Went here for our 17th wedding anniversary. Ambiance was nice. Food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly and answered all our questions. Our only drawback was the music playing. It was mental hard rock… not really what you’d expect to hear while eating a higher end meal.

Food and service were excellent The ambiance was terrible. I specified this was our anniversary and we were seated next to a table of 5 with 2 small children who were not happy to be there. Wr had a cramped space and could barely hear each other. So disappointed as there were better tables available. No consideration of it being our anniversary. So disappointed as we traveled out of our way to celebrate our anniversary here. Never again.

The food is well prepared and based on French classics. However, the preparation is more americanized with sometimes an odd addition that can seem a little out of place (scallops with sweet potato puree). Overall the food is good, the service is good, and the ambiance is okay. The layout makes very few tables great tables - almost every table has a view of the kitchen, bus station, or is on a busy aisle way. It's certainly not romantic nor relaxing. But, if good food is your aim, its a good place to go.

We were celebrating our anniversary. Our waiter Thomas was great. I had the filet, which was very good. My wife ordered the halibut which she felt was too fishy, and the side of couscous and spinach was bland. She sent it back. The staff were courteous and apologetic. She ordered a salad which she enjoyed. We would go back, but not order that fish meal.
