"We arrived just after 7pm and the man asked if we had a reservation. I said no. He proceeded to sit us anyway. We followed him as he said "table for two with no reservation" over and over again... until he pointed us to the perfect table: fan over our heads, water station fountain beside us, a view of the garden terrace and the outdoor fire grill. A garland of lights lite up our spot and we were very comfortable.
The food was delicious, the cocktails refreshing and the service was fantastic. The ambiance was superb! I really appareciated the feeling of "getting out of" the hustle and bustle of the city. I'm glad we zipped by this place on the petit train. Otherwise, I would have never found this restaurant. My husband very much appreciated the in house digestif at the end of the meal."

"Everything was wonderful. The staff was quick and attentive even tho they had a packed restaurant (that they didn’t anticipate) the atmosphere is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The food was AMAZING. We don’t speak French but they spoke English and made everything very easy for us to understand.
Outstanding restaurant!"
