"We decided to try based on tripadvisor reviews. While it was a lovely setting, peaceful restaurant with lovely views over the marina, we felt it was very expensive for what it was. We went with two small children....possibly our mistake......but we have been to...other high end restaurants that have made us feel much more relaxed about having our children there. Although the staff weren't unfriendly, there was a definite feeling from both the staff and other diners that our children were spoiling their experience, although they were infact pretty well behaved. The restaurant had a nice feel to it, and possibly some of the dishes would have been very nice. The food was certainly well presented, but it was so expensive! We felt that some restaurants on this particular area of the coast do not try so hard to make their food tasty because they have an audience that buys into the prestige and oppulence of the French Riviera and seem to be happy to pay very high prices for nice, but not outstanding food. I had fillet steak, which was cooked nicely and tasty enough, well presented, but not as delicious as I would've expected for euros. I know it's all cordon bleu and posh presentation, but when we're talking chips, I just found it quite funny that my portion was literally or chips balanced on top of one another. I don't mind posh cuisine and tasty little morsels, but chips are chips and arranging them into a little criss cross design doesn't make up for the fact that there are only of them! My hubby had cod because it was a cheaper option, but when I tried it it was pretty tasteless. Again, nicely presented on the place, but really lacking in flavour. He was pretty disappointed. The desert was very nice, but again, very expensive. We felt a bit robbed and think it's a shame when places take advantage of their audience being influenced by the general rule expensive good and decide to put less effort in because they know lots of people will believe something is good if they're told that is the case and if the price reflects it. I'm not saying the restaurant was poor or that they hadn't put effort into the presentation or service, but just that the tastiness of the food did not reflect the very high price of it. But I don't think this is just this restaurant, but is actually the case with lots of places in this area as it is an expensive area and there are always going to be people who are happy to pay those prices for that food. Personally, we'd rather drive further to somewhere like Aix-en-Provence and go to one of the little restaurants there which are cheaper, but also tastier because they have to put in more effort to get people in."
