Not having reservations we weren't sure we would be seated but were seated in the outside area. The evening was cool and umbrellas were raised for the setting sun. Our entrees were out standing, I had the duck breast and my husband the quail. Both were delicious and our glass of wine was full bodied. Great way to end our first night back in France.

We were happy to see a number a good reviews on Yelp and an interesting menu and decided to have dinner here. Our waiter was very friendly but did not speak much English and we speak French rather badly, but we were all able to manage just fine. I ordered the Charcuterie platter for my dinner, which was delicious. Dining companions had a chicken dish and the fish du jour. Everyone was happy with choices. Good food. Good service. I would certainly come back.

Lucky us there are enough things to do around "les machines de l'île" to wait for 1 hour. The restaurant and the view are nice.

Orange juice might be fresh pressed but coming out of bottles and didn't tasted that great! This is not not what we expected.

I had a salmon salad with beets and onion and wow... Best salad of my life. The meats are amazing, cooked just right and seasoned simply but oh so good. Then there's the potato that has some sort of cream on top ... Whoa. And last but certainly not least are the desserts a combination of fruits and chocolate and ice cream. I had the poire belle Hélène and I felt compelled to finish it all because of how good it was: oven roasted pear covered in ice cream and chocolate and topped with whipped cream and a butter cookie... Did I mention plentiful serving sizes for each of the three courses at only 20 euros??? PS it's dog friendly!!! We brought our two small doggies and had no issue being seated.
