31/03/2026: Mixed feelings after a romantic dinner. The welcome was impeccable, the owner's attentiveness much appreciated, and the wine pairing suggestion was relevant, but the food itself was inconsistent, a mix of impressive and mediocre. In a restaurant marketed as gastronomic, one expects explosions of flavor and surprises, which wasn't quite the case this time. There's clearly ambition and skill in the kitchen, but the execution wasn't always up to our expectations. A matter of taste, of course! But I must emphasize a major disappointment with the cheese... I thought I was indulging in the Comté "tasting": €11 for a very small and tasteless portion is simply not justified. A so-called smoked Comté cheese, despite being finely sliced, was completely devoid of aroma, and there were three extra-thin slices, both in terms of quantity and cost, with absolutely no flavor or impact (in fact, the waiter told us, as they brought our plates, that it was smoked and "regular"! Very ordinary indeed, certainly not up to the standard of a fine dining establishment). To balance things out, the stuffed zucchini blossoms were incredible, and the apple soufflé was truly excellent (but the accompanying granita was rather disappointing). Overall, a pleasant experience, certainly, but the value for money (€65 per person) didn't convince us, without wanting to generalize (I'm not judging, just sharing my experience). The dining room was very comfortable but rather noisy; sit somewhere away from the noise if you're sensitive to it.
