This place was an absolutely wonderful find. It's small, rustic, and very welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

We arrived 30 min early for our 7pm reservation but were seated and enjoyed cocktails while the…read moregrill and coals were getting to temp. Grilling begins at 7, not before. We started with the burrata appetizer which was creamy perfection. For our mains we had the Prime rib and the Lamb chops. Both were cooked how we liked. They were seasoned well and had excellent flavor. We had a delicious side of creamy whipped potatoes. The meat had an excessive amount of fat and gristle and it seemed that half of what we got was left behind on the plate. For dessert we split a tiramisu which wasn't tiramisu, instead it was marscapone with a Carmel sauce and a cinnamon crunch topping. It was good but not what we expected. We sat directly in front of the grill which was cool watching the grill master at work. Waitstaff were very nice. Overall, I've had better steaks and chops.

3.5 Stars rounded up…read more Quality/Quantity - Craved a steak today and found this place on Google. So happy that prime rib was on the menu, but when I ordered it, it came more of a rib eye which is typically my favorite. But I got teased with the "prime rib." Generous portions; see pictures. Cooked to order, but it was not cooked medium rare IMO. After a few rare bites, I asked for the chef to throw it back on the grill. It was still too rare when it came back, but by then, I was just too hungry. Lastly and most importantly, it was tough, like how can a rare steak be tough?!? I had the hardest time cutting it even with a steak knife. The rice with teriyaki sauce was good. I might try this at home next time. The veggies were okay. My wife got a chicken plate - Again, generous portions and cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy. My wife enjoyed her salad (very bitter) and veggies. She gave her meal 5 stars. Oh, and my wife had so many leftovers she will not need lunch tomorrow. Ambiance - Got a great table next to the chef. Then the heat from the oven was too much for my wife. I guess they noticed it and moved us a few tables back. Thank you. Service - Not sure if we got here too early (7pm), but our waitress was late coming to work. It took forever for the waitress to take our order. But she did come back several times to check on us. I had to ask for extra water, etc. Price - 54 Euros, $63US; reasonably priced for a steak house. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

You could throw your chair in the fire, a donkey rode through the dining area and fireworks went off while a duo sang romantic Spanish tunes. The pirate would cut the top of the wine bottle off with a flourish of his cutlass and pour you a glass. Of course the food was great too. When we arrived in Menton we were told the restaurant had closed down and the property was for sale. We drove to the restaurant anyways and were thrilled to see it was still open by the Pirates son Ricardo who was closing up for the evening. And there was a menu with very reasonable prices. We made reservations for the following Friday for me and my teenage son and daughter. The location by the sea is unbeatable. We parked out front on the street in a reserved spot around 8:30. There was a couple there before us and we could see their shrimp and sardines (a specialty) were on the grill as we walked in. We started with sardines and shrimp, both delicious. My son had the grilled duck leg that was fall off the bone delicious. My lobster was grilled to perfection with an accompaniment of nicely spiced grilled eggplant and red pepper in olive oil. Our ice cream dessert was a perfect finish to a memorable evening even though we didn't throw our chairs into the fire.
