Open for dinner ONLY. This is the restaurant that replaced the old Italian family-style Flagler's on the second floor of the hotel. It's definitely a step up. Billed as the largest of the hotel's restaurants featuring market fresh cuisine from the South of France. I would say the market fresh part is correct, but to me the cuisine is along the New World/Fusion style - fresh ingredients combined in innovative & surprising ways. Guaranteed to tickle the taste buds.
Not only is the food a departure from the hotel's Victorian theme, but so is the decor - open and bright with modern geometric designs.
We arrived right as the restaurant was opening for the evening. Our table faced the working kitchen. For a starter, we had a fresh cream of broccoli soup that was ladled over seared jumbo scallops garnished with cheese & chives. Beef carparria followed by seafood filled ravioli in a light broth. For dessert - gingerbread with apple sorbet (all make right there in the restaurant) with carmelized apples. Every
course was a total taste treat!
Nice wine selection (we had a '97 Chinon). Go! Enjoy!
