We had a good experience here and would recommend it. My boyfriend ordered the 3-course lunch with the beef carpaccio, lamb shank, and crème brûlée, and I ordered the two-course lunch with goat cheese salad and cod.
Our starters were very good - I really enjoyed the soft goat cheese on the salad with balsamic, and the dressing was delicious. He enjoyed the beef carpaccio and appreciated the large, flavorful capers.
The main dishes were also good - the lamb was well-cooked, but it had curry and thyme, and he commented that the flavor combination was a bit odd. The same applied to the cod: very well-cooked, but I thought the very flavorful, slightly spicy pepper sauce overpowered the fish a little bit.
The crème brûlée had a nice creamy texture and satisfying crunch on the surface, but we felt there was too much rose flavor; it was right on the verge of tasting soapy.
Overall, a good experience. Nice atmosphere, great location in the heart of Gigondas, good food, generous portions, and fair prices. Our server was also accommodating and did not seem annoyed by our poor French.
