    What a spectacular gem we so enjoyed on vacation! The wait staff, delicious food and ambiance was so very special! I would highly recommend this special hidden gem. I recommend eating outdoors among the garden of softly lit trees that surround each table.

    Disappointed they took some of the charm of the restaurant away. Board specials were only brought upon request and did not have the specials. Options were much more limited than in the past and favorites such as the crab salad, Dover Sole, and others were removed. Almost seemed like any other place in town rather than what it was. Will think again whether this is a place for celebrations or not. Also, they oddly walk you through the dining room before outside rather than through the bar.

    The atmosphere outside was very nice. Our waitress was either really busy or something else was going on but she wasn’t great, however the supporting staff, busboys and other supporting dinner staff were very attentive! The appetizers were very good but the entrees were disappointing. When we left there was no one at the exit of the restaurant to acknowledge our patronage and thank us for coming in. My first time here. I’d give it another try but wouldn’t rush back.

    Everything was amazing at Le Vallauris, to the ambience, the food, and service. Only mess up that I encountered was the Caesar Salad had only a couple croutons and two pieces of parmesan cheese. I won’t let that bring down my rating, it was an amazing experience and I am glad I got to go with my girlfriend! Thank you Chef Gabriel and Manager Robert!!

    I was pretty disappointed last night. We go to Le Vallauris quite a bit. The atmosphere is very special. They really need to improve the food quality. I had the scallops. They were covered in shredded filo pastry (I think). Really unappetizing. They would be better off to serve pan seared on a bed of endive salad (not drenched) in a light vinaigrette. My husbands branzino on the other hand was excellent so I remain hopeful that they can achieve much better.
