    We haven’t been to House 406 in a long while, but the food and service were as good as we remembered. My husband especially enjoyed the duck special, and the shrimp and pear/burrata appetizers were outstanding as well. It was a quiet night there, which we were grateful for after a busy holiday.

    Ate here with friends and family. It’s new at this location and not very busy yet. My husband and I really enjoyed the food in northern Greece and Anatolia when we visited there last spring. This is described as central Asian food on their website and the meat stews on the menu were similar to dishes we had in those regions. There were a lot of menu choices including stroganoff and perogies. Large tables are good for groups. I would definitely go back. We went to a movie after and the location is convenient with lots of parking nearby.

    If you're looking for a great dining experience with top-notch service, this place might still be worth considering, just don’t expect the food to match the price tag. This is our second time eating from here, while the service was exceptional — the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome — the food didn’t quite live up to the high prices.

    Perfect spot for a quiet Tuesday night birthday meal, trying some heretofore unsampled French cuisine in a comfortable and warm setting. Our server was conversant in all aspects of the menu and attentive to every detail, especially the water glasses and bread. I had a pre-dinner Jilly's Fashioned cocktail that really hit the spot, and the appetizers, beet salad, and entrees (bouillabaisse in my case) were winners.
