    A nice bar restaurant that features French classics with an American twist. Both of our mains were quite good but not what you would get in France. The wine list was good and reasonable. The service was excellent.

    The waitstaff was very helpful and accommodating to our need of having to leave by a certain time for the theater. Food was delicious. I hadn't been there in several years but it was a great experience, especially since we were celebrating a birthday.

    Delicious onion soup. The pare was a little disappointing, not as flavorful as it could have been but pistachios were tasty.

    Food was great. Service was great. They say a cocktail is $12 then add a $3 service charge and $2 for house brand alcohol. That is a pointlessly annoying game. Just be straight and say the price is $17.

    Maybe a waiter called out sick, but the service was incredibly slow. Other tables had to call out loudly to get the waiters attention. Food was just okay.

    No hostess when we arrived. We’re seated within 9 inches from tables on either side. Service was extremely slow and they were also extremely short staffed. Never came back for a drink refill and waited a long time to order and also to get our check

    The food was delicious. The appetizer was diverse, the beet salad was great. The winter squash cream soup my guest had was also good. The crab sandwich with the side salad was really tasty. The dessert was wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    They seemed understaffed. The waiter was friendly but was getting drinks, food, seating people, and ringing up the bill. We had to ask several times before getting refills. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.
