Tour d’Argent: The iconic Paris restaurant in 7 intriguing figures

We’ve just had lunch at the iconic Paris restaurant, the Tour d’Argent. In short: It was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. And the new renovation job is excellent.

It was a four-course Michelin meal with a view over the Seine, the Notre Dame, and the rooftops of Paris. And it was two-and-a-half hours in Parisian heaven.

We’ve collected seven intriguing facts and figures about the restaurant, which are compiled below with some practical details for your own potential visit.

The Earful Tower podcast episode

In this episode, Lina and I will take you inside the famed restaurant and you’ll hear our thoughts as we dine.

We also discuss our thoughts on the renovation job from 2022/2023. Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts, and scroll down for the facts about the restaurant.

1) 1582: The year the Tour d’Argent was built

The first incarnation of la Tour d’Argent opened in 1582 as an inn on the ground floor. The Tour d’Argent, meaning “the Silver Tower”, takes its name from from the glistening champenoise stone with which it was originally built.

In the 16th century, the restaurant catered toward royalty, aristocrats and nobility, providing a safe place for the elite to dine. Many Kings of France dined at the Tour d’Argent and legend has it was here that King Henry III first discovered a fork, which was at the time the latest sensation from Italy.

2) 1936: The year the Tour d’Argent moved upstairs

In 1922, owner André Terrail purchased and merged buildings 15 and 17 on Quai de la Tournelle, which allowed him to add a new top floor. And so it was in 1936 that the restaurant shifted from the ground floor to the top, allowing a more contemporary design including those enormous bay windows for panoramic Paris views.

3) 16: Total months for the new renovation

From April 2022 to August 2023 the Tour d’Argent had an extensive renovation. The project, led by interior designer Franklin Azzi, brought the restaurant into the 21st century.

The designers added a metallic, “kinetic ceiling”, a carpet inspired by the Seine, and expanded the kitchen into the dining room.

Artist Antoine Carbonne added a modern fresco he called “Perle”, which depicts a medieval-inspired map of Paris that blurs the lines between fantasy and history.

Down on the ground floor, where the original Tour d’Argent was located, is the Bar des Maillets d’Argent. Cafe by day and cocktail bar by night, the bar’s 1930s design pays homage to the last years the Tour d’Argent was located here. Perched on the very top floor is the Tour d’Argent’s bar Le Toit de la Tour , which is a reservation-only rooftop bar .

4) 1,179,385: The number of the duck we had

In 1890 Frédéric Delair codified the recipe for canard au sang (pressed duck), which specified preparation, sauce and service. To maintain the recipe’s longevity he decided to start numbering the ducks served. To this day, the restaurant gives clients an embossed card recording which number duck they received. We shared duck number 1,179,385.

5) 300,000: The number of wine bottles in the cellar

The Tour d’Argent is famous for having one of the largest wine collections in the world. The cellar, guarded around the clock, contains more than 300,000 bottles – with some of the bottles dating back to the 18th century. Of those wines, about 15,000 are offered to diners in the 5kg, 400-page “anthology wine bible”.

Safe to say, we’re not wine connoisseurs. When we spoke about the wine list on the podcast, we admitted to being “first pagers”, and were more than happy to go with the recommendations of the sommelier.

6) €150: Cost for one lunch at the Tour d’Argent

There is certainly a sliding scales of prices at the Tour d’Argent. For €150 (160USD and 250AUD) per person, you can have the four-course lunch (drinks not included). On the other end of the scale is the nine course tasting menu for dinner priced at €1,582 (1,680USD and 2650AUD).

Our four course lunch included scallops, sea bass, roasted duckling, and clementine meringue ( see the November menu here ). Quite simply: It was the best dining experience of my life. Pure excellence from chef Yannick Franques. You can hear more about the food in the podcast episode.

7) 1: The number of Michelin stars for the Tour d’Argent

The Tour d’Argent was once the proud owner of 3 Michelin stars, but lost one in 1996, and another in 2006. In recent years they have been on a mission to reclaim their stars.

