Perfectly cooked langoustines!

We had shrimp bisque and langoustines and both did not disappoint. The langoustines were soft and juicy. Salad was fresh. Service was good. A bit pricey though.

Great food and super flavors

We two arrived there during the high season (July) without reservations and were immediately seated. We saw that larger groups were turned away. I think that it should be much easier in September.
