An oyster cleaning station is the first thing you will see just outside the entrance with a friendly oyster splitting gentleman smiling at you when entering the restaurant. Seafood is brought in daily from Brittany. The service here is professional and efficient. It depends on the waiter whether it is more on the friendly- or more on the efficient side. We had both experiences here. There is a friendly priced menu with the option of luxury foods like oysters, foie gras while paying a small extra. Other than that the menu is fixed and we were told the main course options couldn't be altered, even not with cheaper options from the menu. A little flexibility would have been nice, no deal breaker though. For starters we shared 6 No. 4 Oysters which came on ice and bread and vinaigrette with chopped shallots was served on the side. Seasoning is left to the guest, which is just the way we like it. The oyster still needs to be cut from the shell, this adds to the freshness. As a main course we had the Tartare de boeuf with fries and the Cabillaud which is cod fish fillet served with aioli sauce. The tartare was fresh and came already prepared with pickles, onions and capers, it tasted very good. The cod was served on a bed of vegetables such as pumpkin, sugar snaps, haricot vert, carrot and potato. On top was chopped black olive which complemented the fish nicely. A good selection of wines per glass, carafe or bottle. The view of the Chateau and the Theatre is stunning, in summer the terrace has the best viewpoint. Portions are reasonably large, we chose to end the meal with coffee and after we had a walk to the Chateau we fetched Italian ice-cream from the Italian ice-cream shop around the corner from the restaurant. Reservations are useful if you want a specific table. They seem to have a loyal local clientele which is always a good sign for the vacationing guest.

Summary based on visit in August 2016. Overall, this is a good semi-high end restaurant near the…read moreChateau St. Germain and the city center. Slow service and a bit of an attitude from the staff, but food was excellent quality and pricing was fair, if a bit higher than expected. We brought a group of 20 people, had a reservation and were seated fairly quickly. The restaurant is a fairly large place and located well within the city, near the city center and it's main tourist attraction the Chateau de St-Germain. They have an outside area, but we sat inside for dinner. We did kind of an attitude from the man who met us at the small-ish reception area, but it was not a big deal. Service was slow even though we were a large group. I am basing this on European standards, not American. However, they kept the drinks fresh and the waiters were very attentive overall. They ran out of my first choice, which was sea bass (filet de Par), so I had the cod (Pavé de cabillaud), which was very good. My colleagues were also very positive in their reviews of the food items. Dessert was had by many and comments were positive as well. The time to get served both was quite slow, as I mentioned.

RANK: Woohoo is right - friendly staff, outstanding food! 2 entrees, 8 glasses of wine, 2 desserts - all for $80US We had just flown in to Paris last night and were walking up and down a main drag where we were staying. There was nothing particularly wrong with what we saw, but we want something quiet and small. We had circled back and found this restaurant, with a very friendly man named Yves who invited us in. The prices were close to 1/2 that found on the main drag - that's a good thing since the dollars in bad shape. Yves recommended the fish stew and brought for dessert a sweet cream dessert with grapefruit - absolutely the best dessert so far in Europe (we've been to London, Stockholm and Bristol so far). The staff were very friendly - as well as the patrons. One of the best experiences - one of the best meals. I tipped Yves an extra 10 Euro - he wanted to make sure I understood tips **ARE TYPICALLY INCLUDED IN THE BILL IN FRANCE** - but I went ahead and gave it to him anyway. He also advised to always eat at places off the main drag - they are cheaper and better. He is right!

I was hungry and dove into everything before I thought to take pictures! My wife got the duck dish which was also fantastic! I did however remember to take a picture of my dessert Tiramisu with figs and it was sooooo good! While we were finishing our bottle of wine they brought us a couple of house made caramels....

I tried one of the humungous salads (Salade landaise - which came with thinly sliced sauteed potatoes, chicken livers, a duck leg, crispy croutons and a piece of dry cured ham E15.85). My b/f had the three course menu E26.00 which included a kir, starter, main course, dessert and coffee. There were at least 6/7 dishes to choose from in each category, but very pleased that I didn't follow suit as the salad I had was incredibly filling! (Apparently the steak with sauteed potatoes my b/f had for main was one of the most memorable steaks he had eaten!) It was followed with a rich chocolate mousse, which was not overly sweet - a perfect finish to the meal. Service was warm and friendly. I would definitely consider dining at one of their branches on a future visit.
