    Food was very good, as was the service. Oddly, our dinners came out in about 7 minutes, however, which tells me that it is all pre-prepped and heated when needed. Even so, it was all very good. We had a 7PM reservation and were leaving by 7:40, and we had also had dessert!

    Lovely meal of our favorites from Rue d Jean! The snow and ice at the entrance made it a bit tricky to get in but it was warm and inviting once inside. Great service!

    Food and service was very good. The bathrooms smelled bad (like fish) and could have been cleaner.

    We had a dairy allergy in our party. The menu we were given in the restaurant lists which options are dairy free (great!). However, the dairy free entree (Halibut) listed a Velouté sauce. We asked our server, who told us "yes it's dairy free, the sauce just uses butter." So not dairy free. We asked him to confirm with the kitchen, who confirmed the dish uses butter. I'm glad we thought to ask and confirm. Stay away if you have allergies because the menu is misleading and staff uninformed.

    We had reservations for the last night of restaurant week. I have just a few criticisms—first, the food. I ordered the potato soup and chicken franchise. Both were almost too salty to enjoy, and the bed of rice that the chicken was sitting on seemed old and clumpy. The apple crumble was not fresh either. My husband enjoyed the brussel sprout salad and the spinach ravioli. He had no complaints about his meal. My second criticism is the atmosphere. While we loved the place's vibe and the old building we were in, we had to speak loudly to hear each other. That was a bit frustrating to us. Given this experience, we would go again.
