    We were a party of 7. Went to la Terrasse for a Birthday. We had a booking, check in went smoothly. We ordered Cocktails, which came in a decent amount of time. After that orders for appetizers and main courses were taken. We wait a bit but Food was overall excellent. Desserts were even better! Service was impeccable with friendly staff. The ambiance was really average, no loud music so we were able to hear each other well even the tables around, but would have been nice to have an ambiance at least, but thats just a suggestion! But I do recommend to try this restaurant. It s really good!
