The food choices make it hard to decide what to order! The tuna and the turkey sandwiches were piled high and tasty. The Cobb salad was super fresh and abundant. Brenda our server was attentive and took good care of us. We'll be back to try different dishes next time!

Coquille St Jacques, beef Bourgogne, and duck Boudin cassoulet are dynamite. Crème brûlée prepared perfectly—good crack. Well attended too and no rush dining. French 75 cocktail was perfect! Only suggestion would be a scotch whiskey for the older crowd like a Johnnie Walker red. Not everyone likes a bourbon Manhattan.

We recently visited this restaurant and had an outstanding meal. We tried the lamb shank and cabbage-wrapped Dolma, and both dishes were exceptional. The lamb shank, in particular, was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—it melted in the mouth. The service was equally impressive—friendly, and attentive. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and we can’t wait to come back!
