I had the rack of lamb and it was good. Two people at my table had the filet and it was good too. My favorite was the pesto gnocchi. It was spot on. We also had the lava cake, chocolate mousse pyramid, and the apple pie. They were all good but the apple pie was my favorite. For four people we spent about US$300 with no drinks. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $90–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Dietary restrictions: My wife cannot have gluten, dairy or soy. They prepared a filet mignon and vegetables that she could have and a dessert coffee. They were all delicious.

They thankfully found us a table close and it was great. Music was very calm and cozy. Foodwise, the onion soup is amazing, a lot of cheese and rich. The salmon tartar was good but not amazing. The Steak and Fries is fantastic, the sauce on top of the steak is sensational. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We found the food to be very delicious and priced comparable to others in the old city, which is on the pricey side. The place jas a certain ambiance, which we found very pleasant. Caution: Make reservations in advance. We didn't have reservations, but we were fortunate to be seated regardless, but we had a two hour time limit to complete our meal.

When we arrived for our reservation, we were asked to stand to the side for 5 minutes, which turned into at least ten. Then our server did not appear with anything except menus for a long while. During the course of our meal, four different people delivered food, no one asked if we wanted ground pepper on the Caesar salads (squished into a too small bowl), no one refilled water etc. My husnand’s lamb chops were delicious but my Basque chicken was adequate at best. Side vegs (extra order) were lukewarm. The noise was cacophonous (live music from upstairs in particular). Wish we had gone on a quieter evening for the restaurant. We might have had a much better experience.
