    Excellent complimentary croissant! Service is excellent. Restaurant is somewhat cavernous rather than a cozy dining experience, which some people may enjoy. Food is very good.

    Without peer, this is our favorite restaurant! We reserved a table outside so we could enjoy the sunset. Magical and peaceful. As always, the welcome was genuine and warm. The service was professional and attentive but not overbearing. The food is perfectly prepared, exactly to order, presented expertly, and superbly delicious. As the coolness of the evening wore on, we were kept toasty warm by two patio heaters. Desert was extraordinary and unique. Although the cost is on the expensive side, in this case, “you get what you pay for.” A fantastic location for a special occasion, a business dinner, or date night. Highly recommended!

    The salmon was exquisite. The service was excellent. It’s a favorite dining spot. We’ve been there 3 Wednesdays in a row. The last time there were 2 young boys at the next table. They were so well behaved we complimented the parents. Maybe the ambience of the restaurant also inspired their behavior.