Currently has at least one Michelin star

Tour d’Argent is one of the most famous restaurants in the world, the setting for some scenes in the movie Ratatouille. Its origins are not well documented, though a restaurant of that name was on this site in 1780; the Terrail family bought the restaurant in 1912. The Michelin Guide, though it began in 1900, only introduced its now famous star system in 1926, allocating a single star to restaurants of special note in France. In 1931 they extended the system to three stars (as today) in the provinces of France, and to Paris in 1933. In that 1933 guide Tour d’Argent was awarded three stars, which it held until 1996, a little matter of 63 years; its second star was lost in 2006. The head chef since 2010 has been Laurent Delarbre, who worked previously at The Ritz and at Relais Louis XIII, and was head chef at Café de la Paix.   

La Tour d'Argent is on the fifth floor of a fine corner building just where the Seine twists direction. The ground floor waiting room is lovely in itself, filled with antiques, but the dining room is glorious. It looks out over the Seine and the skyline of Paris, with the cathedral of Notre Dame nearby. The view is one of the finest of any restaurant in the world. Tables are a little small, with chairs to match, but the view is terrific. The table ornament was a little Lalique glass duck. 

The wine list here is legendary, offering over 15,000 wines selections from a cellar of 450,000 bottles. Interestingly for such a quintessentially French establishment, the head sommelier is English: David Ridgeway, an author and also a Master Sommelier of France. The huge wine list arrived in a weighty tome, with markup levels much kinder as you climb the list. Clos Davioud les Cimes 2006 was €69 for a wine that retails at around €26, Etienne Sauzet Les Perrieres Puligny Montrachet 1992 was €155 for a wine that actually costs around €195 in a shop, and Romanee Conti La Tache 1990 at €4,150 for a wine than actually costs around €6,103 to buy retail.

The meal began with little nibbles of duck foie gras, with a few vegetable crudités, the foie gras having very good flavour (16/20), the vegetables rather less so (15/20). An amuse-bouche of carrot velouté raised the game, the soup having excellent flavour, creamy with a few herbs as garnish (17/20).

I began with morels with asparagus (€81), the morels of high quality and carefully cooked, paired well with the excellent new season asparagus and a little chicken mousse (easily 17/20). Also nice was a pretty selection of mixed spring vegetables (€76), with carrots, puy lentils, baby courgette with its flower, toasted hazelnuts, lettuce, artichoke and carrot puree with a nice mustard dressing (16/20).

The restaurant gets its duck from House Burgaud in Challans. When sold in the restaurant the ducks are numbered (a tradition started in 1890), the millionth duck being sold in 2003. The pressed duck is roasted, then after the legs and breast are set aside the rest of the duck is put into a steel duck press, utilising the blood and juices of the duck in a sauce. My duck (€70) was served in two stages, the breast with a very good crust of hazelnuts and more asparagus, then leg of duck with duck jus, a little vinegar and salad (18/20). Even better were langoustines (€92) with a pretty casing of potato tuile dusted with paprika, with excellent peas, pea purée, basil leaves and a little more asparagus. The langoustines were superb, carefully cooked, the vegetables had lovely flavour and the potato crisps were excellent (19/20).

Caramel soufflé (€29) had good flavour and had risen well, but if I am picky then the very centre was just a little runny (17/20). Lemon meringue (€26) with a biscuit crumb was better, prettily presented with the meringue light, the lemon flavour in careful balance (18/20). Pleasant coffee was served with an excellent hazelnut and orange financier, a delicate wild strawberry tartlet and chocolates (17/20). Service was very good, topping up careful and the staff friendly. The bill came to €259 (£221) a head with an excellent bottle of Weinbach Riesling 1988 at €90. Extras add up quickly, with half a litre of Evian at €7, coffee and mignardise €10. There were cheaper set lunch menus at €75 and €90 available but we went a la carte. Although this only has one Michelin star these days there are plenty of worse two stars out there, and none has the magnificent setting of Tour d'Argent. It is a little piece of restaurant history.

