Frommer's Review
This grand and elegant "brasserie de luxe" is in a lakeside pavilion, the dining room resembling a Paris cafe, with mirrors, pillars, cheerfully striped banquettes, bay windows, a flowery terrace, and a bustling environment that's less chillingly formal than you might have expected. Typical tasty dishes, made only with the freshest ingredients, include a superb version of steak tartare prepared on a trolley directly at table; a very fresh salad of wild mesclun greens with chevre (goat cheese); filets of sole either grilled or breaded and fried meuniere style; fricassee of chicken flavored with vinegar and tarragon; a satay of red tuna, skewered and served with peanut sauce; and tagliatelle with seafood. Sumptuous desserts can be ordered from the trolley.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
