"We had dinner in the beautiful garden, arriving at around 20:30 - it was quite busy with lots of atmosphere. Excellent, friendly & attentive service from the charming staff. Menu is fairly short but with interesting and diverse dishes. No aspect of the service was slow (as some have commented below), all dishes arrived at the right sort of pace (so not rushed either) and the quality, freshness & flavours were all wonderful. We can thoroughly recommend this restaurant - 10 out of 10 in all respects."

"A wonderful setting with a varied menu. The starter choice was very interesting and diverse. The main courses lacked a little in terms of hot choices but the Côte de Boeuf we shared was impeccable. The wine menu is short but the Bandol we chose was delicious. The single waiter was lovely and polite but became a little stretched as the night got busier."
