We had oysters --the only place where I eat oysters, they are fresh, from northern cold waters--, they were delicious, so was the octopus salad, and the creme brulee for dessert. Service was excellent tonight even though the place was packed. One of my favorite restaurant for sure.

Met a friend for lunch on a holiday. Reservation was easy to make, though venue did change seating from outside to inside (it was freezing outside, so no worries!). Food menu had plenty of variety and creative dishes, including a hot drinks menu. Entrees all looked intriguing and dessert menu would have sold itself if I hadn't been so full! Food was cooked perfectly (I had the Steak Frites with fall vegetable side) and I really enjoyed the range of texture and flavor. Seating was sufficiently apart so that the noise level was not bad at all. Prices were reasonable for the food provided. Lastly, service was informed, efficient and polite/friendly. Plenty of parking, even on a day where a lot of snow was still on the ground. Definitely no complaints and I will be back again! I recommend this restaurant (Montgomery County venue) without reservation!
