Everything was of the highest quality and so artistically presented. The duck confit egg rolls were delicate. The veal was so tender and the flavor was perfection.

Our group of nine chose the 15.50 lunch formule, which included chilled cream of crustacian soup (lobster, langoustine and shrimp were all in the mix), or mille feuille de tomate avec mozzarella et basiliac (basically a caprese salad served in a squat tower - delicious and pleasing on the eye. Mains were filet of dourado with creamed leeks or mequez a la plancha - we all had the dorado and were delighted - followed by a choice of desserts - ice cream, rice pudding, tiramisu or goat cheese. Add a carafe of rose and the bill came to 110 euros (three of our party had the 8 euro kids menu). The waiter was incredibly patient and spoke good English. This place is a little gem.

We spent the late afternoon visiting the Chateau and the village down the hill. We opted for this…read morerestaurant as it had some simple and some more gourmet offerings. On balance, the food was good and of high quality. The service was reasonably fast and the waiter and staff were cordial and did not seem too put off by my somewhat mediocre French. However, when it came to getting the bill and paying it, it was very convoluted and complex. After about two weeks in France, I had come to expect very little in the way of service and really probably tipped too much at many places where we dined. To make a long story short, I asked our waiter for l'addition and he told me(in French) that I needed to go inside to get the check. The bartender who was running all of the credit cards had a really tough time finding our bill and our waiter was not much help (for identification purposes, I did not know his name but he looked like a French Drew Carrey) as he never once offered to help is colleague, choosing to allow him to struggle and eventually handed things off to the owner who was successful in finding our bill. Too bad there is not more of an emphasis on service on the part of the waiter as this never would have happened in most good restaurants in the US and this only really happened here while we were in France. Don't let this scare you. This restaurant is quite good, the owner and most of the staff were quite nice but the waiter sort of ruined the experience being so detached from helping us get and pay our bill. En Français Nous avons passé la fin de l'après-midi à visiter le château et le village en bas de la colline. Nous avons opté pour ce restaurant car il proposait des offres simples et plus gourmandes. Au final, la nourriture était bonne et de grande qualité. Le service était assez rapide et le serveur et le personnel étaient cordiaux et ne semblaient pas trop rebutés par mon français un peu médiocre. Cependant, quand il s'agissait d'obtenir la facture et de la payer, c'était très compliqué et complexe. Après environ deux semaines en France, je m'attendais à très peu de services et je pensais vraiment trop à de nombreux endroits où nous dînions. Pour faire une longue histoire, j'ai demandé l'addition à notre serveur et il m'a dit (en français) que je devais aller à l'intérieur pour obtenir le chèque. Le barman qui gérait toutes les cartes de crédit avait vraiment du mal à trouver notre facture et notre serveur n'a pas beaucoup aidé (à des fins d'identification, je ne connaissais pas son nom mais il ressemblait à un français Drew Carrey) aider est un collègue, en choisissant de lui permettre de se débattre et a finalement remis les choses au propriétaire qui a réussi à trouver notre facture. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas plus d'emphase sur le service de la part du serveur car cela ne serait jamais arrivé dans la plupart des bons restaurants aux États-Unis et cela ne s'est vraiment produit que lorsque nous étions en France. Ne laissez pas cela vous effrayer. Ce restaurant est assez bon, le propriétaire et la plupart des membres du personnel étaient plutôt sympas mais le serveur en quelque sorte gâché l'expérience d'être si détaché de nous aider à obtenir et à payer notre facture.
