What Ted kelly likes about Balzac:
The menu offers a wide variety of options, from hearty entrees to delightful desserts, sure to satisfy any appetite. The quality and presentation exceed what one might expect from a cozy wine bar. The service is excellent—efficient and friendly—with a staff that's well-informed. The prices for wines and beers are reasonable, with a fantastic selection available. While the cocktails are good, they are a bit on the pri... View all feedback. What Min Keun Yun doesn't like about Balzac:
The food was overly salty and the portions were quite small. The ahi tuna consisted of just three pieces accompanied by four blueberries.
