Always a lovely place, white table cloths, an old French dwelling feel. We were seated near a fireplace with a real wood burning fire. The food has always been good but on this occasion it was even better. Dover sole, a personal souffle. Good Spanish wine and excellent service to boot. Yes pricey but for our anniversary this was definitely the right thing.

It has a nice ambiance, intimate, and suitable for conversation. We went on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was half full. We ordered the Short ribs, steak frites, and hamburger. All of us enjoyed our meals. The meat was done well, and portion sizes were good. It is an older restaurant with a classic charm. Service was on point. We celebrated a birthday and ordered the 13-layer chocolate cake. It was a fun birthday treat, and it was delicious, not too sweet. There was plenty to take home afterwards. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and exceeded my expectations.
