   The service was attentive. But originally they tried to seat us at the worst table in the house, back by the waiters station and hall to the bathroom. We ended up at a table next to the bar. I’ve been to this restaurant several times before, but this time seemed much louder. Maybe the acoustics are amplified in that back room, against the wall.  The salad was small, but delicious and beautifully presented. The trout Amandine was delicious, but overly bathed in butter. The string beans were cooked to perfection but over salted and the potato was bland, not seasoned at all. We were so weary of the noise, we left without dessert or anything else

   The Gruyere soufflé is fantastic. Nice touch on smoked old fashioned. Food and service are top notch, but then so are prices.

    I made a reservation for 8:30pm but got there at 7pm. I went straight to the hostess, an older woman with dark hair. I told her I arrived early and asked if we could sit earlier. She said several tables were getting ready, but sitting was no problem. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so it wasn’t a big deal. It was a Wednesday night. After waiting about 5 minutes, another couple with their daughter, who was white, came in, and they said the same thing about having a reservation later but wanted to sit earlier. When I saw they would take them immediately, I walked up to the hostess, who said she would sit us now. I have never felt like that at a restaurant, even in Palm Beach! However, our server, a Frenchman, was fantastic!!! The food was delicious, the best French food ever!!! We got the carpaccio as an appetizer, and I added the truffles on top. I also got the phenomenal Dover Sole with not one bone in it. My boyfriend and his son got the prime rib table-side.  I got the most popular martini, which had vodka and was terrific, called C'EST LA VIE Absolut Vanilla vodka ‖ Chinola Passion Fruit ‖ Pineapple & Lemon. It wasn't too sweet but refreshing. If server hadn't given me such excellent service, I would never return, but he changed my mood. The fun part the woman in the front keep checking I was enjoying myself. The bill with the tip was $500 so be ready to drop some money but it is worth it.
