The ambiance is so welcoming and romantic. Wally really took care of us and curated a special dinning experience. Whether you sit at a table or at the bar you’re definitely in for an amazing treat here at B&B.

Food was so good! Ambiance was perfect. Much more boujie than you typically find up north which was fun for a girls night. The filet didn’t blow me away but the potatoes and banana foster and various other sides/starters we got were deliciouuuuus!

Excellent, attentive service; nice ambience- great for a birthday or anniversary celebration. The rib eye was delicious! The mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese were decadent. And I ordered a cocktail that had pineapple and a smoky kick- it was really good.

The service was excellent! Brick chicken “au jus” was very fatty chicken thighs with skin. Very little meat. Lots of fat. “Au jus” was a very fatty and salty sauce. Portions were huge. Grilled asparagus was stringy and chewy. Charred broccolini was delicious! We shared a dessert (3 people). An obscenely enormous piece of cake arrived at our table. Enough for 6 people. My husband had steak and was sick all night. Do not recommend.

We had a lovely dinner here, and will definitely be back! It’s a really nicely decorated space. The service was excellent, everyone was pleasant, helpful, and professional. Our server Rachael was amazing, did a wonderful job describing the menu options and made the experience so much better. Food was so delicious, we had the octopus, focaccia, sea bass, filet, and a fun birthday dessert. Drinks were perfect. Overall a wonderful dining experience.
