Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great spot for decent food by the beautiful marina. We came back after two days later our first successful visit and the food and service were great again. We recommend the Caesar and the smoked salmon and prawn salad but most of all, we recommend...the warm fondant chocolate desert, which is divine. Will keep returning!More

Bad and inattentive service, average food, overpriced. Two of us had the cod aïoli. Cod was slightly over cooked but the large amount of vegetables that came with it were a soggy overcooked bland mess. My partner had the gnocchis. Granted they made at our...request what was meant to be a side dish served with Daube the main dish. But the gnocchis were also overcooked and had a very hard to describe pasty texture and bad tasting sauce. The waitress was brusque and unfriendly. Had to ask twice for the water, never brought us bread. We have been in the Nice area for a coupon of weeks and this was hands down the worst meal we have had so far. Really surprised at the large amount of glowing reviews on Trip Advisor. Perhaps the chef had a really bad day today but we will not give this place a second chance. The only plus is the prime location right on the harbor.More

We stopped at La Goëlette for lunch after visitng the Villa Ephrussi and strolling down to the village of St Jean Cap Ferrat. It is right on the harbour front. We had a very pleasant "formule" lunch of grilled dorade (sea bass), which was delicious,...plus a dessert. The fish was served with with potatoes, salad and vegetables. Just the right proportions. A glass of white wine accompanied it nicely. A perfect meal. The restaurant was busy and were fortunate to get a table with out booking.More

We had lunch there with friends and we all enjoyed the food. We felt welcome. We had made a reservation (Sunday) and observed many not finding a table so this place must be appreciated by locals. Service was spotless.

After a week wining & dining in places of different price levels, La Goelette was the first place that deserves a mentioning. Not looking at appearance only. Full of flavour. Finally.

This place was a bit of a surprise. We arrived late for lunch and were asked to come back in 10 mins as the kitchen was very busy. We did and waited a while to be served. Once the food arrived all was forgotten -...the plat du jour of sea bream with potatoes, vegetables and salad was superb. The menu included a nice glass of wine and a dessert for €22 which was very good given the location and the quality.More

This was my favorite meal on the riviera. The food is authentic and delicious. The portions are huge and good value. The location and view are wonderful. You feel in an authentic, French restaurant with tradition. I loved it.

Brilliant food and exceptional service! My first time visiting this restaurant and will definitely be back. The owner could not be more helpful. We had the steak and cod and both were exceptional. The owner made the meal even better with his attentiveness and for...some reason our card wouldn’t work and he offered that we could settle the bill in the morning. He even gave us a gift at the end which was very unexpected but very much appreciated! Great restaurant, would definitely recommend to anyone in the Cap Ferrat area!More
