Having a holiday home in the area I visited this restaurant every time I was on holiday. I always took groups of friends and over twenty years spent a lot of money here. The owners and the food was brilliant until the last one.. Some my friends who used my house came back with a report that the old chef had gone and the new one was not up to the previous standard, I decided to wait until I had tried the meal before judging. I went there with my wife and daughter and sat, and sat ,and sat eventually a waitress appeared and we ordered, having been there so many times before we always had the same three courses. I had a scallop salad, a magret de canard and a peche melba. My scallops were overcooked and rubbery, my duck was overdone and dry and again we waited and waited for the desert, so long that my daughter didn't bother to eat hers. When I went to the desk to pay, I told the girl that I would pay but was not particularly happy about the quality or the service. Because she knew me she would report my views. She called the manageress over and said Mr Hammond is not happy with his meal. She just looked at me shrugged and walked away.. I said loudly in French and in English never again and walked out.. I now eat at the far better and more customer friendly Grain de Sel opposite.
