"If you wish to have a good honest burger, I can’t think of anywhere better. Delicious meat or chicken with add on accompaniments and reasonable wine prices. I’ve been here with friends who prefer the higher end of the menu such as steaks and sea food and they are equally appreciative. Great place."

"**Intro**Before I start this review I want to explain that the menu for tonight was fixed due to a jazz event outside the restaurant. So all you could choose from was 1 of 3 dishes of a starter, main course and desert (3 dishes of 9). With so few options the results bound to be good when you can focus and do a few dishes really well. Our company had a table for 7.**Time management**We got there at 20.30 just before the jazz band started playing outside. Drinks took 15 minutes to serve and after that an additional 30 minutes for starters.After 50 additional minutes the main course was served. The deserts was served after the jazz bands session had ended at around 22.30.In terms of speedy service I would call this a disaster. Although one waiter understood that we had been waiting for almost 50 minutes she had a poor explanation for the delay "A lot of the guests wanted their deserts served but your food is coming up in five minutes."This is a great way of kindly explaining how much of a non-priority we were. 1 of 5**Food**When it comes to the food I would love to say that it was worth the wait, but it wasn't.Starter: Duck liver with caramelized apple with some kind of crushed nuts.The good: Caramelized apple and crushed nuts was very tasty. 3 of 5. The bad: Duck liver had a spoungy texture and tasted very little to nothing. A bit of salt would probably save the taste and I could have given it a decent 3,5-4 maybe.Main Course: Fish in tomato sauce with ruccola.The good: At least the fish was fresh.The bad: This was nothing worth remembering. I feel so sad that a fine file of fish got served on such a poor plate with a tomato sauce and a 1/2 cup of ruccola. I mean come on, a student on a tight budget could make a better tasting fish while trying to nuke it with spices, herbs or even ketchup. No chef-effort whatsoever. Also, where was the salt? Use of fresh fish was the only positive thing. 2 of 5Desert: Fromage with Nutella and some kind of nuts crushed with pop rocks. The good: Fromage tasty and didn't end the night in total failiure.The bad: The melted chocolate was not actual Nutella. Maybe some generic brand? Also the pop rocks would be more of a success on a childs desert. 3 of 5**Service**The waiters had a busy evening hopefully trying to make their best but I am sad that all waiters had their sight fixed on everything else except their guests. Since we had been ignored and had our expected 80-90 minute restaurant visit being delayed to approx. 150 minutes I can not say that I am satisfied with the service. After each dish being served non of the waiters returned and asked how the food tasted. Not even after clearing the table after each dish or when we asked to pay the bill. 1 of 5**Summary**I suggest the restaurant would improve the following:1. Whip the waiters to communicate with the guests. "How is the food tasting/Are you all satisfied/Care for some more wine?"2. Don't have a guy trying to be a sommelier when he even can not divide a bottle of wine equally. Just don't. 3. When explaining a time delay don't explain what you were doing instead. Explain what you can do for us to make up for it. Just a simple I'm sorry would do just fine if you lack mandate to offer a fruitplate or whatever.4. When the bill is being asked for don't walk away and start clearing the table for other guets.5. Fire the chef. Main reason for not succeding in executing only 9 dishes in an evening with brilliance. There is nothing to salvage here.This restaurant might have potential on any other night since previous ratings was what got us to book a table here tonight. Hopefully this is an one time fail for the restaurant. Food was not bad, just tasteless and the waiters succeded in making the evening a boring one. Sorry but I won't visit this place once again.Salute."

"It is always with great pleasure that I push the door of this restaurant for the sale to take away as the service in the room. There are now 4 Indian specialities restaurants in vence, but rajasthan is number one: reception service cuisine and its flavours and value for money, everything is gathered to spend a good time. And it starts with some papadums and three sauces. Highly recommended establishment."

"a great bravo in the kitchen, I finally found pleasure in eating in a restaurant, ravioli of magic crabs, the very successful dish and a special mention for dessert based on pears and cheeses, dared to see the customers of foreign tourists who surely are not used to discover odious dishes like his, I do not always remember this exceptional dessert. the only thing to say for me are the really limiting portions, my wife was not out with hunger in the belly but I (not a big basic eater) I was clearly very hungry when I left. a little frustrated is a shame, given the quality of the kitchen I would have preferred to pay more but not to come out hungry."

"this was our 3rd stay in this beautiful hotel over a 25-year-old time span. it is one of our most unforgettable places. we were so glad that this wonderful facility is still in the possession of the same owner sandrine roti. the rooms are large, immaculate and full of history. eating is excellent! we stayed for 3 nights and booked the restaurant for 2 nights in advance. they were closed in the 3rd night or we would have booked it. we could visit outside to eat in the courtyard and watch the lights arrived on the hill. Previous visits we ate in the dining room with the kamin roaring. many thanks for another wonderful visit!"
