    The food was fresh, cooked perfectly, and absolutely delicious. I have never eaten a lamb burger, but now I am hooked. The atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. We also appreciated the 4% administration fee that goes to the kitchen team, which is so important.

    This is a very nice neighborhood restaurant. The service was prompt but not overbearing the ambiance was comfortable. We sat in the back room, which is cozier than the front room and tonight was actually quieter (not always the case). The food was delicious. I had the duck and it was prepared excellently. done medium rare with a very tasty carmelized orange sauce. My wife had the lamb riblets that were also done perfectly and very tasty. We also had an arugula salad that was equally well prepared (a flavorful dressing). For desert we had the Nutella chocolate mouse which was rich, smooth and creamy. All in all, a very nice dinner.
