    Outstanding French cuisine at a price commensurate with the quality and portion size of the food. Our reservation allowed us to be seated immediately, the service was superb (we have a favorite waiter), the meal was unhurried and delightful. This is a first class restaurant. Do not expect to be rushed while dining nor for the cost of excellence to be cheap. A great place for a special evening.

    This is a place rich with history. The restaurant decorates with a wonderful feeling of warmth and charm. Came to listen to the Thursday music fare and it was fabulous. Were able to finish our diner seated outside (on a particularly warm November evening) and listen to the beautiful strains of Gypsy Rumba.

    We ate outside and while it was humid it wasn’t terrible as there were fans. There was live music and we could hear it but couldn’t make out the songs. Nautical gnocchi was delicious for me. My husband had the dirty chicken. Portion size was good and we each could have finished our meals but saved some for lunch tomorrow.
