I also loved the potato side and the mushrooms. The service was delightful, unrushed and friendly. We lingered over our dinner for over two hours.The creme brulee was perfection, with a light texture and balanced citrus flavor.A perfect location for a special occasion

Escargot come in their shells now and out of 6, 2 were missing. Mussels were dried out and lacked flavor. The broth used to be delicious. Husband's steak was small and fatty. Spent a fortune and left dissatisfied. Drinks were good but very pricey. Server was great. Heated outdoor patio is very nice. Will not return.

My first time here and was a great place for our date night. Our dishes were delicious of halibut and beef and the dessert was a perfect way to end the night. read more My first time here and was a great place for our date night.

At 6:45 we discovered OUR table was going to be combined with the empty, table for 2 to accommodate a party of 6. This changed our entire experience. Four adults sat at that table for2 at 6:45. They pulled chairs and were tightly packed behind my husband’s chair. The other 2 guests joining this party, stoodOVER US waiting for our departure. We were on the outdoor patio, in the front of the building not a lot of space betweentables. The host, SHOULD HAVE mentioned a party of 6 would be arriving AND IF the Table was a TWO HOUR limit neither of thesewere mentioned. We can only eat as fast as we are Served. Fortunately, I took photos of my entrees, which created aTimeline. Speciality Drink arrived 5:25 Appetizer Beef Tartare 5:38 Dinner Cod Trout 6:12 My Dessert 6:37, then my Husbandgot his Dessert 6:42. I RUSHED TERRIBLY to choke down my delicious dessert, because I couldn’t take another minute of 6 peoplestaring me down WANTING our Table! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT for a $139.00 dinner that I looked forward to!! SHAME ON THIS PLACE!!

While their menu has more wine and drinks than main menu items, the food are authentic French dishes that do not disappoint. The wait staff is amazing. There whenyou want them, invisible when you don't. Their advice on menu items was spot on. We could not have had a better time or meal.