The best Restaurant I have ever been excellent service! Great food great wine romantic! Perfect!

Christian Fredrik Holmboe

Unfortunately this was THE major disappointment of our 3-days in Paris, having had a stupendous meal at Arpege for lunch the same day. Two of our party of six are vegans, and the restaurant was notified in advance of this (both by phone in French and by mail)and we were assured that this would be no problem. Upon arrival they were initially offered an option of foie gras(!) and then a scallop dish, neither would qualify as vegan.. There was no effort to provide even the simplest salad. The wine-list is, of course, to die for and we found some relative bargains amongst older Raveneaus and Coche-Durys. The pouring was a bit haphazardous, and the waiter managed to give us a healthy amount of deposit in all glasses when topping up our excellent -88 from René Engel. The food was average at its best (duck), the turbot was stale and came out with an extremely unpleasant fishy aroma signalling the use of not-fresh raw material. (Try looking up the Norwegian "Boknafisk" for an idea of its smell). One taste, and all four plates (at €80/portion) were returned immediately. We had originally planned two back to back meals, but needless to say cancelled reservation #2 for a spectacular meal at Epicure.

I had lunch here Spring 2016. I went with prix fixe (now e105). I would say the food was beautiful to look at, but rather poor for a great restaurant. The service was excellent, but not perfect. The wine list and view quite extraordinary. I would go back. They said duck press has to be ordered in advance, but there is normal duck on the menu. I enjoy your weblog immensely Mr Hayler!

Mark Bernstein

Tour d'Argent continues to improve and currently provides as good a total restaurant experience as any in Paris. Yes there places where the cooking is superior, the ingredients finer, but none have the setting nor a wine list without peer for depth and fiscal fairness on planet earth. Settle in downstairs with an aperitif to study the list and make your wine decision; ride the elevator to the best restaurant views in France, to dine on first rate, albeit unspectacular food, and your choice of the greatest wines in the world. If the cuisine of L'Ambroise or Troigros were served here I truly believe this would be the greatest restaurant.

It's been ten years since my wife and I dined here. Its beauty and elegance are still very vivid. It was truly an amazing experience.

Tour d'Argent

Ratings and reviews, location and contact, michelin guide's point of view.

We choose Tour d'Argent as we were looking for a Michelin Star lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Through much research we found this is one of the only Michelin restaurants in the city to offer service on a weekend afternoon. First of all, the setting... is incredible, amazing panaromic views from 6 floors up, stunning decor in classic french style. We choose the lunch menu and tried most dishes between the two of us and although the starters weren't to our taste the duck and desserts were outstanding. Above the food though was the service, attentive, knowledgeable and highly professional without ever being pushy or in your face. The house wine was also a surprising highlight. More

What could I say about Tour d'Argent that hasn't been said before? I honestly don't know. We got its name as a personal recommendation and decided to give it a try. We had lunch on occasion of my birthday and it was truly one of... the most memorable meals I ever had. Everything from the food to the service and decor is top notch. And while this is probably a place where to go for best value for money, the experience even exceeded our expectations. On some other fine dining restaurants I've been to before they can be spartan with portions, but Tour d'Argent by contrast give you plenty! I would agree with other reviewers in saying the service is correct and not overly fussy. Well done to Tour d'Argent for keeping with its tradition and savoir-faire. More

From the moment we entered the restaurant to the moment we left no one could have made our night more special. The waiter helped choose the wine at a price that was suitable, we ordered the duck set menu which was fabulous the dessert was... so large we could not manage it all. Already saving for our next booking. More

