Our food and service were incredible! We had the soft shell crab appetizer which was delicious! I had the salmon, excellent. Someone had the short ribs, great! And our third had an excellent meal as well, beef?! We ordered 3 different desserts and shared, they were all to die for! Gelato, cheesecake, and chocolate something great! Everything about our evening was excellent, the attention, flavors, and ambiance. Thank you for making our night great!
I have been told that the menu changed recently from a pretty international lineup to more of a pure french cuisine with intentions of making it even more so. My group had the escargot, which were buttery, full of garlic flavor and pretty good. A couple people in my group had never tried it and they didn't think it was terrible. I had a phenomenal pork chop with apples and cabbage. I was really happy with it. The green beans a la carte were okay. A little bland but had too much oil, if that makes sense. They have a new sommelier but we didn't utilize his skills.
Food was amazing. Server was super nice and personable. The only reason for the 4 stars is the smell of the place. I am not sure if they were pumping a fragrance into the place however it was overpowering. So much so in fact that it caused me to cough a couple times. If it weren't for the weird odor in the restaurant, I would have given it 5 stars. I would love to come back but not if this smell remains. Dinner was pricey, I think around $150. That included 1 drink, main course for each of us, and I got 1 desert.
Great Choice. Was very nice to meet happy to have chosen this place. Food was great! Service was great! You have to check it out.
First impression was unsatisfactory. Our waitress was not welcoming at all and she did not understand that all I wanted to do was switch the meat cuts. I was really looking forward to trying the escargot and unfortunately the snails were not well prepared. First bite was welcomed with grittiness. Yes the sauce was good and the truffle fries were tasty but I expected a lot better service than what I received. Overall, service and food was just okay.
