Restaurant with a good atmosphere and lots of charm. The owner is perfect and jovial. He makes an effort to speak all languages and likes the French. Perfect food! Perfect service! There were 7 of us and we have fond memories of the place. The wine is excellent.

Initial email said tickets could take up to six hours. I only had that day. Then we called and he said the tickets had been issued. It should be an instantaneous process. Other than that easy !
