Wonderful find. We were staying nearby and walked the boardwalk and found this jewel of a…read morerestaurant. The mussels apoear to be a specialty and you get a large pot full of mussels fixed many ways. 2 orders of mussels and one order of croquets and 2 kir royals were a reasonable price of 61 euros. Unfortunately I did not photograph. They spoke French and just a little English. Our phone translator worked well. I definitely recommend!!

Very fairly priced and with good ingredients. Typical fare of the boardwalk region with a little bit more flare. They often have lots of walkins and run late. Great for families, couples, and business groups. Nice inside and outside seating options. The wait staff speaks decent English.

The owner graciously came over to offer some assistance and recommendations. Our meal was AMAZING! Prices were great for the quality and quantity of food we received. Beautiful ambience. We regretted nothing except not speaking more French. Would recommend to any passing through or who plan to visit.

Only tip is come hungry and take your time. The profiteroles for dessert were phenomenal as well! Highly recommended- a little gem in a little town!

Both were really good and the ingredients tasted fresh (especially the eggs and creme fraiche). You can eat inside or outside. Service was friendly and quick.

Amazing experience in an unforgettable setting…read more Atmosphere/decor: Nearly identical to the black and white photos of yesteryear, this historic setting takes you back to a different time while holding an elegant and special vibe. The huge ceilings, original embossments and mouldings are gorgeous. The large windows provide a great view of the sea and boardwalk. Unfortunately it was a big humid and warm in the room but expectable with the style and culture of the place. Everyone gets seated with a view. Service: lovely old-school white glove experience. Attentive, professional, and polite. The servers have typical non-disturbing stance of European restaurants with the added attentiveness one expects of fine dining. Food: the 3-course meal was delicious and beautifully plated. Small but flavorful portions. The crab starter was one of the most gorgeous plantings I have ever seen. Unfortunately the taste was somewhat bland and did not accentuate the crab. Some might call it delicate but I think that would be a scapegoat. The lamb two ways was magnificent. I asked for medium rare and both pieces were amongst the best lamb I've had of my life. Savory, just ever so gamey, and delicates salted. The chocolate coconut dessert dish was to die for -- decadent but smooth and creamy on the tongue with a nice counterbalance or coconut flavors--coconut can often be too underwhelming or overwhelming and they balanced the presence perfectly. One of my companions had the sole (Prousts favorite) and said it was the best he'd ever had. Unfortunately the sole does not come on the 3-course menu option (understandably) and necessitates ordering other dishes separately/individually. The chariot of cheese (hah! Bravo!) allowed an unlimited amount nearly 15 local and regional cheeses. Drinks: Impressive menu of mostly French wines. Luckily a few options of by the glass purchase for those of us whose companies couldn't/don't drink. Cocktail list is nice as well as apertifs and digestifs. Pricing: the 3-course meal is a good deal in the 75-100 euro range. Drink pricing was expectable for the scale of the restaurant. Very reasonable pricing for such fine dining and service. $350 Euro for 4 people with only two of us having by the glass drinks. I recommend all try it who can and would absolutely return--even dine multiple times during a stay at the Grand Hotel if I could visit.
