User reviews
"It's amazing. I don't understand why it has an average rating. The food was one of the best we've had in the past two weeks (lamb, octopus). The service was excellent. We loved the VIP experience of the valet parking with the electric car ride. And the view is one of the best in St. Raphael. Another great thing is that it's not too crowded. We were able to get a table on Wed..."
