    A really nice meal for the four of us. Wine list is good value but not overly extensive list which made choosing easy. The food was really good! Comfort food with a French twist. I had the 1/2 boneless chicken over spinach and sauce. It was excellent. My son had a steak which was cooked perfectly. Salads were super large and tasty. Nice atmosphere with a beautiful bar area. Staff was very attentive. Highly recommend.

    We had been sitting a while before I requested for a waiter. It was longer then then the normal wait time. One waiter started us off and then the person who was suppose to be our waiter picked up. Maybe the next time it will different.

    They had overbooked the restaurant for Valentines day so there was a constant amount of traffic at the door. Our waiter was overwhelmed, and forgot us a few times. It was a set menu but my wife and I ordered the same starter… didn’t look the same. We also had the wagyu beef for an extra charge… worst wagyu beef that I have ever had. Its a shame because I think they normally do a good job there but too many people and as a result the food, the service and the ambience suffered.

    First timers. The food was solid but we have had better. It was also served just acceptable hot. We enjoyed the overall experience but a bit expensive for the quality of meat.

    Excellent, fresh food. Lovely, attentive staff. Comfortable pretty restaurant that is not loud! The four of us enjoyed all the appetizers and main dishes we ordered: buffalo chicken sandwiches, Kale salad, Mussels, Onion soup, Pasta with short ribs, coffee, and creme brulee for dessert. This is a great neighborhood restaurant.
