L'equipage - Cherbourg-en-Cotentin

Very convenient when you have arrived by yacht and it is raining. Apart from a small disagreement over the numbers booked where the staff handled it badly the new waitress was very good. The food was above average, an excellent mixed seafood starters, a very...good entrecote steak, and wonderful desserts.

The food was excellent, the oysters too. I recommend the turbofish with Risotto. The staff was pretty friendly. Good experience.

We wanted a drink with the intention of having a meal. I ordered a campari soda, they had no idea what was soda, so I had Perrier water with it. I asked for ice cream in my drink so that the young blonde haired female bartender... wanted to put her hand in the ice cup and put a block in my drink that she had held on the edge. I was shocked, but I said I would like a lot more. Then she put both hands in the ice cup and put more in my drink. Then I went out of the drink. I asked her if she always used her hands to get ice, she said it wasn't wrong with my hands! I was disgusting when a dirty gypsum was. I refused the drink and asked for a fresh one. She was bolchy and, in my opinion, should be taught hygiene. Of course we didn't eat in the restaurant as if there was hygiene policy I would avoid it unless you want to get sick.

The food was quite disappointing: the ordered turbot seemed to be a tiny fillet, French pommes clog together... Entrecote ordered medium was well done. Not even the slightest excuses of the waiters. And an invoice, which was between reasonable and quite high, should be all... very good.

We were a large group staying at the marina and had arranged to eat at the restaurant for one night. The food was good and nicely served, but it took a long time to arrive. Consequently it was very late when we finished. It think the service issues are unlikely to be such a problem for smaller groups.
