The restaurant was great. The food was outstanding: an order of popovers to start, a roasted duck breast for me, a baked salmon for my wife left us so full we couldn’t get to dessert. The parking was a challenge and it was pretty noisy but our server, Martina, was attentive and friendly so we were very happy with the whole experience and will definitely be back

Our first experience with Pots, our waiter Joe was great at explaining how everything works. The food was amazing. The broth base alone was delicious. Once we added our meats and vegetables, it took the flavor experience to a new level. Highly recommend. We will be back to eat here as often as we can.
