    Absolutely loved going for restaurant week. The menu had the perfect selection of items to emulate their full menu. The waitress, whose name I didn’t catch, was fun and gave amazing recommendations. I will definitely be back.

    Experimented with it for Restaurant week and was surprisingly disappointed. Soup was cold, salmon was overbaked and everything just mediocre. Would not go back for their full price menu if they deliver similar standards to this limited menu. Service was great though and our waitress and the manager were very helpful and lovely.

    Me and my girlfriend had both of our birthdays at the restaurant, our server Alice was so nice and generous. Our food was taking a bit of some time so we got 2 free oyster which were delicious and enjoyable. My girlfriend has never had oysters and this changed her perspective on them. I had the beef short rib and she got the steak and frites. Absolutely delicious. Steak tartare and lobster soup. Mind blowing. We been here twice now and they always treat us like family.

    Great anniversary dinner with my wife. From when we walked in until we left, everything was phenomenal. The staff went the extra mile to ensure we had a great dining experience. It was the small touches that really made our evening so special.

    Ordered from menu for restaurant week. Was excellent. Reasonable choices. Also went off restaurant menu to order bread, which was fantastic, as well as the beet salad, which was very fresh and very flavorful. Enjoyable experience. Would  recommend without hesitation!

    We went for restaurant week and the Lobster bisque was very good with chunks of lobster The salmon and steak au poivre were good, but not outstanding. Profiteroles were excellent. Probably won’t return due to the seating. We had a high top right by the entrance to the kitchen. I will say that our service was excellent.
