A quick hop, skip & a jump from Nice!! We have been before and each time was excellent in every way!! It’s such a unique location and very comfortable in September. The wait staff are very kind and helpful and the food was amazing, presented lovely with great flavors! I recommend ordering the 4 or 5 course menu. Enjoy!!
