    One of the best meals ever. We started with the foie gras and then the endive salad. Next was the deviled crab and the steak fries. Would order the same again. It’s a hard reservation to get but worth it.

    I had a great time enjoying delicious food and drinks. The overall aesthetic was lovely, and I would love to experience a live band or some jazz music to enhance the atmosphere. However, the bathrooms were disappointing—they were dirty and didn’t match the rest of the restaurant’s ambiance. A makeover would definitely improve the experience.

    I had the Oaxaca chicken and it was excellent. The chicken was tender and the accompanying beans and eggplant in the mole sauce was sublime. The mole was complex with a little bit of heat which I loved. I scraped the left over mole up with tortilla chips. The service was in point. They are friendly and efficient, but never make you feel rushed.
