The shrimp wasn’t seasoned and tasted frozen. Absolutely zero taste and would not order again.

I stopped by for a quick bite. I wish the Steak Sandwich were a bit larger and served with less fries.

Everything tasted great but the steak should have been seasoned and tenderized. The French onion soup is my favorite. I fell in love with the mixed greens salad.

Lunch with 3 friends. Quiche, Onion soup and Lobster bites, Cobb salad with lobster. All were outstanding. Generous portion of lobster added to salad for $12. Worth it. Quiche was creamy and delicious. The lobster bites are more like a cheesy thermidor little casserole, and they pack so much flavor into the little dish. Very rich, as is the soup, so know that you will need some cardiac exercise after eating these items. Would be worth it.

Went during Restaurant Week. Wouldn’t return. First time I’ve ever had vichyssoise served hot and it wasn’t good. Everything was salty. Just not worth the money.

Service was very slow. Took our drink orders and we were ready to order food shortly after. Noticed no servers or employees were serving the 4 other tables either. Drinks finally came for every single table at the same time. I tried to order the Salad Lyonnaise, they were out of that. Then I tried to order the Superb Roast Chicken Thigh, only to be told that they didn’t have that either. They were also out of the Burrata Appetizer. Altogether, as our server notified us, they only had 4 of the 7 entrees, steak, pasta, and two salmon dishes. I opted for the Salmon Cake. A salad took over most of the plate and the salmon cake was dry.
