Everything was great. It’s expensive but so worth it. Split a delicious salad with bruleed goat cheese and pears as well as steak frites which was made with a strip steak. 10 out of 10 on everything.

Atmosphere is great. Food is wonderful so were drinks. Service needs work. We were seated, restaurant was almost empty for Saturday 10:45 brunch, and it was like we were forgotten. Someone came to pour water and said specifically they were not taking our order. Over 30 minutes went by. We asked for more water Nd if we could place a bar and app order. Another 20 minutes before seeing anyone. When our app and drinks arrived, and I guess we were assigned a server, service got much better.

Wonderful spot for a romantic birthday dinner. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and was attentive and kind. Every dish that we ordered was flavorful and filling. The portions are rather large so next time we will share more of our meal.
