    Outstanding!! I normally do not like to go to restaurants on days they have special menus. However, the Valentine's choices were wonderful! The lobster and tuna appetizers were delicious, as were the Branzino entree and the luscious raspberry tarts! Julio's service was so refined and helpful, as usual. And James opened a lovely burgundy and provided a delightful evening surprise!! I love going here. I wish I could enjoy the cuisine and service more often. My go-to spot for top flight dining and service in the region.

    This is a really great place with fantastic food. The price is reasonable, actually less than many other French type restaurants. My steak was great and my wife and our friends loved their food. Our red wine was great and very reasonable in price. Fresh flowers all over the place, really beautiful. We had fun and stayed for almost 3 hours.
