First visit and we will be back! We arrived early and enjoyed a cocktail in the bar. The bartender explained the origins of the cuisine and recommended excellent drinks for our group. Moved to our table and had an excellent experience for the next 2 hours. We tried several different ceviches and chaufas, as well as a noodle dish. Highly recommend!

The new concept for a French Bistro is working very well! The food is amazing, with many old favorites and some great new dishes - try them all! (For those who don't know, this used to be Russia House, and it continues to be owned and operated by the same exquisite Russia House hosts.) Visit once, you'll be hooked. Visit again, and you'll feel like you're being welcomed into their home.
