Frommer's Review
This restaurant is a gastronomic wonder. It has a panoramic glass ceiling, a gray-and-green translucent dome designed by Gustav Eiffel, the architect who conceived the famous tower. Chef Eric Brifford keeps the crowds lined up. Menu items focus on Provençal models and change every 2 months, based on whatever is fresh. That might be the Landes duck foie gras for starters (a touch of ginger is added). The blue lobster is salt cooked and aromatic with spices and served with lemon gnocchi. Other delights are the young pigeon with a five-spice glaze and tamarind jus. Candles illuminate the place; during dinner, live piano music reverberates off the dome.
Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

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.
