Decorated for Christmas, it is especially beautiful, and the staff is routinely helpful and attentive. Last evening the food was a little disappointing. My lobster bisque was not as warm as I would have liked it, and my dinner partner's Mushroom and Jarlsberg en Croute was also nothing special, but as it was the only thing available for a non-fish eating vegetarian, that was the choice. But I'll be back.

Their steak frites are unreal—so delicious and just like the ones we've had in Paris. Everything on the menu is great, and the service is always spectacular. Perfect for date nights, special occasions, family dinners, etc.

The mood, lighting and vibe set the tone for our night. Our waiter Micah had the absolute gift of gab, personality and patience. Meal wise, their salmon tasted like it was shipped direct, paired nicely with a world of flavors. However the steak missed the mark. I battled with my medium rare cut as sometimes life gifts you a lemon. Thankfully their “Aviation” specialty spirit lifted me up from the chew trenches. All-in-all, what a cool space and experience.

Thanks.Aa had a good talk about Stuff. Give me a prescription or something OK but that’s OK. You can go right here and get on the drive if you want to I’m just gonna make sure.
