"Решили с мужем сходить в мишленовский ресторан, оценить кухню и полюбоваться завораживающим видом. При бронировании просят данные кредитной карты, без них не получится, но ничего не блокируют. Ехали из Канн, дорога красивая, живописная, место по достоинству невероятной красоты, только по одной этой причине можно сюда приехать. Сам ресторан находится при одноименном пятизвездочном отеле, все очень нарядно, утонченно, не придраться. Теперь о самом ресторане, меню и ценах. Внутри красиво все, но как в театре или музее, скучно. Тихо, миллион официантов, сомелье и прочих. Столиков немного, ты у всех на виду. Публика в основном взрослая, французская. Меню как и полагается в ресторанах такого уровня не обширное. Разделено на 4 графы: овощи, рыба, мясо и десерты. Муж выбрали цветы цуккини с абрикосами, я - артишоки с чёрной икрой, на горячее взяла морского окуня, муж- кролика. Еда- без какого-либо восторга. Перегружена подача, миллион цветов в тарелке, обязательно заливают бульоном, выглядит не эстетично, да и не могу сказать честно, что вкусно! Скорее необычно. Перед подачей блюд приносят 5-6 комплиментов, фирменный лимонный хлеб, кстати, как мы поняли, шеф-повар любитель всего лимонного, так как этот ингредиент присутствовал практически везде. После этих аппетайзеров мы уже наелись) муж брал ещё вино. Итого- счёт порядка 500 евро за 4 блюда, бокал вина, воду и тд. Судите сами)"

"This was our second visit to Chateau Eza, the first a couple of years ago. Standards have definitely slipped in that time. Don't get me wrong, the food was lovely and the views are priceless, but when you're spending over 400€ on a lunch for two somehow it's the little things that make the difference. On arrival we were told that strong winds were coming so we had to sit inside. But we had a drink outside on the terrace in 35°C temperatures in direct sun - of course the parasols had been removed for safety, but there was no breeze at all, let alone the "Force 8 or 9" gales supposedly forecast. Two years ago our aperitifs were accompanied by exquisite canapés, each of which was an artform. Now we got 2 bowls of nuts and raisins and some olives. Moving inside we were lucky to sit by an open window, but it was hot and airless, still no sign of the winds. There is no air conditioning (or if so it wasn't turned on) despite a wall of south-facing plate glass windows. Fab for the views, but not the heat. We selected from the à la carts menu as the fixed price choices just didn't appeal for various reasons. After a crab Amuse Bouche (literally a teaspoonful), my husband's crab starter was lovely, but my white asparagus and lobster was tasteless. Disappointing for over 50€. We both chose yellowtail (a local white fish) with artichoke with a saffron sauce which was lovely. I had a chocolate dessert which was just OK and husband skipped dessert. A bottle of wine from the lower end of the menu was 95€. But whilst the food was good (if not epic) the service was poor. The staff were perfectly pleasant, but inattentive. Our wine was placed out of reach in a cooler, but I had to get up to serve it myself when our glasses emptied. And water was just plonked on the table, not served after the first poured glass. The ambience in the restaurant was also not 5* either - most tables were groups, all with selfie sticks, and most playing with their phones throughout. One even had earphones in! A couple of tables seemed to be families - one table of 6 had only 1 person eating whilst the rest drank water and the toddler slept in his chair. I know this is not the fault of the restaurant, but it's a shame standards have slipped in the clientele. Maybe I'm wrong expecting a 400€ meal to be more of an event? I felt overdressed in my smart dress compared to others. After our meal we asked to go out to the terrace for another drink. The parasols had reappeared (as the gales hadn't) but we had to ask twice for one to be positioned by our table. And I had to go inside twice - after our original request outside - for a cocktail menu. Again, the ambience was spoilt by groups who seem to just come for a drink to take photos of the view. One table of "lads" were dressed in football shirts, and one of them was topless. At least he had a tanned 6-pack not a beer belly!"

"I arrived at the hotel quite late and the moment I walked in the room I noticed the unmistakable aroma of sewage. I immediately reached out to Geoff via WhatsApp as he had asked me to do if I needed anything and politely asked if there was another room available that I could switch to. It was about 11pm. His response to this was suggest I find another hotel to stay in. I told him I was already in bed and would prefer to stay put (almost midnight now) but he responded by saying, “Im sorry but you will not be staying at the auberge”. He then sent me his location, told me to wait outside on the patio, and said he was driving from Nice to pick me up and take me back to Nice with him in his car. This is a man mind you who I had never met. For context I am from the US and speak very little French, don’t have a cellular plan in France, and traveled to the hotel on foot (also I had previously mentioned to Geoff that I was traveling by foot). A hotel that is in the middle of nowhere and a good 1 hour 45 minutes by foot (my mode of transport) to the nearest town that would have a hotel with an attendant past midnight. My options as I saw it were: 1. Stay in the room and try to argue with a man who I didn’t know, didn’t seem rational, and had just driven 20 minutes in the middle of the night to evict me. 2. Pay for an extremely expensive taxi at that time of night and location to somewhere else to stay which I hadn’t budget for. 3. Take a chance riding to a strange city in a strangers car who again didn’t seem rational. 4. Walk the 1 hour 45 minutes to Monaco where a hotel would cost significantly more money. I chose option 4, leaving before Geoff could get to my room to avoid any possible altercation and arrived at my new hotel by foot, walking down pitch black roads and even steep gravel pathways down to mountain from Eze to the coast. I arrived at 2:09am. I got a message later from Geoff stating that there was jasmine in the room and I was likely mistaking the smell of jasmine flowers for sewage. This was almost laughable had it not been such a long day. Do not stay here and if you do, do not bring up any problem with your room to Geoff!"
