Nous avons passé un très bon moment, les plats étaient très bons. Nabila, la serveuse ce soir, était très souriante et très agréable. Les décors sont très beaux. Le seul point négatif était des enfants qui faisaient beaucoup de bruit (mais évidemment ce n’est pas la faute du restaurant). Nous recommandons !
