    My husband and I went for our twentieth anniversary and we truly enjoyed our evening. The deviled eggs, and French onion soup were our favorites.

    Service is inconsistent at this restaurant, which is difficult to believe considering it was a $150 meal for 2. Server did not greet us for awhile. Drinks took way too long. Server forgot bread service. Disappointing night.

    The food was very good. The restaurant was cold and when we pointed this out to staff we were told it’s because we’re seated by a window. The entire downstairs was cold. We wore our coats throughout dinner. Our table location for a party of 5 was also very cramped. Small tables

    Excellent food but the restaurant is very crowded and loud resulting in not a very pleasant dining experience.

    Service is professional and friendly. We did a variety of sides but will go back to try the entrees. The French onion soup is filling so it’s best to share it. If you like garlic you’ll love the haricot vert. The Mac and cheese is delicious too. The sparkling water is made in house and is very different from anything I’ve ever had. Atmosphere is sophisticated and a bit loud if you are interested in having a conversation.
