    I am vegan and the server had no problem making sure my meal was dairy-free and meat-free. She even told me there was fish broth in the Miso Soup, which I didn’t order due to her honesty. I think the restaurant should include the fish broth on the list of ingredients on the menu. Every ingredient should be listed when it comes to meat, diary or any spice with heat (cayenne, chili, etc.). Good food, good service. I have never had a bad meal here.

We have some wings, popcorn shrimp, with some extra dirty sauce, ( no to spicy for my taste ) but delicious. Tuna tartare and the Dirty fry chicken on point to enjoy it the southern taste. Kudos to Trish for take care of us and make our night unforgettable. Until next time! Thank you for the meal.

    Had a fantastic meal. Our server Moussine was incredibly knowledgeable, especially about their fantastic wine list, and was attentive without being obtrusive. The food was stellar, especially the steak frites, the peppercorn sauce, the vinaigrette on the house salad, and the profiteroles. If I had to pick a nit, it would be the aspic atop the foie gras mousse…it was somehow both too bland and too tough. The mousse itself was delicious…but we ended up leaving most of the rubbery aspic on the plate. All in all, however, a phenomenal meal, and we will definitely be returning!
