    The restaurant makes a strong first impression: a round mahogany table adorned with beautiful flowers welcomes you at the entrance, and our waiter—from Stoke Newington, London—had charm and personality to match the setting. The menu was explained in detail, and our order was taken with apparent care. Unfortunately, it was then partially forgotten, and what did arrive left much to be desired. The oysters were small, tired, and bland. The steak lacked a proper sear, seasoning, and flavour, and the duck confit tasted as though it had been prepared days earlier. In the end, this was a perfect example of a place that talks the talk but cannot walk the walk.

    Outstanding! Feel I’m back in Normandy with a bake chicken, carrots, mashed potatoes and great wine! Been many times and plan to return! Arthur and team do an outstanding job!

    The endive salad was great - anytime I see a salad with white anchovies I I have to have it! The endive was crisp and delicate. The escargot were good, served with gluten-free bread to accommodate me. My server Michael also brought me some gluten-free bread with the house butter, which if I remember correctly was a whipped honey butter with black sesame seeds and black lava salt. For my entree I had the steak (medium rare) and frites. The steak was so good that when I returned to my B&B I finished my leftovers. There was a generous helping of truffle fries which were decent as fries go but I couldn't pick up on much truffle. The ambiance of the restaurant is candle-lit and romantic - a wonderful place for an anniversary or other special occasion. I felt underdressed in jeans and a blouse but was welcomed anyway. My server was very friendly and checked on me often.
