Our table for five (booked in advance) was so close to the adjoining two tables that we could have eaten quite comfortably on those, without moving our chairs. Upon suggesting that it would be impossible to sit so close....(we wouldn't have been able to move at all)...the arrogant owner, to whom we had addressed our polite concerns in fluent French...just... more

We had been warned to expect rude Staff and tables close together but good food. On arrival for our table for 2 booked 1 week in advance we were completely ignored by all the Staff and especially by La Madame running the show with her little dog in tow !! Eventually we were pointed to an area outside and told... more

While both the location and the food were good in this restaurant, I would never go back. This was the only time in two weeks in France that we encountered the classic nasty attitude that the French have a reputation for. We had made a reservation through our hotel. When we got there, we were shown a table that was... more

We dropped by the restaurant in the afternoon to make dinner reservations. Nicole, the owner, gave us the once over. We weren't sure she would let us in. We promised to clean up prior to our return and reluctantly, she wrote our names down for 8:00 p.m. We showed up promptly and were met with disdain. Again rather reluctantly, we... more

First of all: Throw away any expectations of service ala Guide Michelin. To my knowledge, this restaurant doesn't hold any stars in that guide, although the prices more than indicate it. I guess they've just found their formula, and they stick to it. Ordinary service may not be the most important ingredient, but the main ingredients are divine! We've been... more

Rude & arrogant staff. Management who are plainly not interested in anyone who is not one of the local Nice glitterati. Average food. High prices, Tables too close together. Just plain horrible. A waste of money and a terrible place. more

At half the price, this would be an adequate restaurant, if nothing special. Too many people are packed in, service during our visit was off-hand if reasonably efficient, the food was uninspired bistro fare, most of the wine was grotesquely overpriced. For me, once was more than enough. Nice has so much better to offer. more

We visited La Petite Maison for my Dad's 60th at the end of Dec 08. We had a table booked for 5 via email for 8pm and when we arrived it was empty, apart from the 2 obligatory snooty French waiters. By 9pm, the place was jam packed and full of atmosphere, people were queuing at the door. We were... more

This local cuisine restaurant offers great food (particularly the appetizer sampler). This is a very popular restaurant so this is quite crowded and a little bit noisy. I would say that this is maybe a better restaurant to come as a group than for romantic dinners. Good service too and the patio is very nice. more

There are two types of customers at this restaurant - those the management know and those they don't. If you belong to the former it's a great restaurant - if pricey. If in the latter you're totally invisible - expect to be ignored and treated with contempt. The food is OK but not worth the humiliation. Don't go (unless you're... more
