L'Oursin Bleu - Villefranche-sur-Mer

These folks know what they are doing, but there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm. Our fish and desserts were fine; delighted to have Chateldon sparkling water and a fine Rose'. The fish soup was OK, but not superb. At this price point I expect more passion and empathy.

Whilst walking along the Quai with its many restaurants we were impressed by the clean look and the choices on the menu. We managed to get a table and the meal was excellent , the setting really is stunning as the sun was sitting over the bay. The staff didn’t really interact until the meal was over but they were very efficient.

On a very busy Saturday night everywhere on the Quai Amiral Courbet, we were fortunate to find an open table indeed! Three generations of our family shared a leisurely paced multi-course meal for 5 people that was nicely prepared, very interesting and all served by hard working wait staff all with a great attitude including some nice humor by them towards our grandchildren who ordered a lot of food as athletic adolescents do! Fixed price menu seems fairly priced. Half bottles of wine available: suggest Muscadet with the fish entrées mains.

Delicious dessert the chocolate cake and lemon sorbet combination was amazing. The fish and vegetable dish was great and so warm, you can see the steam in the picture. The soup was horrible. Service was good at first when i was the only customer but as customers started coming in, the service was not good. Had to wait so long for the staff to notice me waving.

The rudeness of the waiter is unprecedented. There was a confusion with the reservation made by the restaurant and how the situation was handled was awful. Avoiding this restaurant from now on despite the food that is very good, hospitality is not a term well known in this place
