"We read this was under new management but decided to take our chances, since we enjoyed dining on the terrace on sunny days in past seasons.We arrived early without a reservation but they found us a table (best to reserve if you want to sit outside on a sunny afternoon). Service was a bit slow to get going but they were trying really hard. I think some of the staff are same as previous seasons but there seemed to be lots of discussions about who was doing what! No matter, we were enjoying New Year's Day drinks in the sunshine.The buffet lunch spread has gone but there is still a dessert buffet option. The menu is limited but appetising - lobster half and whole, steaks, fish stew of the day etc. Prices are quite steep, but it's a panoramic terrace so to be expected in megeve. The kids can choose between fish, chicken breast and burger (15 euros). And the best news ..... The food was surprisingly good! We tried the monk fish fish stew which came with potato gratin (very good) , half lobster which came with lovely potato purée and some whelks (not a fan, would have preferred more lobster). Kids plates were great - very nicely cooked fresh fillet of fish and frites and a fresh chicken breast with a creamy sauce with lardons which my son loved (welcome departure from the usual nuggets on nearly every Menu in town). It would have been considerate of the kitchen to remove the bones in the child's fish as there were many and I had to do that for my daughter. Also, I would rejoice to see a few vegetables on the children's plates. Main dishes are served with sides but I see there are extra vegetable portions and potato dishes that can be ordered. We were there early so saw a lot of food for other tables pass by and all looked very good - especially the steaks and starter sharing plate. Desserts were a very good deal and I hope they continue with the buffet idea and generous portions! You can buy singly but we chose 3 desserts st 19 Euris to share and they were delicious.So, all in all, this looks very promising and if they build on this, I think it could turn out better than the previous restaurant (I was never a fan of the previous overpriced savoury buffet anyway). We shall be back.Also, there is a separate burger van (monkey diner has migrated up the slopes) at the end of the terrace where you can sit at a few tables and deck chairs. Great idea and seemed to be busy.Interesting to see how this will develop over the season. Good luck! We asked for a card with the new details - there wasn't one?! Might be a good idea....!"