One of the best meals my husband and I have had in 40 years of marriage. We dined here last week and are still spending of the experience. Our arrival was greeted by the pleasant doorman. We were taken up to the restaurant by elevator... and met by the Maitre’d, who sat us at a window side table, which was beautifully set. We enjoyed small nibbles with glasses of champagne which set the tone for the evening. The wine list as others have mentioned, is massive. I am in the wine business but deferred to the (native Boston!) sommelier’s suggestion of a Malbec to accompany the restaurant’s signature duck duo preparation (which was done table side). This was after a second amuse Bouche of zucchini flowers and appetizers of crab and foie gras. The first course is duck breast, and soufflé potatoes, served with the famous duck blood sauce. The second preparation is the leg accompanied by sausage served in pastry cups. As expected, all was exceptional. During the meal the owner stopped by our table to inquire if we were enjoying our evening - and we certainly were! Too bad our numbered duck card arrived too late for him to sign for us . We ended our meal with dessert (no room for the wonderful looking cheese cart course!), a chocolate creation for myself and the famous baba with champagne and berries for my husband. These were served with coffee and tea and more little dessert bites. Of course, this all comes at a premium ($900 US) but we felt it was worth every penny. More

We enjoyed a lunch from the set menu. To each course we had a glas of wine with perfect help from a helpful sommelier - she really knew her wines;-) Foie gras ravioli was divine and extremely rich in taste. The duckling served to perfection!... Desert with a superb taste of chocolate and full bodied coffee. The staff is impeccable in their job. Have to mention the view also; what better way to experience Paris than from the windows of this restaurant. Will be back! More

I have been wanting to go to this restaurant for many many years and have the experience of the canard presse. To be honest it was not all disappointing. We got the best table in the restaurant ( at least in our opinion ) The... second service of the duck was perfect The lady sommelier chose a very good red wine BUT From the beginning the waiters seemed as if there were / is a second service coming that evening and rushed us to order. Instead of looking from a distance the waiter came on frequent occasions sort of disturbing us. Bread crumbs on the table was not, until the very end removed from the table The first serving of "extras" was incredible dry and boring. The whole atmosphere of the duck being pressed in front of you was not there. In my opinion the most important part of the "show". I have been to at least a dozen of Michelin restaurants around the world and must say that "The Tour" has to step up the game to get stars. We left with an empty feeling both in our minds and in our stomach ( even the lady complained ) because where did the rest of the duck go ! More

After several trips to Paris and numerous Michelin starred meals, my husband and I decided to finally give Tour d’Argent a try, if only for posterity. We knew the building and location were magnificent, that the sense of history would be palpable, and that the... grandeur of the restaurant itself would be notable. But we weren’t expecting to be wowed by the food. In fact, the menu offerings sounded stiff and old fashioned —royal hare soup w/ foie gras ravioli, wild pike en croute, duckling, whiting with a brioche crust. Yet to our great delight, the dishes were each delicious and interesting, not overwhelming and heavy. The hare soup was especially memorable and the fish superb. On top of it all, the hospitality was extraordinary—not at all pretentious but energetic and warm. We are thrilled that we had this experience and thank the entire staff for their amazing work. It takes a lot of training and coordination to produce such perfection, century after century. More

I have wanted to try this restaurant out since I was a student in Paris in the 70s but never did the stars align to make it happen. Finally, on a recent trip, and scouting out a special place for my daughter's birthday, I managed... to organise a lunch for myself. First, of course, is the amazing perch over the Seine which directly faces the cathedral of Notre Dame; still impressive yet sobering to see the massive amount of work that will be required to make it whole again. Service was excellent all around, someone always there to do what is required, without really making their presence felt. A unique skill seen only in restaurants like this in France but seldom seen elsewhere. Sommelier's was from Boston but was very knowledgeable and most helpful to me in finding some off the run wines from the Jura and Savoie. Food was excellent though three courses and one finished feeling full but not bloated. I had two bottles of wine and the three course menu for 300 euros. I would certainly take my daughter there for her birthday, if only they were open in mid-August! More

