    Everything we ordered was delicious. The meat quality and taste was excellent, done to the perfect temperature as we ordered. The appetizers came in a timely manner, we had escargot, tuna tartare and fried calamari, all delicious. The main course was very delayed even though others around us that ordered after us and got their meals. The waitress was our only glitch, between the late meal and the forgotten birthdays (we had 2 birthdays and even though she mentioned it at the beginning of the meal & again when we ordered, we were sent our desserts without any candles/fireworks) we feel she could have taken better care of her mistakes. W wall make them, no big deal, but she could have done something to make up for her shortcomings. Overall, delicious food and we will definitely be back!!!

    Great food and honestly I was surprised the bill was lower than I expected with food, alcohol, dessert, and coffee! Service was fantastic and very attentive. But it was very loud, but overall we enjoyed
