Service was great!! We’ve been there every year for 4 years for my birthday. Several things they should know in the kitchen.: Caesar Salad dressing had too strong of anchovy taste for me. I like just a little. This was stronger than usual. Bread was not salted enough and not with the calories! Mussels had a few tainted ones- make sure they are fresh. The white wine garlic sauce on them was off. I didn’t complain at the restaurant because I was with family. Apple tart- only pretty- not tasty. Everyone else liked their meal as far as I know.

My first time there, and the food and service was wonderful. Not really a busy time, and that was nice! I wanted to try everything on the menu, but settled on the pancetta and Brie…I wanted to lick the plate! I’ll be back with many friends.
