Three delightfully decorated halls in the Empire style that dominated
the Napoleonic era give the restaurant the intimate character
that guests treasure. An exquisite cuisine, prepared with French savoir-faire
and showcasing the finest fresh regional products.

    Absolutely fantastic meal, partner had the filet mignon cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth. I had the jou de boeuf, night special and it was melt in your mouth, seasoned to perfection, came apart with the butter knife! Started with a split pea soup and beef tartare, both amazing! Definitely going back.

    Classic French restaurant with great service and nice ambiance. The food was mostly delicious and well prepared, except for the fish special (arctic char) which was so overdone as to be almost inedible. The staff graciously returned it and brought another which was properly done, but it tainted an otherwise wonderful meal.

    We hadn't been here in quite a few years. Back then they had all of this kind of like a crushed red velvet all over the place. Very Victorian. Food then was excellent as well too. We do love how they totally revamped the interior now I mean it's absolutely gorgeous. Perfect example of what I call White table service. Started with the shrimp and vanilla flavored scallops. Excellent. Richard had the Rabbit Confit in pastry, which was excellent. Richard had the Rack of Lamb for his mane which was very good but one of them was a little bit gristly. I had the filet of Beef Rossini, which had a nice port demiglace & a lobe FoieGras on the top. Just decadent.
