Went to this place for a celebratory meal with old friends. There was a mix up with the order and…read moretwo of us got our food 40 mins before the others. The manager was unapologetic and dismissed the cock-up as if we were giving too much importance to the fact that we were not eating together. Yes, the view is nice, but no one deserves to be treated with such contempt. It really ruined our encounter. There were four nationalities around the table, including a Corsican and to be honest, no one was impressed by the staff rudeness. The food lacked salt and any seasoning. When my dish, oven baked kid, arrived, it was inedible, tough and poorly cooked. My friends had fish and lamb and no one managed to eat more than a few mouthfuls. Don't let the view or the presentation fool you; it looks the part, but food there's no substance. There are plenty other restaurants in Bastia, with the same view but with much better food.

Wow are these folks rude. They managed to ruin two evenings for me in Bastia. The first night,…read morealthough they were empty, they would not seat us. The second night they denied that we had made a reservation. I have never had that happen to me in 30+ years of dining out. They also got angry and hostile. These folks should not be in the restaurant business. Stay far away from this place.

Big portions and good food, but a bit of a language barrier!…read more Went there for dinner and the menu was only available in French. The staff has very limited English language skills, but with some help from other clients, some body language and some Google we were able to order. I had the "tartare traditionell" and they had added a barbecue sauce to the grounded meat which made it very sweet. The taste was very good, but I would not call this a traditional tartare. The meat was very good and the portion was huge! I could not finish it despite being really hungry! My companion had the burger and that was also big and the meat in the burger was good, but the rest of the burger was quite ordinary. If you neef GF or NGF a celiac travel card in French would be recommended to ensure you get food that works. Tartare is GF! Location and surroundings of the outdoors serving is not the most fancy as it is located by a parking garage entrance, but no car at all came through while we were eating, so it did not disturb us. Despite the language barrier the staff was truly helpful and we had a lovely night.