Beautiful day and of course view. Yes the Tour is old school comfort and class, but it’s not stuffy. The service is friendly, attentive, not overdone and you can have a friendly chat. You have lots of room and elegance. The wine list is of... course legendary and you can have a really informed discussion with the sommelier and find mature wine in your price range which is rare these days. Including big names at less than retail prices. Amazing. We had the fixed price menu which is the best value and though the choice is small the quality is high. I found the olive tapenade on my Guinea fowl a bit too strong, but otherwise all good and the quenelles and desert were really delicious. We come here rarely but every time it’s a treat. More

Dreadful experience the minute we set foot in this renowned establishment with the Maitre d' refusing to give us a table in the middle when the restaurant was pretty empty: he insisted on sitting us at the very back (with zero view yet the same... extortionate prices!) on the basis that we had not booked several months ahead!! He was snooty and unhelpful. The food was nice but standard boring classical French, nothing to excite the pallet. The waiters were lovely but the atmosphere was zero except for some obsequious manager turning up to say Hi. "SURFAIT" is the word to describe this place, an expensive old-fashioned tourist-trap. Totally uncreative and unexciting food: the silver came out as pure theatre. None of the flair, ingenuity or sense of surprise of Marsan by Helene Darroze for example which is simply terrific. More

We made a reservation for lunch, with a glass of champagne and a tour at the cave included. Our lunch was amazing from the beginning to the end, in every detail. We took our two little daughters with us and we had no problems at... all with that. In fact, the made a different, simpler, menu for them, which was very kind. The service was very attentive and gentle. The food itself was great - we chose the lunch menu (105 euros per person) plus the cheese step (which I strongly recommend). The menu consists in some “amuse bouche”, the a starter (I had the Quenelles and my wife had the egg with mushrooms and truffle, both excellent), the main course (the duck, not the famous pressed one, but still delicious) and the dessert (we had chocolate pie, also very good). Besides the great food and the excellent service, the view from the restaurant is amazing. It’s not cheap, but worths every cent! More

Second visit to this marvelous restaurant! Andre Terrail and his team put on a marvelous display of virtuosity in service. As it was our last day of a 3 week trip to Europe, we over-committed ourselves and arrived quite tardy to the restaurant for our... lunch reservation (I did give the reception updates on our later than expected arrival time). The reception, appreciative of our communications, was kind. The young lady smiled, took our coats and whisked us upstairs to the dining room. The dining room reception was equally warm to our late arrival and then the show began. A fine ballet of wine stewards, front waiters and back waiters effortlessly took care of our every whim and need; discussing everything from menu, wine and desert options to the historial sites viewed from the floor-to-ceiling windows and general history of this temple of cuisine. The service was meticulous and thoughtful and, of course, was the food. Light, elegant and ephemeral flavors as well as rich and seductive flavors….food for the gods! Two of our guests asked for crepes suzette without alcohol and the team happily obliged…table side service of crepes was lovely with fresh juices and rinds of citrus fruit to substitute for the alcohol usually used. The cheers cart is one of the best in the world (you are in France, after all). To cap it all off, it was Three Kings Day, and the restaurant served all guests a portion of the obligatory Galette des Rois…a guest at another table was lucky enough to the find the “crown” in their piece of cake and was provided with a fun crown to wear at the end of their meal. So fun! This place does not skip a beat and deserves every accolade! Thank you! More

Most amazing restaurant. The service was excellent . . . From the young doorman that welcomed us on arrival to the greeting from owner André Terrail at the end of our meal. The location superb, with the Restuarant sitting on the banks of the Seine... with fabulous views towards Notre Dame. The whole meal was an amazing experience, especially the famous pressed duck. Seeing the crepes suzette flambé d by our table was pure magic especially the hand made ice cream. A truly memorable evening in Paris. Thank you More

