"Pleasant setting for this small restaurant, tables both inside and out, a very friendly welcome and helpful, prompt service. Good wine selection and prices what you might expect in this part of the world, that is to say, quite high, particularly with the current exchange rate being what it is and dinner being a la carte. Cash only, note. We had two starters, two mains and a bottle of white wine which came to 76 Euros. Endives in a Roquefort sauce were lovely. The pile of deep fried shrimp, allegedly a speciality, were a picture on the plate served in a kind of origami poppadom, but, accompanied by some flavourless runny salsa and a dressed lettuce leaf, were nothing special in the mouth. Squid ink risotto served with one grilled king prawn was pleasant, but not memorable (and pricey for what is essentially black rice pudding). The swordfish was grilled satisfactorily but the accompaniments were odd: a single boiled potato with some courgette tagliatelle, plus mini courgettes cut lengthways, and more of the runny salsa, which altogether was just....meh as other reviewers have described it a flavourless swamp on a plate. Rather surprised that previous comments to this effect have not been listened to by the management. Declining to risk further disappointment with the pudding selection, we paid and left and probably wouldn't bother to return. We were expecting something outstanding, with flavours to surprise and excite the palate; if this is the best that Sete has to offer, as some have claimed, then perhaps better to eat in another town?"
