A few of us tried the fish soup based on recommendations. I found that pretty tasty too. Not a lot of English spoken here, but we either spoke enough bad French or they understood enough English for us to make our way through the evening.

After fighting to get a table (no in winter I do not choose to eat on the bench outside) we got the hostess to understand that a table in 30 minutes was a better response than no table at all. The food was so worth it! The starter of Crab Bisque was divine. The fish special paice on a bed of spinach and crushed Jersey Royal was just melt in your mouth good. My partner's starter did not live to the tempura expectations, but his garlic lobster was to die for! A nice crisp South African Chardonnay to accompany the meal was all that was required. Did not reach for the Tabasco once as the flavors were just divine. Had to top it off with some Jersey soft serve ice-cream! This is what a good meal is all about. PS: the service is not bad, just a bit of "lost in translation".

The fish was not fresh and it was not seasoned well. For the first time in my life I retuned the fish to the kitchen. Reluctantly they provided me a different choice. The service was cold except for one person, and we seemed have a constantly changing cast of waiters, so unfortunately the good waiter did not attend to us for long. I ordered the strawberries and mascarpone for desert and it was unremarkable. All in all a disappointment.

La Citadelle is a cut above : clean, friendly, popular, oysters and other standards a bit pricier but quality way above the norm, a number of non-usual choices.

It is a shame that a restaurant that (according to TripAdvisor and Yelp) is standing out lacks in a proper front of house management. I had the feeling that all waitresses including the hostess are 16 year old brats wearing (way too) short black skirts and trying to earn some money during their summer break from school. Far from a professional service experience. They were chatting and (I guess) gossiping whenever they were waiting for food coming out of the kitchen ... the service just lacked a professional management. It is a shame when that happens to a restaurant with a good chef. It once again shows that a great Back of House isn't everything, or in other words that a bad Front of House can ruin the entire dining experience.

We actually wanted to go back our last night here, but didn't, it was that good. One of the popular menu items in the area is oysters. You can't find any more fresh than this! My husband and I were with another couple, and ordered oysters, mussels, fish soup and white fish (merlu). It was the prix fixe menu where you get three courses for one price. It was a bargain for what we got. Food was delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful. The wine was as good as the dinner. In fact, when we got back to the US we looked for the same wine we had here and couldn't find it. My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant!

This seems like a family run establishment. The inside feels like you are on a boat. Now on to the juicy details. When in Brittany one must get some seafood. We sure got out share with a seafood platter, Cancale oysters, and house smoked salmon. On the appetizer platters you get 2 oysters, 4 shrimps, periwinkles, snails, and mini shrimps. I really liked the periwinkles. For the mains we got charcroute of the sea which was sauerkraut with fish and shrimp which was surprising delicious. We also tried the lamb dish which was tender and seasoned to perfection! Lastly we tried the mussels which were savory and tender! Dessert came with our meal. We were disappointed in the Cream Caramel. The crepe was good. But the real star was the kourig amann with buckwheat ice cream! YUM!
