    Don’t miss the tuna toast or steak tartare. Chowder best I’ve ever had! Steak frites on point. Great food. Great drinks. Casual but nice enough for a date night with class.

    I was surprised that my faro salad was basically a pasta dish. It was served hot with the cheese melted in and wasn’t what I had expected from a “ bowl”. It was still good but I was looking for a bit less faro and more tomatoes and arugula…

    The menu was diverse and filled new foods we never enjoyed before. And the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Our waiter anticipated our every need. He was friendly and helpful and made us feel as though we were his only table. The meal was expensive but it was fine dining. One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in. And a great choice if you are non dairy.
