We chose Au Sésame for a midday dinner with colleagues, attracted by the positive reviews of the cuisine. And indeed, the dishes were delicious! The menu (starter, main course, drink) was tasty and well presented.
However, the experience was marred by several negative points. The service was extremely slow, whether it was taking the order or getting the invoice. This can be very frustrating, especially on a lunch break when time is of the essence.
Additionally, the noise level was unbearable. The ambient noise was so intense that it was impossible to chat, even between colleagues sitting side by side. This greatly affected the ambiance and enjoyment of the meal.
In summary, excellent food, but service and acoustic issues that make the experience difficult to recommend for a lunch with colleagues.

The setting is very nice, we had a attentive waiter. The meal was delicious and they gave my daughter a dessert for her birthday. Very nice, we recommend and above all we will come back.

The service here is truly impeccable.
Our server, a young man with short hair, was very attentive and polite.
We ordered the butter chicken and a poké bowl, and it was delicious. Additionally, the portions were very generous.
Thank you so much !

We had booked for a group of people for our colleague's retreat. We had booked at the base for 25 people and we called the day before to say that we were going to be a lot less, due to last minute cancellations. We were the only ones arriving around 5 p.m., it was super quiet. We had just ordered our drink when the restaurant manager asked to speak with my colleague who made the reservation. He said in a rude and condescending manner that we were going to be charged because we had not respected the original number of people on the reservation. We understand, because we work in the tourism industry, but no hello and in that tone, it completely put us in the cold. This completely ruined our moment and we didn't feel welcome especially for our colleague's departure. She herself had to negotiate towards the end of our meal so that the manager understood our situation. Or, we have our share of responsibility, but he has a nicer way of doing things than this. Unfortunately, we will no longer recommend your restaurant to our hotel guests. This is sad and I will never come back again.

Staff seemed uninterested. Dumplings didn’t taste like much but general tao was decent, nothing special. Ambiance was nice. Not worth the price.

Never been treated so poorly. Waited 15 minutes at the door, plenty of room. Were told eventually that they had to clear a table and then came back a minute later to tell us that the owner "didn't want anymore people in" at 7.30 in the evening. Absolute disgrace.

It took them 32 mins to serve us water and 52 min to bring us the drinks. After the appetizers were served, we sat for another 20mins for the rest of the food. They did come and apologize for the delay but when you’re hungry and come to a restaurant to eat, you do expect they provide some attention. There was a lack of attention even when we requested them to take our order.
