It was…read moreclosed when I called for a reservation (recommended) I left a message and they called me right back within 10 minutes . They close between lunch and dinner . We saw the lunch menu that is 3 course for 21 euros. When we arrived we discovered it was the regular menu and a blackboard of specials . We thought it was going to push us to spend more ,but the blackboard was such good pricing . All the entrees came with a 2 sides. The au gratin potatoes were amazing and the ratatouille. A ribeye steak was under 30euros and was at least 12-14 oz done to perfection . Flame grilled ,well seasoned . Whole filet white fish was also flame grilled /perfect!! We also ordered the linguine vongole. 1 lb of small clams was the n my bowl 25 euros. And then the desserts . Large beautiful servings and presentation. There is a case to view the selections. Strawberry shortcake, apple compote on a Belgian waffle / whipped cream. Sorbets , lemon meringue pie,and a raspberry fruit with whipped cream in lady fingers.(like English Tryfle) the whipped cream stood tall like whipped butter. I need to go again just for desserts! Each couple only spent less than 70 Euros. This was our first restaurant with no English on the menu . It was our best experience because their staff was patient. We all enjoyed our visit there. Also there is a major locker of aged steaks. Perfection and some steaks designed for 2 people to Share . Under 65 euros for 2 peeps . I think a family of 4 could share and have room for dessert! We can't wait to come back again. The place has many tables that can be pushed together for large parties or intimate booths and an outside patio decorated with lampshade and a view of rooftops looking up(like Mary Poppins). So charming.

We were seated on the terrace, which was heated and closed in with nice clear plastic windows and heated. Service was shall we say "relaxed", but was friendly and efficient. I had probably the nicest calamari I have ever had from their tapas menu, deep fried in very light batter and without a hint of rubberiness. I followed that up with lamb chops which were wonderful. The meal was completed by a great chocolate cake and pistachio ice crem dessert. HIghly recommended.

It has a zippered transparent section that can be opened in nicer weather. Still some nice touches to make it feel elegant. We got a set menu each, she got the slow cooked (7 hour braised) lamb and I got the Normandy style chicken in apple cider sauce, a local specialty. Both were excellent. The lamb was nice and tender and the chicken was moist and flavorful without having the sauce overwhelm the chicken. The desserts were outstanding. The region is known for their apples, so the apple pastry is the chefs creation. The pastry itself looked and tasted like the fine pastry found in baklava. Overall it was very delicious. This place can get busy, so a reservation is recommended. We got lucky and got there right when they opened and were able to get squeezed in.

The food was great but as the owner was closing to go on a trip the menu was limited. We had the…read moreveal and the lamb and both came with potatoes au gratin which were perfect.

Our pizza, which was called, Alter Ego, wS excellent, ask for the the spicy oil for an extra umph! We noticed mussels at the table nearby that was thoroughly enjoyed by two young ladies. Our apple everything crepe for dessert, was over the top and I had to fight my friend for the scraps. 5 stars all the way baby! Water views and convenient parking, you can beat this location.
