"Okay, I'm changing the review I made 4 months ago because I'm deeply disappointed! I gave it 4/5 but today it's well worth a 2/5. Well, I had already ordered extra fries in addition to my salad which was forgotten the first time. I call them back, but still nothing. I had to call him a second time, I might as well tell you that I had already finished my salad when I got the fries... So I give 3 for the service, just because they are not bad, but given the errors, it would deserve a 2. Then, this summer, many more vegetarian choices and above all, they were able to adapt: if I chose a burger and asked to replace the beef steak with a potato pancake , it was done, but not anymore, they have refused, saying that it was a chain and that they were restricted by management. And indeed, that's the whole problem with the chains, that's why I'm definitely going to stop going there. Because they are no longer cooks, but people who do a little and above all reheat. A real cook knows how to adapt, knows how to innovate, knows how to do something else if the customer is allergic, vegetarian or has dietary restrictions (health problem, etc. , etc. I have several good examples of restaurants that have real cooks and adapt. As in Vouharte for example, they manage to make superb, delicious vegetarian dishes even though they do not normally offer any on the menu. That's what cooking is all about: knowing how to adapt and not always doing the same thing. I find it a shame not to try to do better. To start from the principle that... as long as there are customers, there is no need to improve because things are going... that's not what cooking, passion, the taste of things are. The cuisine is ordinary and without adaptation, but is not bad either, that's why I rate it 2 and not 1. The atmosphere at the moment, it hasn't changed, it's still the same, a lot of noise , the headache can quickly arrive, I would advise installing acoustic panels to improve this. If there isn't one, it's not for financial reasons given what they put into the decoration (just in case, it's a choice . And what's more, it's still expensive, there for once, with all the negative points the quality/price ratio is not there! The remaining positive point, I would say, is the kindness of certain servers."

"Ns went there on 13 October. Order at the terminal. At the end of 45 minutes still no tray served. My spouse will see them, no trace of our order. Yet done and paid. We're making our sandwiches a priority. Cold sandwiches when they came or said to make them. Uncooked onions and cheese. No towel either. I'm not ready to go back."

"This might be longer than our normal report. Arrived for late-ish Sunday lunch between two events. Car park full but got a space. restaurant full, but got a table. Speaks for itself to be so busy. Oh dear, the cold buffet table might be empty. Not at all, constantly replenished. Well done. Main courses well prepared and presented; very enjoyable half duck breast and an andouillette as part of the 15 €uro special. Excellent glass of wine as we were driving! Most notable was the wonderful staff. All seemed to be multi-tasking switching from supervision, to clearing tables to serving drinks. Another well done. Our super wee waitress was cheery and most efficient. When I asked Astrid to explain her in training on her name badge she explained she had only started the previous day! Quite, quite amazing level of proficiency, also considering how busy they were. Third well done and we will certainly be back. Thank you."

"I have fancied eating here since I first saw it was open but my wife is not a fan of mussels which is the restaurant's speciality. We went here on Sunday evening with our son and daughter in law and their three young children. We were greeted...and seated promptly and our order was taken within ten minutes of arrival.There is a secure play area for children which kept them occupied whilst not eating and they were each given games and a balloon. On Sunday evenings, there are inclusive menus of unlimited mussels with a selection of at least half a dozen different sauces and chips finished off with a selection of desserts. For my wife there was a fair selection of non seafood choices of which she chose chicken and a goats' cheese salad. My son, daughter in law and I had three generous helpings of mussels each, trying three different sauces, all of which were good but our unanimous favourite was the Roquefort cheese delicious! The childrens' menu is simple but well prepared. The food and drink prices were reasonable, particularly given the quantity of mussels available. We sat in the outside area which was cool and afforded a panoramic view of the city of Angouleme. All together an enjoyable experience and one we shall repeat. As a bonus, if you register on line with the restaurant, there are monthly special offers we had the benefit of a 20% discount on the whole bill which was gratefully accepted!"

"Came here for a meal with the whole family including parents who recommended this place. Was pleasantly welcomed by friendly staff. The restaurant was clean and staff were constantly wiping down the sides. The seafood was lovely and fresh, the food cooked wasn't greasey at all, nice variety and the teppanyaki was divine. Can't wait to go back... definitely value for money!"
