We went to the restaurant over Christmas break 2023. We couldn’t recommend the restaurant more, it was everything we could have dreamed of, the food, the wine and the services was amazing. We came as a big group of 8 people and we all had a great time and enjoyed our experience.

I reserved a table for a group of 4 . The reservation was made in October for a table in December. I received a confirmation through Michelin Guide and another through The Fork. Then another email which demanded a credit card to hold the reservation. I provided my American Express Platinum and received another confirmation the night before.
Our group traveled three hours by car to Auberge du Cheval Blanc. Upon arrival, a rude front desk clerk immediately advised that I had canceled the reservation. I shared that I had not and offered to show her the confirmation email from just the night prior. She ignored it and then advised that I must have made the reservation at a different restaurant. I showed her the name and address on the reservation; it was the correct location. She next advised that I was late – I again showed her the confirmation with the correct time; she was still not interested in looking at it. She now proceeded to tell me that they had cancelled my reservation because I had not given them a credit card, again, I told her that was not possible. I provided the information 2 months prior.
Long story short, the clerk was hellbent on making me feel like I was the problem. She ignored any evidence to the contrary including the 4 confirmation emails I showed her. She was rude, unprofessional, had a poor attitude, and clearly zero training in customer service. Instead of eagerness to find out what went wrong within their system or reservation process, she treated us like unworthy peasants that must be thrown out of the establishment.  Carol Bastian later joined us and requested we email her all our confirmations. We did as asked but never received as much as an apology or a reply.

I have never experienced this horrid of service. And this from a 2-star Michelin restaurant. And imagine this: They refused to serve us but sent us an email the NEXT DAY wanting us to leave a review of our dining experience!

Here it is: Stay away and seek out one of the many establishments that can offer great food AND service.

We booked a table for four at Auberege du Cheval Blanc through the Fork.

We received numerous emails prior to our visit from The Fork, Michelin and from Auberege du Cheval prior to our visit. This included a request for a credit card which we responded to.

We even received a confirmation email from the restaurant the day before our visit.

When we arrived, we were told by a stern faced young lady that there is no reservation. We must be at the wrong restaurant.

We then showed the confirmation email. We were then told we hadn’t provided credit card information. We then showed the confirmation we had. We were then told there is no table available.

As gracious as we were through this exchange and requesting to have them make some accommodations of any sort, the women at the desk never cracked a smile, never apologized for any mistakes even as we continued to show proof of our reservation for that date (December 17, 2023) and that seating.  She continued with a self-righteous attitude in the face of documentation to the contrary.

She then begrudgingly got the Chef’s wife to come out. This time only with acknowledgement of their errors. Not once was an I’m sorry uttered or any apology or reparation made. No offer of attending a different day, no accommodation of any sort.

I truly find it shocking that an establishment with such a lack of service or quality of management has earned a Michelin Star.

A Michelin Star used to carry a level of service and professionalism as well as the quality of the food and dining experience. I am saddened that I feel I can no longer depend on a Michelin Guide rating.

Very appointed service; in touch with it's two star rating. Cuisine was excellent with appropriate portions for a five course meal. The wine pairing were very nicely done and an extra pour was allowed at no charge. The rooms are nice with some garden and hillside views. The carpet needs replacing but otherwise very nice. Breakfast was very nice with a lovely glassed in sunroom for eating. Prices are in line with the overall experience. We would return; for sure.  Ken & Caroline Knapp

Just a visit in the restaurant 2 stars.
Food is certainly way over average, but 2 stars level was not reached. There are better ones in the area.
The accompanying wines where nice, but the sommelier very slow and stingy on top. A small sip in the glas that was it. A request for more was like a joke. Of course sir. You may have more. He just filled up the bottom of the glas. My lady guest was left out. I know others that know how to treat customers much better.
After the order was done, the menu disappeared. 7 courses . Would have been nice to be able to follow the the sequence of the courses.
Most interesting is the philosophy of using one type of white wine glas for all wines. Upon request there was a kind of red wine glas available. However the sommelier was astonished about the request. What a surprise.
The accompanying wines were nice, but not all acceptable. But upon request they made it up for a better choice.
Will see, what is happening next. I report live.
Over all the wine selection was okay, but not more than okay. In other comparable places there are better choices offered.
Now let’s talk about cheese. Wonderful selection. But if you have forgotten to leave some bread on your plate, you would have to eat the cheese with no bread. They offered at least some wine or port . But the portion was mini. By the way, cheese yes, nuts, grapes or similar ZERO.
Let’s talk about dessert. 1st desert was strawberries and co. Okay, but nothing special. The sommelier very creative offers the same wine for the 2 deserts. What a guy. I would discontinue my relationship with him.
It was my birthday that I announced upon reservation. I got a candle and some more sweets. But the problem was, I could not eat this. There were no cutlery. So I took my fingers to get a tate.
The best was the Alsace apricot liquor.
What a day, what a birthday and what a disappointing experience.
