Additional Details
The restaurant is part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio and is located within Le Méridien Nice hotel.
After a long day exploring Nice we were too tired to wander far from our hotel so we went upstairs without a reservation and the maitre de graciously seated us at an outside table with a magnificent view of the Mediterranean. The service was a bit on the slow side but the drinks were generous and the food was worth the wait. The veal Piccata was delicious and the desserts were extremely good. I would highly recommend.
We had a terrible experience with the service at this restaurant. I won't go into details, but for a typical restaurant the glass on the terrace is dirty and has terrible stains. The food btw was bad, too.
I would like to pay special attention to the behavior of the waiter. After he asked what we would like to eat (30 seconds after we were brought the menu) we ordered our food and cocktails, since we looked at the online menu on the way to the restaurant and clearly knew what dishes we wanted. After that, he looked at us contemptuously, said "in general, I wanted to tell you what exactly is on our menu. Did you even reserve this table?", we answered that we did, and after that he asked about our reservation from other employees. I would like to clarify that we were dressed according to the dress code and were polite to the staff, so this behavior is doubly surprising.
When we called him to order something, or ask for the bill, he didn't come up to us, but just stood a few meters away, and we had to shout over the music to order something.
Later, after we asked him for the bill - he took our plates (which were more than half full) and didn't even ask if we had finished. I think this restaurant is not worth your attention at all and it's better to look for something authentic.

One of the best food experiences in Nice!
The food was absolutely amazing and the servers are really nice. The weather wasn’t the best when food was about to arrive so they moved us in where we still had an amazing view on the sea of Nice.
I highly recommend this place for all olives and olive oil lovers.

I had an absolutely amazing experience here. I was traveling Solo in Nice and was looking for some fun experiences to make and treat myself. Even though I came without a reservation, the staff did their all to accommodate me. They then told me that a table might be free after circa 30min so they seated me in the drinks area. There I enjoyed a really nice Mocktail and the stunning view. When I got seated for dinner I ordered this amazing Cheeseburger and I don’t think you can perfect it more than it was. The chef knows what they’re doing! I stayed until the late evening but no one rushed me and I could enjoy my time as much as I wanted to. In general everyone was just so kind and I could tell they were making an effort so that each guest had a good time. I recommend this place to everyone looking for a great and fancy dinner experience with atmosphere.
