    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

    Had the surly bartender as our server. Kind of mocked my “celiac disease.” Brought over a hot glass of wine which I had to return for a cheaper glass of wine. Front of house seemed on point. Mussels and shrimp were generous. Do recommend but don’t sit in the bar area Sat-Sun.
