    Boyfriend and I went and split three dishes, which came recommended from a server. Onion soup, warm shrimp salad, and the steak frites. Everything was fantastic. We ordered our steak medium, and it came out very medium rare. Our server returned it, the manager came out and apologized. They returned with a corrected steak and more frites. Definitely recommend eating the frites with the steak in one bite. Good one their own but together- chef’s kiss! All of the food was incredible, and felt like we were back in Paris for an hour. Only critique would be for the bread to come warm to the table, or the butter to be softened so it could easily spread on the bread.

    We were a party of 6 (made the reservation the same day and had 2 openings - thank goodness) and each person got something different so we got a bunch of items. All of our drinks were mixed well and the holiday coquito was a surprise as it was a house special. -Nachos came loaded & the street corn was amazing! - House guac and churros were pretty basic but overall good. Churros were dry and needed that "sugar seasoning" - Compared to all the apps, the Quesadilla was on the smaller size; think 4-5 pieces tiny pieces (looked like some kid's meal). - Entrees (Salmon, Steak, Chicken, tacos) serving sizes were up to par and cooked to perfection. Our server (Lenny) was ON POINT with everything; he remembered all the orders w/o writing them down and kept the refills on rotation. He kept circling making sure we were doing okay and never had to ask for anything twice. The customer service and attention to detail along with the the other waitstaff (servers, food runners, host) were also on point; no one had to wait on food and their turnover from apps/entree/dessert was top. It made the overall experience a delight.
