My wife had the mussels and each one was either tiny (yes a fingertip at most) or wasn't open. I had the perche and it was a fraction of the size from the past without much flavor.

The ambience rustic, down home, pub-ish (good cool vibe). Lots of seating, both indoor and outdoors. They have two outdoor seating areas ... the back with the 'river' view and the front is on the promenade (fun for people watching). The food was very tasty. Salmon Tartar: This was more for American' tastebuds ... mango and mango puree, generous chunks of avocado and fresh grapefruit segments. Very California. Delicious and light. Came with fries, which were a little under seasoned and cold (that was the case for all the fries we ordered as I think they make them in big batches as it's the typical accompaniment for most entrees). ESTA burger: Super flavorful, never thought of pairing it with tartar sauce. Must like tartar sauce, but if you do, YUM! The bun was toasted to perfection and held up nicely to the juice patty. Fresh green lettuce gave it the freshness and crisp too. Mussels with bacon and beer: That broth .... yum! You'd want to drink it; they give you a spoon so they know you want to drink it too. Dunk the bread into it to soak up the yummy salty, briny, addicting goodness. The mussels were plump and fresh too. Forgot the name, but its a sausage with cheese (raclette?) casserole. Salty, meaty, hearty, rich and filling. Order a side salad to cut the richness. It was very good, but I wouldn't be able to eat all of it due to how filling and cheesy it is. Good place, glad we came. Pix to come!

On warmer visits you can also sit outside on the terasse-and if you like sports they show the sports on the screens inside (without sound) so you dont need to miss the footy.

There are a few niggly issues with this restaurant but let's start with the most important thing -…read morethe food! We had the tartiflette which is a dish of potatoes, reblochon cheese, lardons and onions. It's a big gooey heavy mess but man, it's good! It's served with a green salad to make you feel virtuous and to lighten things up. Have it with a glass of red wine and you're in heaven! So the niggly bits. The seating is so tightly packed in that the waitstaff need to talk over your table to get other guests orders and then pass food over your table to get them to the right people. The people next to you can't leave without asking you to get up to let them out. It's highly annoying and not really a way to treat your guests. They also do that annoying thing is serving food on slate slabs. What happened to just using a normal plate? There is a reason plates are designed with an upturned lip. It keeps food from sliding onto the table. Regardless, the waitstaff did a great job and we had a delicious meal.

Pros: - The…read morelocation is easy to find and near the Bonlieu: - Generous servings (at least of the Provençal-style stew) means two large meals in one. Cons: - Glacial service: don't be hungry when you arrive.

(I speak French, so this was not a case of just being rude to English-speakers.) Blatant small-mindedness and ignorance of the changed world such as this made me think: are we back to the 1950s or age of dead empires? I will not be returning.

Maybe she was upset that they did't cut her pizza for her. We sat outside but under a very sturdy covering which helped reduce the crazy 100F plus days here. The server was awesome. She spoke the best English of all the restaurants this week and really helped us in our food choices. My colleague had the burger and fries. Forgot to take pic but it was amazing.
