Trusted reviews

• John Talbott (2010) “The 4 servers often seemed more akin to the ladies in the store downstairs who enjoy talking about last night’s date, than hustling to serve 14 customers.”
• Le Figaro (2010) “L’ensemble n’est pas mal fichu même si, comme souvent lorsque l’appétit se pique d’altitude, les vertiges d’environnement viennent chiper la vedette à l’assiette.”
