We were fortunate to be in the area during Restaurant Week. Thus, we had the chance to have an excellent three-course menu at a set price. The watermelon soup, salmon, and creme brulee were very good. My daughter had trout from the regular menu prepared gluten-free for her. She loved it. The hostess and server provided great customer service.

The maitre d was not pleasant! What a surprise. The waiter made up for her short comings. The waiter we had made every dish sound like the best thing you will ever eat. Bravo he was impressive just eating him made me more hungry. The food was very good and I would have given 5 stars if it was not because of my first impression. I recommend to stay away from the sangria, it was just not good. The steak was requested rare and it did come medium rare but very taste and tender. The mussels were cooked perfect. We had other dishes which were all good but the steak was very taste and we were surprised that the mussel were cooked correctly.

Enjoyed a very relaxed dinner with friends. Good menu selections and great wine list, although a bit higher on the markup. Our party ordered the snapper argenteuil, sweetbreads, trout l'ardenaise, and magret de canard (mine). No complaints and clean plates all around. Samples a little off everyone's plate and all was tasty. Wonderful desert menu. Special recognition to our server Steve who offered great suggestions.

This is a reliably good restaurant and great for business meals. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and is the best part of the restaurant. Our group all liked the choices they made, and desserts were particularly good.
