"Au top, endroit au style impeccable et à l'ambiance très soignée, un équipe pas mal réactive, notamment Kévin qui veille à l'innovation et la satisfaction des cocktails de notre Team! La musique est accordée au cadre, plutôt fondue en début de soirée, mais un chouia plus forte sur la suite de soirée. La carte est originale et délicieuse. Merci à toute l'équipe pour votre concept rafraîchissant"

"Très bien. Le lieu déjà, parfait pour une soirée apéro / resto / danse, l'accueil (un peu victime de son succès mais très pros et sympathiques), cuisine excellente (la joue de boeuf, régressif comme on dit), joli choix de cocktails et de vins, ambiance sonore qui va bien, on a envie de revenir dans ce mauvais quartier"

"Nous nous sommes rendus dans cet établissement pour passer notre soirée du samedi entre amis. Le repas était d’une excellente qualité, des plats jusqu’aux desserts tout le monde a été conquis. Nous avons pu discuter confortablement sans être gênés par le volume de la musique. Nous sommes ensuite descendus au rez-de-chaussée où se trouve l’espace bar dansant, ce qui nous a permis de terminer la soirée en musique autour d’un verre. Je recommande vivement cet établissement à tous ceux qui souhaitent passer un agréable moment entre amis. N’étant pas de Nîmes, je reviendrai assurément lors de mon prochain passage par ici ."

"Lieu agréable et très beau. Les plats étais bon mais manque de température. Un petit peu déçu sur la cote de veau qui était servi avec un risotto pour moi ce n’es pas un risotto « pas de riz collant pas de risotto » peut être changer le nom. La tarte au citron « meringue trop liquide ». Service et accueil au top. Les plats arrive rapidement mais les cocktails sont plus long à arrivé. Bonne ambiance quand même pour passé une bonne soirée entre amis."

"Rien à redire, absolument tout est agréable dans ce restaurant : les plats, l’ambiance, et l’équipe ! On s’est vraiment régalées de l’entrée aux desserts. La carte est travaillée avec des plats très variés. J’ai trop kiffé retrouver des mélanges de saveurs originaux mais qui vont vraiment bien ensembles ! Le lieu est un peu bruyant mais sans que ce soit désagréable, et les tables du restaurant à l’étage sont assez espacées pour avoir de l’intimité. Ça fait plaisir d’avoir des endroits comme ça sur Nîmes ! À bientôt !!"
