The service was fantastic and the decor was beautiful. We were expecting the crepes to be bigger, As I am gluten intolerant, I was hoping that the crepes would be made out of buckwheat. Unfortunately I could not order any of those options and they all sounded delicious! The ocean trout salad was very nice.

We enjoyed the service today. Wait staff were very friendly. The main course food took a long time to come as it was busy. It would be good to put some noise absorbing materials as the restaurant with its hard surfaces was very loud. The people were great, food nice wine nice and the view outstanding.
