. My salmon was very good. Thought his calamari salad was on the salty side. Service was good. For plats we had the equivalent of bouillabaise and pasta de mare. Both had good amounts of seafood. The bouillabaise had salmon, another delicious fish, shrimp, potatoes, mussels, clams - yummy! The pasta was fresh and seafood plentiful. Also a good choice. We were so full we opted for a lemon sorbet and chocolate glace for dessert (since we HAD to have dessert since we ordered the set menus). They also served us each a limoncello liqueur after dinner. Very nice!

There are many reasons why you return to a restaurant: Great food, friendly service, a pleasant…read moreambiance, fantastic location and fond memories of a previous visit, to name a few. Five years ago, I ended up at Le Stanley for a birthday dinner. Le Stanley was not my first choice. Or even my second choice. But for various reasons, we passed by my original choices and ended up at Le Stanley. Though I was a bit disappointed about eating there, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised and had a most enjoyable dinner. Since then, my visits have been increasingly dissatisfying. But I kept going back, drawn in by the head waiter who intercepts you as soon as you pause to look at their menu and with the hope of reliving my original experience. My last visit was the final straw. The aggressive approach to solicit diners, which was once mildly amusing, I now find annoying. And the food which was borderline acceptable at the previous year's dinner has deteriorated even more. My appetizer (octopus and potatoes) was adequate, but my Veau au Citron was rubbery. My dinner companion fared much worse. Her Fish Soup appetizer tasted like it was from a can. A far cry from the delicious Fish Soup served at Le P'Tit Resto (another restaurant in Menton) a few days earlier. But the real disappointment was her entrée of Moules Marinièress. The mussels were not only microscopic, but tasteless. When we complained, the waiter rudely responded that they were traditional French Mussels not oversized American Mussels. I've enjoyed Moules Marinières before, and these were not French Mussels but rejects, leftovers and under-developed mussels. The kind of mussels that would be discarded in most restaurants; French, American or otherwise. It's one thing to serve inferior food, but to insult the intelligence of a diner by trying to pass it off as something normal is inexcusable. Instead of trying to defend the mussels, the entrée should have been replaced. And removed from the bill! But it was neither replaced nor removed. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Le Stanley.
