Wonderful expense from the moment we arrived. We chose to eat in the bar area. There was a roaring fire that created a really nice atmosphere. Kat, the bartender, was very impressive. She was informative about the menu, as well as the history of the restaurant. She even brought me a printed sheet about the restaurant for me to keep! Her martinis are delicious, too! My husband had the steak frites and was very happy with it. After reading all the reviews, I had to try the Beef Wellingtin. It did not disappoint! The bar area is small, so it does tend to get a little noise when it's busy - so if you're looking for a quiet evening, stick to a table.

Classic ambiance. Food alright, but over-priced. Hadn’t visited in a few years. Went for my wife’s birthday. Service was fine. Glad we went in January, & didn’t fight crowds as we would’ve in summer. OK, but won’t rush back.
