Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our waiter Andrew was excellent. He made great suggestions and checked on us frequently. The support wait staff also did a great job. The cassoulet, French onion soup and scallops were delicious. The portions are big and enough for an additional meal at home.

Anis has always been a favorite. The consistency of service and food is astounding. We go several times a year, and have done so for over a decade, and we have literally never had a bad or even mediocre experience. They give 100% every time.
