The endive salad was not great and the scallops were honestly pretty plain and nothing to write home about. The tuna tartare was okay and literally on a bed of wasabi peas you get as a packaged snack from the grocery store. The octopus noodle dish was the only one I liked but because they brought out everything we ordered all at once instead of appetizers and starters first, it was cold by the time we got to it. Service was a bit slow and the table next to ours had to ask multiple times to get their check. The outdoor seating is nice and the restaurant itself is well located.

This place has a great outdoor selection. I was fortunate enough to grab a table outside before the dinner rush. The server was very nice. She recommend the seafood platter because it came with different types of seafood and fishes. The food came out pretty quickly and I was impressed with the selection of seafood on my plate. There were mussels, shrimps, salmon, sardine, and sea bass with assorted grilled vegetables on the bottom. It was fantastic! The fishes were cooked beautifully and the amount was just right. The entire meal was just simple, not over-dressed with some sauce or butter. You'll know immediately if the seafood is good just by eating it plain...grilled with some salt and pepper. This place got it. It was the perfect dinner meal I was looking for. This place is great if you want a view and great seafood in Nice.

Everything is made fresh daily; the pasta dishes are all wonderful and the portion sizes are HUGE! Tip: Over and above the fabulous pasta, we tried several fish dishes, and they were all excellent and fresh :-) Yes, the food here is phenomenal, but I suggest you make an effort to save room for dessert; their Tiramisu is out-of-this-World good - it's one of the best I've had in recent memory :-)

Meanwhile, other tables that were seated after us, all white people, got their food promptly and were already eating. I don't say this lightly, but the pattern was hard to ignore. If you're a minority, be aware, the service did not feel equal, and we were left waiting far longer than guests who arrived after us and decided to leave at that point. This kind of treatment is unacceptable. We won't be back.

We ordered a double round of snails, plus shrimp crudo, steak tartare, and octopus to share. Everything was fresh, light, and had unique flavor combos. I also got an espresso martini for my fix, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't great and came with a straw (lol)?!? Now, here's where it got wild. The staff, 4 of them, were literally screaming and fighting with each other in the middle of service with hands raised, ready to throw down. I've never seen anything like it in a restaurant, and it turned what could have been a nice meal into something that felt trashy. Our grumpy waiter was one of the people involved, which just made it worse. Food-wise, this place is a 5. But with the staff's behavior, I'm being generous giving it a 3. Honestly, I wouldn't go back because of that.

This place was a massive mixed bag and pure chaos…read more Reservations not permitted so it was very luck based waiting game. The person who greeted us was a mix of frantic, slightly rude and meaningfully overwhelmed. We arrived for dinner around 8pm and were told to wait 5-10 minutes for a table inside. 15 minutes later we were told 2 minutes for our table. 35 minutes later we were finally seated. We weren't in a rush, but also were freezing given it was pretty cold outside and there wasn't an indoor waiting area. We also noticed a couple guys walk in and get seated right away, we don't know the scoop, but couldn't help but be a little annoyed given we'd been waiting for 20 minutes at this point and reservations weren't allowed. We got in, it was warm, which was nice. It took us a moment to figure out what we wanted and the service definitely got better once we were seated. Although, unlike other French restaurants we'd visited, you could clearly tell they wanted to get you seated and out quickly. My wife, daughter and I decided to share the soup (which we heard was a must try while in Nice) and a seafood tower de oysters. The good: flavors were good, seafood was fresh. And everything came out quickly. The bad: this might be a me thing, but for €19 euro seafood soup, I'd expect there to be some seafood in there - it was only broth. Maybe that's just how it is, but I was pretty annoyed to get that bowl and not see a lick of protein in there. WTF?! I would absolutely not recommend this dish. We didn't have it anywhere else, so don't know how it's prepared in other locations. The seafood tower was good, but felt fairly stingy for the price. Overall, glad we went, definitely wouldn't go back. Food isn't bad, but it feels very very tourist trappy.

We started with the burrata appetizer which was creamy perfection. For our mains we had the Prime rib and the Lamb chops. Both were cooked how we liked. They were seasoned well and had excellent flavor. We had a delicious side of creamy whipped potatoes. The meat had an excessive amount of fat and gristle and it seemed that half of what we got was left behind on the plate. For dessert we split a tiramisu which wasn't tiramisu, instead it was marscapone with a Carmel sauce and a cinnamon crunch topping. It was good but not what we expected. We sat directly in front of the grill which was cool watching the grill master at work. Waitstaff were very nice. Overall, I've had better steaks and chops.

So happy that prime rib was on the menu, but when I ordered it, it came more of a rib eye which is typically my favorite. But I got teased with the "prime rib." Generous portions; see pictures. Cooked to order, but it was not cooked medium rare IMO. After a few rare bites, I asked for the chef to throw it back on the grill. It was still too rare when it came back, but by then, I was just too hungry. Lastly and most importantly, it was tough, like how can a rare steak be tough?!? I had the hardest time cutting it even with a steak knife. The rice with teriyaki sauce was good. I might try this at home next time. The veggies were okay. My wife got a chicken plate - Again, generous portions and cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy. My wife enjoyed her salad (very bitter) and veggies. She gave her meal 5 stars. Oh, and my wife had so many leftovers she will not need lunch tomorrow. Ambiance - Got a great table next to the chef. Then the heat from the oven was too much for my wife. I guess they noticed it and moved us a few tables back. Thank you. Service - Not sure if we got here too early (7pm), but our waitress was late coming to work. It took forever for the waitress to take our order. But she did come back several times to check on us. I had to ask for extra water, etc. Price - 54 Euros, $63US; reasonably priced for a steak house. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.
