    It was a busy night as it usually is, but the food makes up for any downsides. Tables are crowded. Our waitress was a little strident in serving us at first, insisting we received the cocktails we ordered, but we all heard our guest ask for his martini on the rocks. She did exchange it but not without a little attitude. I have some mobility issues so getting in out of the close quarters is at times difficult. Everyone enjoyed their food however, no room for dessert. Overall very good.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants for lunch. We decided to have dinner since it was a beautiful evening and we enjoy the ambiance and service. The whitefish and schnitzel were both dry, overcooked, with very little sauce. Poor value. Definitely out of character. We are, however, planning to go back for lunch this week.

    what a lovely surprise I’d never been before but it was just as charming as you’d like. Juan was an excellent server, the food was good, and the atmosphere felt very French. I look forward to trying lunch soon
