We ordered the pork belly appetizer, which was mostly fat—about two-thirds fat and one-third meat—and the fat was soft rather than crispy. The mussels arrived with very little broth, and they were chewy and lacked flavor. When I brought this up, they offered to provide additional broth instead of remaking the dish. The fries that came with the steak in the steak frites were drenched in oil. While the drinks were enjoyable and the ambiance pleasant, it's a shame that we won't be returning.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and accommodating. read more The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

By the time we got our apps, the dinning room was completely full. The time between the apps and dinner was noticeably long. We didn’t mention anything and were being patient and just continued chit chatting. I love this place so it was nothing pressing to make me no longer want to partake!
