Reasonably good choices are offered in various menu options, wine list quite extensive and contains some trophy bottles though the mark-up  and corkage is near the upper end of current market standards.  Individual dishes are quite good:   Smoked Seabream / Pickled Turnip / French Yuzu - refreshing, nice presentation, good tasteEscargot / Mushroom / Pastis Sauce / Tarragon - rich and creamy, with a hint of spiciness, the diced mushroom taste better than the escargotYAKIFRENCHY - the Chilean Sea

Reasonably good choices are offered in various menu options, wine list quite extensive and contains some trophy bottles though the mark-up  and corkage is near the upper end of current market standards.  Individual dishes are quite good: 
 
Smoked Seabream / Pickled Turnip / French Yuzu - refreshing, nice presentation, good taste

Escargot / Mushroom / Pastis Sauce / Tarragon - rich and creamy, with a hint of spiciness, the diced mushroom taste better than the escargot

YAKIFRENCHY - the Chilean Sea Bass / Caramel Spices was great but Pork Belly / Garlic was over-cooked and chewy, though the flavour was intense and could be further improved if bread was provided.

Scorpion Fish / Charcoal / Bell Pepper Vierge Cherry Vinegar - very good both in terms of texture of the fish and the e bell pepper accompaniment 

Pot Au Feu / Vegetable / Horseradish Cream - classic winter dish but light on flavour, could perhaps have more soup and served in a bowl rather than a dish to keep warm and moist.  

Poached Fresh Pear / Red wine / Cinnamon / Whipped Cream / Milk Ice Cream - very good

Hot Camembert / Baguette / Honey (+$38) - this one was far too large in portion, 8 pieces of toasted baguette and a whole bowl of melted camembert,  it can be offered as main course to share!  
Other Info. : Individually the dishes were all good, but as a menu it left much to be desired. I asked for bread after the starters were served and was informed it would take 15min to get the baguette and/or sourdough to be ready, it would be better if the waiter announce this at the beginning of the meal before we place the order to get the bread ready for the meal. As it were, 8 pieces of baguette were served after the meal and i only had space for one, what a waste! Also the portion size of the camembert can be reduced to 1/4, it's not apres-ski fondue !