I and two friends had Sunday lunch at the Tour d'Argent following the recommendation of some of our fellow students in a French immersion program in Tours, France. We enjoyed the view (right beside the window), the service (the sense of humor of our waiters... with our Franglais), and the food. The scallops were amazing and we appreciated the advice of the sommalier since the wine list was a large volume that weighed >15 lbs. We appreciated the warmth of the service and being able to spend several hours eating, drinking, and enjoying each others company. I hope to return on a future visit with my husband or other family members. More

Having heard so much about this restaurant, I was very much looking forward to the evening. Unfortunately however, from the first moments there, I saw that so much was lacking. Upon entering the restaurant 5 minutes before my reservation time, a woman at the door... told me to have a seat and she would get back to me soon. This took me by surprise, as she was not at all welcoming. the two of us sat in the bar lounge as we were told, and there we sat. % minutes passed, then 10 and even 15. No one ever came to us to offer us a drink, or even a glass of water. The game woman saw that I was gettin irritated, and she finally came over to say that she was having to take another group up to theta floor before because she had no where to put them. This seemed like a strange excuse for the delay of over 15 minutes. When she finally came to escort us to the elevator, she asked me what was wrong. I guess she cold tell by my face that I was not happy. I told her that I felt it was inexcusable to keep us waiting for so long, and her only response was that they take one party up the elevator at a time and that's "just how we do it." There was absolutely no apology at all. Then, we finally got to our table, and to add insult to injury, we sat at the table for 7 minus (yes, I counted) until someone finally came to take a drink order. The rest of the evening was filled with mishaps and lack of attention. The space is beautiful and the food was tasty, but the service is amateurish and I would simply not recommend spending $800 a couple for this restaurant. More

Michelin guide’s point of view.

The main location in Paris has a real history, having opened in 1582. Renaud Augier, winner of the Un des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF) award, breathes new life into classic dishes with modern sensibilities. Specialities with an especially solid reputation include young duck roast made with duck that carries a serial number, which was enjoyed by Emperor Showa, and Three Emperor’s style goose foie gras. A luxurious meal here would be a fitting end to a special day.

Sommelier's was from Boston but was very knowledgeable and most helpful to me in finding some off the run wines from the Jura and Savoie. Food was excellent though three courses and one finished feeling full but not bloated. I had two bottles of wine and the three course menu for 300 euros. I would certainly take my daughter there for her birthday, if only they were open in mid-August! More

Beautiful day and of course view. Yes the Tour is old school comfort and class, but it’s not stuffy. The service is friendly, attentive, not overdone and you can have a friendly chat. You have lots of room and elegance. The wine list is of... course legendary and you can have a really informed discussion with the sommelier and find mature wine in your price range which is rare these days. Including big names at less than retail prices. Amazing. We had the fixed price menu which is the best value and though the choice is small the quality is high. I found the olive tapenade on my Guinea fowl a bit too strong, but otherwise all good and the quenelles and desert were really delicious. We come here rarely but every time it’s a treat. More

Dreadful experience the minute we set foot in this renowned establishment with the Maitre d' refusing to give us a table in the middle when the restaurant was pretty empty: he insisted on sitting us at the very back (with zero view yet the same... extortionate prices!) on the basis that we had not booked several months ahead!! He was snooty and unhelpful. The food was nice but standard boring classical French, nothing to excite the pallet. The waiters were lovely but the atmosphere was zero except for some obsequious manager turning up to say Hi. "SURFAIT" is the word to describe this place, an expensive old-fashioned tourist-trap. Totally uncreative and unexciting food: the silver came out as pure theatre. None of the flair, ingenuity or sense of surprise of Marsan by Helene Darroze for example which is simply terrific. More

