    Exceptional combination of fantastic food, service, and ambiance. A unique venue and being surrounded by a Julia Morgan designed building is a huge part of the experience. If you want a quiet place to enjoy a meal without restless noisy kids this is it.

    we enjoyed a Parisean experience. My partner enjoyed a martini as requested ice cold with olives on the side while enjoyed the first of 2 glasses of white burgundy. For appetitizers, we enjoyed one each cups of onion soup and lobster bisque, followed by escargot and the Reve salad. Then the entree a special of the night Tartiflette a hearty combination of scallop potatoes, cheese, onions, and bacon in several layers half of which we were happy to take home. It was extraordinary along with our server Arlene. Looking forward to returning here for more creations.
