Overhyped over priced.
The service was slow but kind.  The food presentation nice but food on the cold side by the time it got to our table.  The taste is rather bland.

Loved the food and buzzy atmosphere in this restaurant. Location near La Madeleine church also very convenient.
We had the menu du jour which was delicious and great value. Clearly lots of French office workers at other tables thought so too.
Red burgundy on offer by the glass was top class.
Would recommend. Easy to book online.

Such a shame that the bad service overshadows the otherwise amazing culinary experience.

Reserved for 5 people, pre-ordered the 4 course menu, just to find out it's not available. Why don't you call or text before? You had my details with the booking.

No aperitif offered, no Cocktails available besides GnT? Came at 7PM and the staff was so not happy to serve us, which we clearly felt. We had to ask 3 times for the sommelier just to have her come over chewing gum and asking what we want.

Food orders were mixed up, how can that be with literally one table to serve and 3 people having fish, 2 people having steak. Impressive to get it wrong.

I'd come back of you rethink your service concept. For now you can kiss a potential star rating goodbye.

It really destroyed the evening.

Good luck 🤞

Not good enough. Price quality low. Staff looked a little uninterested. No vegetables were served by the main dish. We asked 3x to order wine. Service can be a lot better.
