    The service was friendly and responsive. Our server, Josh, was particularly good. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and answered all our questions very patiently. The food was well prepared and delicious. The drinks were great.

    We had a wonderful lunch and dessert. We had a great bottle of French wine for a very good price. Our server could not have been nicer. And the restaurant was beautifully decorated for the season!

    Great location . High end atmosphere . Very good service . Interesting and diverse menu . Two of the items we ordered (one special and one dessert menu ) were out but we were only informed after we ordered . We would go back again however
    Forgotten TonicResponded on 11 November 2024
    Thank you, Amanda! We’re thrilled you enjoyed our location on historic Aviles St., the high-end atmosphere, and our diverse menu. We’re sorry a couple of your choices weren’t available—since we use fresh ingredients and make everything from scratch, we occasionally run out, especially with our limited storage space. We appreciate your understanding and are so glad to hear you’d visit us again. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to make your next visit even better!

    Came in for lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. The butter with the warm bread appetizer was amazing. Our daughter loved the names of the dishes on the kids menu. She chose "I don't want that" and gave it two thumbs up. My wife tried the Shrimp & Grits Etouffee and I had the Pasta Alla Vodka with grilled chicken (additional cost for the chicken). Both dishes were awesome, and seasoned perfectly. Recommend this place for a date night or social gathering.

    Thank you, Tobias! We’re thrilled to hear your lunch was a hit, from the delicious buttered bread to the fun names on the kids' menu! It’s great to know everyone enjoyed their dishes, we put a lot of care into seasoning and flavors, so your kind words mean a lot to us. Thanks for the recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you all back soon for another memorable meal on Aviles St.!
