    Had only heard good things about this place and they are all true. Fantastic evening in an intimate, atmospheric environment. Not sure there is anything quite like this place in the city. Food was top notch and the service was on point. Can't wait to come back.

    We had a really great evening here. It feels a little like a family run French bistro; everything beautifully served and imaginatively cooked. And they play vinyl records! Recommended.
