If you would like to dine within the walls of an old Inn in France, you will like this restaurant. The venue is small, as is the menu, but the food and service are terrific. I had Steak with fries, and it was tasty and cooked perfectly. Our appetizer cheese dish, as was the light Creme Brulee we ordered for dessert, was excellent. Two of us had martinis, which were well-made to meet our requests. The wine-by-the-glass selection is small, but the wines on the list are all terrific. Today's standards do not overprice the restaurant.

Unpretentious with casual ambiance. Server was fantastic, exuded upbeat & engaging energy throughout our dining experience. I never felt rushed. My reservation changed from 2, 4,5 back to 2 - the host was unbothered each time & more than accommodating to update the number of guests ( a portion of the party had a fender bender while en route). The smoked salmon tartine deconstructed was excellent - the salmon was delicious & buttery! French onion soup stock was rich and comforting. The blood orange spritzers with a sprig of rosemary was served in a healthy glass & complimented my afternoon break from reality!
