    Very nice experience! The food was excellent. Emmanuel and the staff were very good, welcoming, friendly and appropriately attentive. (Not overbearing, but there when needed with excellent insight to the food and wine, and some interesting history on the location) This is definitely a top shelf experience and steak house. I highly recommend it for a great night out.

    Wonderful dinner and ambiance. The inside is very interesting and nice. Service was outstanding. We loved the food but even the cocktails were superbly made. Best French 75 my wife said she ever had. Can't comment on desert because food was so good and portions well done that didn't have room!

    Good to be back again and find some nice improvements. The menu has been revamped after years of growing stale with the same old/same old, each of the salads and appetizers we tried were well executed and the rockfish entree was very good. They still split portions for my wife and myself since we like to share giving us the opportunity to try more dishes.
