    One of the best steaks I ever had. It was perfectly cooked and juicy. Staffs were friendly and good.

    So we had just showed up and checked into our hotel and was in need for food. We needed something to eat and we were lucky to just stumble across this place . We walked in and right from the start we knew we had made a great choice. The lady whom we assume was the manager on duty was quick to greet us and get us seated. The inside was very charming. The menu was full of great choices. We choose to do the Nachos which had a great taste and fresh chips. Then we split the Steak House burger as well as the Ravioli. Both was wonderful and a must try. Our server Leslie was wonderful and very patient with us non speaking French people. She took care of everything and made us feel very welcome

    Loved the steak. Had the lunch menu which is very good. The dessert is very delicious, and the portion is quite a lot for one person.

    Excellent service from the happy young team; steak was perfect, fries average. Wine OK but expensive.

    PERFECT chateaubriand, medium rare, with ratatouille and a side salad. Do try the dessert options that let you taste samples of several with coffee: The chocolate mousse is velvety, the strawberry soup was tart and sweet, and the bourbon-flavored crème brûlée was delicious. My husband had the plate with the mousse, crème brûlée, a brownie with chantilly cream, yogurt with a berry sauce, and baked plums with crumbles, and he was just as pleased. Our server, Elisa, was extra nice and recommended good wine and menu choices. We felt very welcomed and cared for.

    Waitresses come too fast, not giving us the time to think or choose. They came to bill us before we were even finished.

    Good service from the lovely waitress we had, however the food was very disappointing. Fish and chips were ok although the fries were on the cold side. The chicken wings were mediocre and the ceaser’s salad was a joke - the lettuce was not fresh at all, with a tiny amount of salad dressing and extremely dry chicken. It was off-putting to look at, let alone eat! It’s tempting to eat at this place because it’s close to the train station and hotels, but save your money and find somewhere good!

    We're waiting 50 min from order to discover that our new-zeland fillet steak (40 euro) medium-well was lower than rare and uncooked. And then we waited another 15 minutes. In all this sitting no one from waiters never come to our table. We didn't like the meat, but maybe it's french style: no sault and no pepper on meat. This is my 2nd visit and last one. The athmosphere is greate, but i came to eat. P.S.: check came very fast.

  • 5/5 Monique Bernardes F. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and really delicious food!! We were searching very last minute for a place to eat before catching a train on the 31/12, and were lucky to find them. The vegetarian burgers are a must try!!

    Worse service ever. Stay way from this place. Manager Marie was the most distasteful. Never coming back. Keep you money and spend it elsewhere

    The worst steak place I’ve ever tried, the salad looked so old and tasted horrible!! Very expensive with a low quality food. Really disappointed!!

    I had the rotisserie chicken with salad and it was fantastic. So fresh and delicious for a decent price. They had a nice variety on their menu. The customer service was very good too.
