    Enjoyable atmosphere unfortunately the food was heavily salted which overshadowed the experience.

    The server was inattentive. The drinks didn’t come till mid way through the meal. And the appetizer came after we were done with the meal. It was an unfortunate experience. I wouldn’t want this to reflect poorly on the restaurant, perhaps the server was overwhelmed that night.

    Thank you for the nice card and the gift for our anniversary! Wine selection, food, and service were all wonderful. Especially, the delicious duck confit was something that we will not forget.

    Wonderful service and great food. We enjoyed the chickpea croquettes, French onion soup, and short rib the most.

    Wonderful food; not showy, but we'll thought out and beautifully executed. And QUIET! The dining room has sound absorbing panels on the walls, and the background music is really background.
