Les Jardins de la Saone - Tournus

You might know wine. They KNOW wine.

Looking forward to a great lunch, we were disappointed as their kitchen is closed until September (the owner'S wife/cook is expecting and away).

Each visit to this restaurant has been an absolute pleasure. They make you feel very welcome and the service is friendly and intimate..

A nice welcome, a nice place, nice but a flat, the waitress tells us that the carafe water has a taste that it is better to take a bottle. It's a bad business. not cool !! more she still has to review her service

Family lunch on a Sunday in August. we reserve a table on the terrace. The person on the phone tells us that it's not a problem and we can have lunch outside. We arrive, the restaurant displays full at the entrance of the parking lot.However we observe when arriving that only a few tables are occupied and only in the room. Nobody outside. We are told that our table is in the room and that there is no service on the terrace. However, the sun is at the rendezvous and the terrace is sadly empty...We take 3 menus, a à la carte dish with a cheese plate and a child menu that we water with a bottle of wine and sparkling water before concluding with a coffee. Regarding the child menu at 12 euros, no choice (syrup, burger and 2 ice balls). So we ask the waitress (charmante) if it's a problem to change the drink (my daughter doesn't like water syrup) and dessert (my daughter doesn't like ice). the waitress tells us that it doesn't cause any concern and that this change does not pose any difficulties. She doesn't mention any supplements. It's gone for a glass of orange juice and a cream with a dessert. With regard to the cheese plate, we are told that we must order it from the beginning of the meal so that the kitchen has the time to prepare it)?(.The menus are correct (without the price. Big doubt about fish and frogs. in my opinion frozen). rather good but simple entries. Basic desserts, no more. 7-euro ridiculous cheese plate, 4 tiny pieces of cheese lost in a large plate.Menu child: very medium hamburger, macdo level and about ten fries type potatoes : 12 euros anyway.Petites disappointments already. confirmed by the addition since at the child menu at 12 euros were added the price of orange juice and the price of dessert à la carte (when these supplements were not announced). When I am surprised at the boss, he answers me that it is obvious that these more are billed (and at the high price) since not included in the child menu. in total: 180 euros! Add a little salty for a just average lunch. Too bad the waitress was charming and the pleasant setting. We understood for what in this Sunday of August the restaurant terrace was empty while the tables around were full. We're not coming back.
