The place and service is great. However, the food is lacking. The charcuterie board barely had any charcuterie. The order of frites was also skimpy. I had the branzino - it was fresh but the “Thai” broth was bland. My husband had the filet au poivre and it was delicious, especially the au poivre sauce - very authentic. Lovely people but we won’t be returning.
