"On a splendid sunday afternoon we managed to get a table close to the water in the sun. We ordered hamburger Nicoise, calamar a la plancha and linguini with sea food. Each had a glass of house red. The service was a bit slow the explanation being that they had just taken over the place and it was still in need of adjustment. My hamburger was well tasting and grilled as I had asked. The top bun was however too hard and the bottom too soggy. In my view a burger should be possible to consume with two hands, that is a burger. Not possible here. It was accompanied, like all dishes, with a choice of one, two or all of either potatoe gratin, polenta or fried courgettes. Not fries. The house wine was outright bad. The water was well chilled and replaced when empty without having to ask. Overall the service was really friendly and efficient. Top note for that. The coffee was ok, served with gingerbread. Our friends had tea, which was particularly nice, and chocolate mousse, light and well tasting, and a combination of another type of chocolate mousse and Apple pie, also well tasting. Seating is varied since the quality of the chairs vary, an investment is neccessary. Toilets ok but no whoaw factor. The neon sign of the restaurant is particularly misplaced in this environment, cheap and vulgar neon letters, also a thing to consider for the management of a place in one of the prettiest little ports of the Riviera."

"ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! This restaurant was by far our worst experience we have had during our month in Europe. When my fiance and I arrived, I asked the owner lady if she spoke english and she said yes. But after seating us, she refused to speak english to us and I gathered from her french that she expected us to speak French since we were in France. We ordered drinks, but then when we tried to order an entre to split since we weren't that hungry), she refused to accept our order, indicating that we had to order two meals. The menu had parts of it in english, so I picked a meat entre and something that said tomato and meat, which turned out to be a bowl of pasta with hardly any meat. Then the steak was horrendous... completely chewy and I had to spit out most of it because I couldn't chew it enough to swallow it. Then to top it all off, when we went to the front counter to pay, the lady told me 39 Euros without giving me a bill, and then when I questioned it, she raised it to 43 euros. Irritated, I told her that the quality of her steak was not good, and I think she told me that she didn't speak english and as her voice got louder she ended it all by yelling who-knows-what at us the entire time we were leaving the restaurant. This lady is highly prejudiced against English speaking people and doesn't care about customer service or quality. If you don't speak French, STAY AWAY! And if you do... well, who knows... maybe she'll give you a higher quality steak??? My fiance and I got in our only fight of our trip that night brought on my the bad energy of this whole experience. Completely HORRIBLE. : : :"
