We went last night and - short form - I completely agree with your assessments. I didn't like the sea bream dish particularly much, mostly because I don't like bitter flavors and the only non-bitter flavor in it was the fish itself. I also didn't care for the rose, but that was the only wine I didn't like.
For the savory courses, I'm torn between the pasta and the monkfish for my favorites. For the sweet, I do love chocolate and that preparation was perfect, but I adored the fruit chew, too. My favorite wine was probably the Gentil, because I adore all the wines that make up the blend.
I could go into more details, but really, I think I had much the same experience of the food & drink as you. There were only 8 of us, and I think Chef was a little more comfortable chatting, but he still interacted only when serving and not plating. I'm hoping that changes as well, for the same reasons.

Two thumbs up, will absolutely go again.
