    Our server, Morgan, was first rate. Just the right balance of attentiveness mixed with professionalism! Definitely will be back. Cassandra from pastries was truly a special experience. She gifted us with some appetizer samples and carefully explained the ingredients. She was truly the gift. Thank you Morgan & Cassandra!❤️ The entire night reminded us of Le Grand Colbert. Awesome!

    Delicious! My husband loved the seafood stew he got. I really enjoyed my burger. The wine was delish too. No complaints.

    We dine frequently at this gem of a restaurant. I had the special, a short rib in red wine sauce which was delicious. Every component was perfectly cooked , the beef tender, but not overcooked, with crisp carrots and onions over puréed potatoes. Don’t miss the brioche which melts in your mouth. The staff was welcoming and just the right amount of attentive.