We made a reservation for lunch, with a glass of champagne and a tour at the cave included. Our lunch was amazing from the beginning to the end, in every detail. We took our two little daughters with us and we had no problems at... all with that. In fact, the made a different, simpler, menu for them, which was very kind. The service was very attentive and gentle. The food itself was great - we chose the lunch menu (105 euros per person) plus the cheese step (which I strongly recommend). The menu consists in some “amuse bouche”, the a starter (I had the Quenelles and my wife had the egg with mushrooms and truffle, both excellent), the main course (the duck, not the famous pressed one, but still delicious) and the dessert (we had chocolate pie, also very good). Besides the great food and the excellent service, the view from the restaurant is amazing. It’s not cheap, but worths every cent! More

Second visit to this marvelous restaurant! Andre Terrail and his team put on a marvelous display of virtuosity in service. As it was our last day of a 3 week trip to Europe, we over-committed ourselves and arrived quite tardy to the restaurant for our... lunch reservation (I did give the reception updates on our later than expected arrival time). The reception, appreciative of our communications, was kind. The young lady smiled, took our coats and whisked us upstairs to the dining room. The dining room reception was equally warm to our late arrival and then the show began. A fine ballet of wine stewards, front waiters and back waiters effortlessly took care of our every whim and need; discussing everything from menu, wine and desert options to the historial sites viewed from the floor-to-ceiling windows and general history of this temple of cuisine. The service was meticulous and thoughtful and, of course, was the food. Light, elegant and ephemeral flavors as well as rich and seductive flavors….food for the gods! Two of our guests asked for crepes suzette without alcohol and the team happily obliged…table side service of crepes was lovely with fresh juices and rinds of citrus fruit to substitute for the alcohol usually used. The cheers cart is one of the best in the world (you are in France, after all). To cap it all off, it was Three Kings Day, and the restaurant served all guests a portion of the obligatory Galette des Rois…a guest at another table was lucky enough to the find the “crown” in their piece of cake and was provided with a fun crown to wear at the end of their meal. So fun! This place does not skip a beat and deserves every accolade! Thank you! More

Most amazing restaurant. The service was excellent . . . From the young doorman that welcomed us on arrival to the greeting from owner André Terrail at the end of our meal. The location superb, with the Restuarant sitting on the banks of the Seine... with fabulous views towards Notre Dame. The whole meal was an amazing experience, especially the famous pressed duck. Seeing the crepes suzette flambé d by our table was pure magic especially the hand made ice cream. A truly memorable evening in Paris. Thank you More

I and two friends had Sunday lunch at the Tour d'Argent following the recommendation of some of our fellow students in a French immersion program in Tours, France. We enjoyed the view (right beside the window), the service (the sense of humor of our waiters... with our Franglais), and the food. The scallops were amazing and we appreciated the advice of the sommalier since the wine list was a large volume that weighed >15 lbs. We appreciated the warmth of the service and being able to spend several hours eating, drinking, and enjoying each others company. I hope to return on a future visit with my husband or other family members. More

Having heard so much about this restaurant, I was very much looking forward to the evening. Unfortunately however, from the first moments there, I saw that so much was lacking. Upon entering the restaurant 5 minutes before my reservation time, a woman at the door... told me to have a seat and she would get back to me soon. This took me by surprise, as she was not at all welcoming. the two of us sat in the bar lounge as we were told, and there we sat. % minutes passed, then 10 and even 15. No one ever came to us to offer us a drink, or even a glass of water. The game woman saw that I was gettin irritated, and she finally came over to say that she was having to take another group up to theta floor before because she had no where to put them. This seemed like a strange excuse for the delay of over 15 minutes. When she finally came to escort us to the elevator, she asked me what was wrong. I guess she cold tell by my face that I was not happy. I told her that I felt it was inexcusable to keep us waiting for so long, and her only response was that they take one party up the elevator at a time and that's "just how we do it." There was absolutely no apology at all. Then, we finally got to our table, and to add insult to injury, we sat at the table for 7 minus (yes, I counted) until someone finally came to take a drink order. The rest of the evening was filled with mishaps and lack of attention. The space is beautiful and the food was tasty, but the service is amateurish and I would simply not recommend spending $800 a couple for this restaurant. More
