    Delicious food and we received a warm welcome but the service was understaffed and the restaurant was absolutely unbearably loud.

    Excellent French Cuisine here. For appetizers, the oysters and escargot were excellent. For the main dish, enjoyed the Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and veggies. The potato gratin was piping hot. The cocktails served here are fun and sweet. All in all, a great friendly neighborhood vibe here,

    Appetizers terrific: escargot, onion soup, mesclum salad, beet with goat cheese salad. We had a pan-fried salmon with a light beurre blanc and lentils branzino with capers but the cassoulet lacked flavor though the duck confit was excellent. Three glasses of sancerre were crisp and flavorful. No room for desert. Overall, terrific.
