Place is beautiful! Service was very good. They have a very good bar at the entrance. We had a salad and a omelette not so soft how we like it.

The restaurant is very pretty. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The Maitre’d was willing to change our table, so my husband could hear better. This is definitely going to be a busy and good place to eat and drink ( did I mention the bar is beautiful). The food needs a little tweaking. For example, the onion soup comes with a literal cap of cheese but I am pretty sure most onion soup lovers are classic lovers. The escargots were delicious. I would certainly suggest everyone to give it a try
