Lovely dining experience the hostess greeted me and table was ready when I arrived. My two other guests were not there but I was still seated promptly. I love the vibe and atmosphere with the candle lighting really flattering for a romantic evening . Unfortunately, I didn’t have a date but was meeting my girl friend. I ordered a dirty martini while I waited at the table for my friends. It was excellent. We ordered the Brussels sprouts for appetizers, I ordered the steak frites, my friend ordered the fruits de mer, and we ordered the crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. The dessert should not be missed. Everything was excellent except my steak was bit a on the raw side and service could have been a bit more attentive like water refills which was only offered at end of service. I only ate half of my steak. Overall, atmosphere was beautiful and dining area was warm and cozy.

Have dined here many times. Food is always great. Have had the mussels before, great flavored sauce but the quality of the mussels themselves seemed off. Many shells empty and a good portion of them had a mushy texture. We love it here so we will be back. The dining room was very noisy, so it was difficult to have conversation without missing things said.

This restaurant is consistently amazing, and I know consistent as we dine there weekly, the food is simply amazing and the staff at the restaurant are the best people ever. Whether they are serving you specifically or not, they always make you feel welcome. The decor is adorable, classy but warm. I tend to go with the salmon which is superb, but if they have a fish special, I'm never disappointed. My fiancee' loves the french onion soup. The bread they serve gratis is the best. This is culinary perfection.
