C'est Magnifique
I had the 5 course meal and was treated to escargot, scallops, trout, beef cheek and a perfect crème brûlée. The entire dinner was amazing. I was so full that I could only eat a few bites of the beef cheek, but it was super in a deep rich bordelaise sauce. The escargot served in a persillade (herb) butter was the best I've ever had EVER. Scollops were in a lemon butter sauce and were perfectly cooked. The mild lemon sauce under the trout was amazing. The sparkling blackberry prosecco-like drink topped it all off. It was a spectacular dinner. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be that the 5 & 6 course meal should include a cup of coffee or tea with dessert. Otherwise it was a perfect dinner and left me feeling relaxed and happy. I'm returning next February and bringing many shipmates with me.

Great ambiance and good plating, but the taste was disappointing.
I had a 5 course meal - the first one was a few pieces of bread with mushrooms soaked in butter. Although I must say the bread was good, but the taste was rather disappointing. The rest of the food served weren’t much better. The presentation of food was good but I expected a much better taste considering the price and how they pose the restaurant to be.
