    Very nice place for dinner, both European and Vietnamese (Including Hue specialty dishes). Mrs Chi and her team provide exceptional service. Well worth a try if in town.

    Nice chicken and vegetable soups, very good grilled chicken with chili and lemon grass. Note that this is a fusion restaurant: many European dishes, not real viet food.

    Good food all around. I had the chili/lemongrass mackerel, my friends had the blue cheese pasta. Good crepe desserts and ice cream.

    The duck was excellent, flambe crepe very boozy, a few more and I'd be on my back. Recommended!

    Beef was very good, so were the fresh banana beignets, not too expensive. Lots of smokers inside thoug.

    Just be aware that the sauteed beef with potato and onion means stir fried beef topped with frozen French fries.

    Worst place to eat I tried in Vn. And I tried a lot.noodle soup containes cheapest noodle like doshirak. Meat is rubbish and not eatable. Even french fries is bad. BAD CHOICE IF YOU ARE HUNGRY.

    This is the worst place we ate in during our 2 weeks trip in Vietnam - Lonely Planet, it appears, must work by backhanders!

    Fried rice and fried noodles aren't actually fried. Nor for French nor for Vietnamese food lovers. Overall, mediocre restaurant, service and environment included.

    We tried the spagetti with blue cheese. It was ok I guess but the presentation was awful. Lack of passion all around. Probably lives of some old tip in Lonely Planet. Don't go here.

    It was ok, better to sit outside, no fresh air inside. Food ok. BUT we had better just across the street at USHI. Go there!

    Food was average and overpriced. Typical tourist trap listed in lonely planet. There are better options in town like: duy tan on 12 hung vuong street

    Definitely an example of "lonyplaneted" place. Nothing special, food not worth writing about. Overpriced.
