| - I went with my significant other for our anniversary on the advice of a colleague.
Spectacular setting, very nice live music, efficient and friendly service.
The ambiance started to get a little annoying when we realized that we had to raise our voices to have a conversation, as the voices of other diners rebound on the walls.
The food is really average: salads, crêpes and pizza...
We had fried calamari: the bits were clumped together and served with and unappetizing sweet hot sauce that had stayed too long on a counter (it had dried a bit).
A spinach and strawberry salad that was completely ruined by a *vanilla* yogurt dressing.
The same sweet vanilla flavoured crêpe will be filled indifferently with a sweet or a savoury filling. I am really not sure about vanilla and veal blanquette (what is it with you and vanilla, people?).
The duck shepherd's pie (paté chinois) was disappointingly bland, barely saved by the really good home made ketchup and beets that were served on the side.
The check finished to kill the experience: 100$ for two for just starters and entrées, no dessert, three drinks (no wine) and an espresso, that's a bit steep.
We had a really good time, but this place (restaurant?) has absolutely nothing to do with it.
I guess it's an OK place for a drink with friends. For the gastronomic experience, at that price, there are better places in that area.
