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 were told all tables inside were reserved, however there appeared to be 3-4 two-top tables that were not occupied. We had to request a wine menu upon being seated. We ordered quickly and the food was fine! Having spent 5 days in Nice, there were other restaurants we visited with much friendlier and attentive service. That being said, the entrees were ok! If we were to visit Nice again, I would likely opt for a different dining experience.

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.

Very good first dinner in Nice. We made reservations ahead of time and were glad we did. This is a…read moresmall restaurant (as most in the area are). One thing I loved about this place (and several others nearby) is that the chef cares more about the quality of each dish than he does about turnover rates. This is really what makes a meal special, and what separates a good restaurant from a great one. He seemed to care a lot about each dish that left the kitchen. With that being said, I liked the menu, as it was smaller but still offered enough options for everyone. We ordered the braided fish and the steak, and both were delicious. The standout for me was the strawberry merengue that we ordered for dessert. We almost didn't get dessert (not a huge merengue fan) but have never seen a menu item like this so we figured we would try it out. It was delicious! I'm talking melt in your mouth, velvety smooth delicious. Just ordered it, even if you're not a merengue fan. Service was good as well.

I ordered the classic mojito, which was incredibly refreshing and not overly sweet at all. For my meal, I had the Fritto Misto de la Mer, a crispy fried seafood platter. The breading was light, crispy, and not greasy, and it was served with tartar sauce and fresh lemon, which paired perfectly. My daughter ordered the beef tartare, and it was excellent. My husband wanted something lighter but still high in protein, so he chose the tuna salad and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere and views were beautiful, with a relaxed vacation feel that made for a wonderful evening. Between the food, service, and location, we would definitely come back.
