"très jolie découverte, un très bon rapport qualité prix, 2 entrées, 2 plats (poisson et viande) avec accompagnement et un dessert. Un service digne des très grands. Pas de musique et c'est très bien. Je conseille vivement les yeux fermés et je recommande fortement. Là je reviendrais et en plus on peut offrir des cartes cadeaux ? Excellent concept attrayant. A bientôt."

"My husband and I had an unplanned lunch here after a lazy two-hour pause at Caliceo, just next door. We were pleasantly surprised by the food, deco and service. Hubby had a huge perfectly-cooked steak with equally nice fries, and I had a plate of various types of sushi. I am Japanese-American and tend to be quite fussy about how sushi is made. Despite my uncertainty, the grains of sushi rice were still whole (which is a good sign), the rice was cold but not dry, and it was well seasoned. The fish melted in my mouth. Then I tried the makis. I chewed slowly and could not identify what I was eating. Then I smelled it -- strawberries! Totally unexpected. My taste buds were absolutely titillated. I do not know if my mom, who is not a hyphenated Japanese, would like it, but I am still raving about it 7 months later. Go, taste, enjoy..."

"The positive point: the frame is very pleasant. But in winter, the room is not or little heated, so it's cold! For dishes: very simple/basic and little copied. Another comment: it would be appreciated if the restaurateurs knew what the vegetarian diet meant for the person of our vegetarian table instead of bringing it fish... For tea, it is very good but it would have been appreciated if the server lets us choose instead of giving us randomly the bag that passes by his hand because he did not know the difference between green black or infusion... There may be other more pleasant dishes on the menu, but the dishes offered did not give me the urge to come back (we were there during a business lunch at noon)"

"We arrived with the help of GPS promptly at 12noon today, simultaneously with two or three other French couples and families. The location is unprepossessing, in the middle of a row of car dealerships, of all things! The maitre d'hotel and other staff were already stationed outside and gave us a really warm and sincere greeting. It was unbearably hot and humid, and while the outdoor seating was appealing, we opted to sit in the pleasantly air-conditioned interior. It's a lovely spacious airy room, with generous tables generously spaced, with good table linen and attractively set. There is tasteful background music which, after noticing it once, truly receded into the background, for once. We declined an aperitif and began examining the menu. We opted for the daily €25 menu, which offered some choice, though we both ended up ordering the same thing: an excellent tuna tartare piled into a shallow bed of tomato gazpacho and topped with minislices of poached peach, of all things! Sounds strange but it worked beautifully. The starter was followed by a delicious main course of fork-tender filet of veal on a bed of girolle mushrooms, cameralized carrots, and potato mousse. To top it off, one is invited to head over to an over-the-top dessert buffet, created by the chef de cuisine who is a pastry specialist, with no fewer than two dozen choices. We each had about five mini-portions which were divine. The €25 menu is served at weekday lunch, when it includes a quarter-liter of wine, a beer, or a half-bottle of mineral water. Next time -- and there WILL be a next time -- we intend to explore the more elaborate menus, all of which looked fantastic. Service was among the best we have ever experienced, and I go back to the days of La Cote Basque and Café Chauveron and Lutèce! It was friendly and smiling, without being obsequious or false, and very efficient, without any obnoxious over-hovering or pretension. The pace was perfect. Franck Séguret, the chef de cuisine, made the rounds of all the tables -- many guests in the restaurant, which began shortly to fill up, were clearly regulars -- and he proved to be a truly charming and accommodating man who surely sets just the right tone for all of his numerous staff. We are already eagerly planning our next visit to the Clos des Lys."

"original concept, regional specialties at will! We were very curious to discover. We called in the morning to book "(you do well!", we answered, implied there was going to be a world!). result: from the world, yes, especially large taboos that suggest a clientele of inhabitant. little boring detail: although having booked, no table was prepared for our arrival. Once seated, 10/15 minutes waiting for the beverages to take control, then 5 additional minutes to get a table dressing (sets and towels), then the same for the covers. Why not bring everything suddenly?. and more generally, why not prepare a few tables on the terrace to save time? Moreover, a little refreshment of the latter would be profitable, it makes a little neglected, although it is almost clean, it would be believed in the courtyard of an individual. One detail, let's go.Two waitresses, one rather smiling and causing, the other its exact opposite. I don't know. The boss seems to have some little attention, but not for everyone. it is also often on the phone, a pity when you see the two above running in every direction. Gastro level, a not extraordinary but sufficient choice. entries are quite simple (hard eggs, crudities, taboulé, simplistic cutlery, unloaded pizza). The dishes are a little more convincing: the swine-to-aioli pebbles were really good, just like the gratin of potatoes, the meatballs "(people beans?" we regret the partial absence of labels to know what we tasted...). On the other hand, the snails with catalane have no interest (grass and little taste, but perhaps is this recipe that wants it), the rice in Spanish is perfectly insipid.Some products offered in wok (couteaux, pork ribs, chorizo)., but we have not tested (a little wait...).Force is to find that the team is short the rest that more is turned out to be medium (tiramisu (??) very low-end, fruit salad bathing in a syrup. composed of water only), only the floating islands get about dignified, even if it is likely that they are not made home. A few liter ice creams and frozen chocolate and whipped ice cream will eventually add your plate.Slightly high price, but for a buffet it remains reasonable. some products are worth it, others less, but there is something to satisfy everyone. we recommend but with some reservations so."
