Absolutely perfect. The food, the wine, the ambience and the hospitality are nothing short of perfect. Love the leeks, salade verte, steak frites (best Bearnaise sauce of my life), their recent pork special (insane), and many more. Great spot for a date or dining with friends and family. Can’t wait to go back!
