A fantastic afternoon tea experience, although for the price charged, we felt they could've included a small glass of Prosecco instead of offering that as an additional charge.

French rotisserie is the true traditional French bistro experience. This restaurant serve the best escargots in the valley. Our server Jean Luques was excellent and the atmosphere is always jovial. We enjoyed tremendously the duck a l’orange and the beef bourguignon. A perfect casual dinner!
