    I liked a lot for the restaurant. Their customer service was excellent with welcoming smiles and professional manners. A young man and young lady were pleasant. Foods were very delicious and generous portions. Especially onion gratin soup and escargot were excellent ❣️ for appetizers. And main dishes and deserts too 😋 Three of us went there for one’s birthday celebration. Anyway, we had very pleasant evening there.
