    The weeks go by, each one different from the last... A month ago, I shared a glowing review after a delicious lunch. The experience prompted me to return last night, and what a disappointment it was: soggy, limp fries; dishes served barely lukewarm; the ratatouille mentioned in the fish course that amounted to three or four cubes of vegetables on the plate; a very generous chocolate fondant, but the ice cream... just two small scoops lost at the bottom of a bowl. It's a shame, because the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. The friendliness and cheerfulness of the waitresses aren't enough to make up for everything else. For us, it's two without three!
