We went to this restaurant on New Year's day with my sister and her husband, who live in the next village. The food, when we got it, was excellent but the organisation and staffing left much to be desired. To be fair to them, they felt short-staffed, so it may be that some staff had partied too well the previous night and not turned up for their shift.We arrived shortly before 1pm with about three other groups of people and had to hang around downstairs for about ten minutes as the three waiting staff (the woman we took to be the patronne, a man and a very young and slightly overwhelmed young girl) were clearly dealing with clients upstairs in the restaurant as well as welcoming new arrivals. This was quite unnecessary as it would have been easy, when my sister made the booking the previous day, for us to have been asked to come a little earlier, or later, so as to stagger arrivals so it made for an irritated beginning.When we were seated in the very pleasant room, we could see that the staff were under pressure but we didn't expect to wait for just under half an hour before we were given menus. The menu had an attractive €39 menu so we made our choices, having ordered two different bottles of wine, and waited for our order to be taken. After quite a long time the patronne arrived and said that the prix fixe menu was not available because it was a holiday. No where was this indicated (nor, I think, on the website). The à la carte menu had most of the things on the prix fixe menu but they were much more expensive. Madame also reeled off a number of special items (several of which we chose) but without any indication of price.When the food eventually arrived, it was excellent - well-presented and extremely well cooked - but the experience was seriously marred by the inefficiency of the welcome and the service, not to mention the very high prices. My husband and I chose to share a main course (wisely as it was enormous) but were made to feel that this was not acceptable, and the extra plate was not hot. In the end we paid about €75 a head for four starters and desserts and three main courses, plus two bottles of wine. A high price for such a mixed experience. We eschewed coffee and went back to my sister's house for coffee and digestifs! In view of the problems, my sister is unsure whether she will try the restaurant again.
