We sat outside so had no idea how LOUD dining inside would be. We had reservations for 5 (family lunch) and asked for a quiet table since one guest is hard of hearing. We were seated right under a speaker. I asked a couple of staff if they could turn down the music volume…not realizing there was a live DJ! Everyone - including the wait staff - had a very difficult time hearing across the table! Food was okay. Service was great, as always.

Mussels were delicious, paired when with the fries to create a moules-frites. Hummus dip, Taziki was the best ever, and red pepper spread was distinguished. My guest enjoyed the lobster in a jar starter. A neighborhood gem for sure!

However, the music gave more club vibes rather than dinner. But it was definitely energetic. The food was subpar. We ordered the salmon and steak frites. The steak was well, when we ordered medium which made it seem like it was precooked. The avocado risotto was hard and the entire dish was drenched in sauce, which made it taste watery. Overall for the price, I do not recommend!
