I have enjoyed this restaurant over a number of years and went at least four times in 2013. The interior is classic without being exceptional but dining on the terrace on a summer's evening is difficult to beat anywhere in France. The cuisine is of a very high standard and often merits a higher rating than it has but you need to be sure that David Martin is in the kitchen. On one occasion last year he wasn't and it showed! I understand that he lost his sous-chef last year and he has not been replaced. The service is poor for a restaurant aspiring to the top level. There is no lack on bodies or of enthusiasm, it’s just that all but two of the serving staff seem to have an average age of 18 and have just started their training, in fact, one feels one is in a training school. Given one in paying Paris prices, it's a little frustrating and not helped by a proprietor who pays a lot of attention to some guests, none to others and then disappears after all the orders have been taken not to be seen again for the rest of the evening. Nevertheless, I am sorry that I won't be able to enjoy at least one evening this summer on the wonderful terrace enjoying David Martin's delicious food particularly as I understand that he has a new dish on the menu this year; Rôti de Barbichette which I believe is a particular favourite of the proprietor's, M Tissier.
We stayed there with a Groupon for 2 nights with our daughter. The service especially at check-in and the cleaning lady were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was served outside on the terrace with view on the parc and the horses. Breakfast included diff. cold cuts, cheese, pasteries (delicious pain au chocolat and super yammie mini-croissants as well as cereals and eggs to boil at your liking. The last day they were out of bread with was a bit of a damper but not the end of the world. We also ate at the restaurant one night and it was ok. The portions were rather on the small side. Price-value was heavier on the price than the value. We ate at the Talleyrand in Bourbon where you got more bang for your buck. The room, Nr. 23 on 3rd floor, was a big room with a small bed (I think max. 140x200cm . We were under the roof, so it can get hot in summer, but they also have aircon. The bathroom was nice but the showerhead was of cheap quality, the fake chrome came off at parts and was not very nice to hold. My hubby got a glimpse of other rooms that seemed to be nicer, which led him to call our room the Groupon room ; We absolutely loved the fact that the hotel has its own horse stable. We rented a pony for an hour for our daughter to go for a walk.
I organised a vintage car rally last December for 30 people. This dinner was the highlight of our rally and I had high expectations. The food was creative and very personal. But it was of superb quality and definitely worth a Michelin Star. We loved the focus on local ingredients: the beef was outstanding, so was the foie gras with hydromel and our dessert, which was a local modern reinterpretation of a Mont Blanc dessert. I was a bit worried service would be slow as it started slowly but it went crescendo and proved to be super efficient. Fares are not cheap of course, but in my opinion were worth every penny. What to improve? the wine list has interesting local choices but is otherwise quite pricey and a bit too conventional .
We knew the place was really reknown and the grounds to die for. So we counted our blessings when we were able to secure a table for 4 four our 27th wedding anniversary. Three of us are vegetarian and it is sometimes pretty hard to find a place that caters for this diet in a grand way. Well, we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the staff extremely helpful and caring, the 2017 red Chinon was marvellous and we had a fabulous time. I could not recommend more
