The escargot was a bit rubbery and did not have a lot of flavor. I had the branzino and that was not very impressive either. The lamb shank and foie gras were both amazing.

Thank you to OIBLTIBS for reminding me that it is the only place to celebrate a special evening with that special someone. Romantic setting, old school charm, fresh flowers, real tapers lit at your table, impeccable food and professional, kind, attentive yet unfussy service. The Beef Wellington, foie gras, escargot, and chocolate soufflé were all perfection. Literally every member of the staff offered us their congratulations. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner so very special.

Pretty pricy. When we went - didn’t know there was only a prix fixe menu, 3 courses. Generally the food was all good though - beef Wellington was a big portion. Nice ambience though. We went for a birthday but unfortunately they have a cake cutting fee of $15/pp - so don’t suggest you bring your own cake!! But with a 3 course prix fixe menu - your dessert was covered already I guess.

We were looking for a romantic beautiful restaurant and that this was, but we were very disappointed in the food. We did the 3 course tasting with wine paring. Bread - nice selection but - eh. The escargot were too large and the butter garlic had no flavor. Tuna appetizer was nice. My husband had the steak which was over salted. I had the Bronzino which was dry. Chocolate soufflé was very good but the crème brûlée tasted as if it were made the day before. The service staff was excellent however they were moving us along too quickly. Overall, we won’t go back for dinner but I would go to the bar for a glass of champagne on a special occasion.

Wonderful atmosphere, great service, delicious food. Able to talk without raising one's voice. As always, a great experience. A tad bit pricey -- dinner for two, with a very moderately priced bottle of wine and a generous tip, was $600.
