We asked for the dessert menu, but they told us that they needed to turn over the table within 10 minutes so we could not have dessert and had to get the check. I have never had an experience like this before in ANY country. Clearly they are a tourist trap and they just want to turn over tables. If you would like a real French experience, stay far away. We live in Nice and I've never had service like this. I would like to give this restaurant, the worst review of my life.

We skipped appetizers as we were getting massages in an hour. She had a veggie burger and I took a chance with the (new to me) duck burger. Both were awesome. Mine was not dry at all, the truffle sauce was a great complimenting condiment. I don't give many 5 star reviews, but they hit all the points: The place,the staff and the food were great. Would absolutely recommend and return- wishing you continued success!

The seating is in this beautiful courtyard with stone and greenery surrounding it. The menus were placed around every table, written in chalk but they had an option to use a QR code to look at the options with pictures. We started off the night eating the octopus that was pan seared and served in a lemony, herb sauce. It was at this time, my eyes rolled to the back of my head! So good!! I also ordered the scallop risotto with Parmesan and truffles. Omg! It almost had this floral taste to it, but I'm guessing that was all the truffles? Either way it was mouth watering and I would 100% come back. The service was great, we were sat right away and our waiter helped us with choosing options that were the best for us. 10/10 experience!

We arrived when it opened with reservations at 7 pm. Nobody came to see us for 40 minutes even though a group of waiters were standing and talking to each other. I asked them if any was our waiter and a man named naive said he was. I asked why he wasn't waiting on us and he didn't respond. I told him on the way over to our table that he was not doing a good job. That he shouldn't be standing around talking while customers were waiting. He said I was being "curt". I asked to see the manager and a very young guy came out in a tee shirt. WhenI explained the issue he said he would assign a new waitress. She came out promptly and took our drink order and I thought all would be well. I am not going to write all the details. but when we finally got our meals it was disappointing. I had to chase the new waitress to pay the bill before we received the dessert we paid for. There were a lot go people there so maybe our experience was not typical.

What a fantastic meal! Their menu is written on a chalkboard and while it is not a large menu, everything we had was delicious.

It seems like they only take bookings via phone so you can ask your hotel to help! Anyway, we swung by for lunch and they told us they were fully booked. We asked if we could sit outdoors (it was set up but it had rained in the morning) and they said sure! Food wise, we shared an app, 2 mains and a dessert. The appetizers was Courgette flowers (Zucchini Blossoms) with ricotta cheese inside; there was this acidic mouse in the middle - a very refreshing and delightful dish! I don't see courgette much in the US so I'm glad I tried it. For the mains, we had the local trout and the braised pork cheeks with polenta. The trout was fresh, and paired nicely with a variety of different veggies. The stew was very warm and hearty and also not too salty. For dessert, we tried the tiramisu which was tasty but nothing to write home about. The waitress that served us was very friendly as well! Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend trying it on your trip to Nice :)

How could you eat here and not give it 5 stars?…read more We walked by earlier this week and saw this place received a Michelin awards a few years in a row. We have no restaurants in philly that have that. So we made reservations. Before anything started they brought us out small shot glasses of asparagus soup with tiny spoons. It was gone. Quickly but man was it good. Menu is just a chalkboard the carry from table to table. Guess that means it's just always changing. We got three starters. Duck liver, something egg and the tuna tartare. I tried all of them and they were spectacular. Even the liver which I do not generally like. The break basket just keeps getting refilled all night long. So don't worry about leaving hungry. For my main meal I got the fresh lobster linguini. Let me tell you.... I was never a huge fan of lobster but my mom grew up in Maine so I've reintroduced myself to it these past few years. Maybe I just grew up eating sh*t Lobster. When prepared right it can really knock your socks off. For desert I got the Nice Coffee. This was espresso, lemon sorbet and a cookie. A really great combination. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. It can be hard when you don't speak any French! Perfect noise level. I don't think any music was playing. I 408 euros for 4 people. There was a bottle of wine and mixed drinks in there too. So I don't think that's terrible.
