    They have the best French onion soup and their vinaigrette is always perfectly balanced. We also shared the halibut which was cooked perfectly and very yummy. We come here often and always have a great meal.

    The service was very very slow. Food was tepid. And we had to ask someone to take our payment. As a result my visitors were late to an appointment. The onion soup is still good but would have been better hot.
