First of all this is a great place to indulge yourself. Located in the famous Briere marsh that is a Regional natural Park and should be leveled to the rank of National Park, so much special, unique and amazing. The restaurant itself is pristine, everything is perfectly neat and I recommend with weather permission the outdoors sitting in a wonderful garden with many birds such as wonderful herons or special brand poultry that are running free on the grass or around the customers tables, nice entertainment. But we get there to enjoy a meal and this was a great one even if small bugs occurred here and there. Overhaul food is great, original, tasty and beautiful presentation, with the stress put on local products from farms, cattle and fishing. Before the Appetizers and the Entrees they serve a bunch of amazing and delicious small bites that are almost a meal by themselves Also a special mention about the great wine list, large choice, even if prices are pretty high, a connoisseur can find out some good bargains. But there is a but. When you are granted a 1 star ranking - called "macaron" - by the Michelin guide, customers expect more perfection than showy ostentation. High end and sophisticated but not easy going. All the failures listed here under should not happen, not so many at one time meal, and cost this nice place the ranking "excellent" even if anyway this was a very good experience: - first, when booking you are asked your credit card to guarantee a huge fee - higher than the menu price - in case of no show or late cancellation, the first time this happens to me, friends says this becomes more and more usual in France but I can't have it ...money, money - the waiter proposed the starter drinks without showing the wine list, when comes the bill I was surprised by the price of the regular champagne glass. They perfectly know or should do, that when you are with other people it is somewhat breaking the feast ambiance if you start arguing asking the prices ... very unfair way to do ... money, money ... - then there was a mismatch between the orders when bringing the appetizers, not a big deal of course, but when they brought the next course I tried to help telling which was for who, unfortunately the waitress told me strictly that she knew her job, kind of arrogance, then I could not help recalling her that sometimes they fail as this just had happened for the appetizers … Bad mark. - I ordered calf “sous la mere” – means it never ate anything else than the mother’s milk – The waiter dis not ask my choice for the cooking and I did expect the cook would know about the cooking to perfection then I let it go. I was disappointed with this piece of meat which was overcooked and too dry i.o. smooth as expected. - As desert I ordered chocolate soufflé that came almost cold that is not the state of the art for this meal. Chief Eric Guerin is said not to attend the kitchen nor the business all the time, nor very often, reported to be busy writing cooking books, showing in media and so on. The one say here around starts telling this place would be overrated, as the boss should be there more often. I guess this is the opinion of mean people who did not visit and have to be careful about rumors but anyway there are some signs owner should take care of.
