Amazing flavor in meat and everything else. So well considered and the soup part of the French onion soup had a great depth of flavor. The steak was well seasoned the pepper sauce was gorgeous and the mash potato’s were so tasty, even the veg was not overcooked all in a superior meal. Great wine list. Sad the place was not packed it should be every night.

We were a table of 4 celebrating one of our friend’s birthday. The food was great with excellent services. The server accommodated us with sharing of desserts, lit a birthday candle for the macaroons. She was polite, courteous and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful week day birthday lunch!😀

Great and Memorable Diner. The chef and his team provide a wonderful evening with inventive, innovative and very enjoyable tasting menu. I would definetly recommand the chef counter where you can watch the team work with great care. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is low key but upscale, very quiet but also have a fun vibe following the chef stories of his memories. Great Musical playlist on top of it!
