Average food. Escargot and chocolate torte was good. Trout was overdone. Sea bass was not listed as being served whole fish so my friend had to send back. Probably best to note this on menu . Wine list could be improved- average wines.

The stake was not properly prepared, sent it back, and was now overcooked. I don't like to complain, especially since the waitresses was so nice and tried to accommodate me.
