Restaurant L'Instant - Sainte-Maxime

My husband and I with our 2 kids got to there at 1:45pm, a waitress with unwelcome attitude told us the cuisine was closed, so we couldn't choose what we wanted, only the food what they wanted to do. That was very surprising, because the close time of this restaurant is 2:30pm, I thought I had the right to order the food. On the other hand, there are many construction sites around this restaurant, so the environment is not good. 中午从图书馆出来一看时间有些晚，在网上看到这家饭店评分不低而且还来到2点30，所以1点45就赶到这里。说实话这家饭店店面包括陈设看起来都很一般，只有一名服务员态度也很一般，坐下后差不多等了5分钟这位服务员才姗姗而来，说什么厨房关了所以只有什么可以吃，小孩子也只能吃什么什么，完全是打发人的节奏。这家饭店的plat du jour要19欧，比起一般的饭店要贵出很多，就这样一个价位不低的饭店的服务质量真心是太差，随即决定走人。或许味道还不错，但就环境和服务，这个评分实在是有些太高了。另外周围很多建筑工地，乌烟瘴气的，不吃也罢！

We sat "outside" under a canvas that protected is from the night chill, and did enjoy a very good meal. Service was always with a smile. The chief even came to inform if all was going well, quite rare in a restaurant nowadays!

His is my parents favorite restaurant and I understand why. We had dinner with my two kids and this is the first time both of them eat a hole meal without any fuss. The staff is outstanding and the food is amongst the best I´ve eaten.The view isn´t the best but the food and staff makes you forget about that =)The interior is warm and fresh.I highly recommend this restaurant for both families with our without kids.

We have wanted to return, hoping we would not be disappointed and definitely weren't,. The food again was superb, the service beyond reproach, the bill surprisingly reasonable for top quality food! The little things that made this place special:Great steaks - if you don't want XXL they will adjust size and reduce price accordingly, the food is cooked with love, attention to detail is amazing.The desserts were tempting, as they are an art firm in themselves!The chef takes the time to check that everything is as expected, such a nice touch in a busy world.You are felt to be important as you are to maintaining the high standards in food and service and the price unbelievably reasonable, yet again our number 1 favourite!Don't be put off by the location, the food is worth the lack of views!!!

Good service, beautiful place, great food and low price. the staff and exemplary and the bosses are adorable!
