After checking with the kitchen they were pleased to offer it. The restaurant is fairly small so will fill up quickly....Staff were unfriendly and helpful. The food was good and we will return to try some of the other optiins.

We ordered filet streaks and were served their cheaper faux steaks. They charged us for...filet. When we mentioned it, the waitress disappeared and the manager didn’t want to know. We were nothing but polite and friendly to them but they still decided to rip us off! Cannot recommend the place!!!

We ended up eating here three nights in a row and enjoyed a lot of fine traditional savoyarde food. It was not terribly busy and was...mainly families dining. Tartiflette, Raclette, asiette of cured meat and cheese all presented well and very enjoyable. Good desserts.Two very charming and helpful serving staff with good wine recommendations. Worth returning.
