                                                    Love the oyster selection, shrimp appetizer and always the chocolate mousse!! The outdoor (ish) area was especially nice for us to bring along our kids for a “special” valentines dinner.

                                                    Wonderful Valentine’s Day prix fixe meal this evening. The service and food were perfect! It was a special evening because my husband proposed 50 years ago on Valentine’s Day. Our waitress Alicia made our evening very special. She even remembered when we were in last summer and that we had been getting ready to travel. It is so nice to have servers who remember us each time we dine there. We love this restaurant!

                                                    Lovely place with great staff. Found the prix fixe a bit pricey for what was provided.

                                                    Delicious onion soup & moules. Frites were meh. Staff very attentive, pleasant and professional. A word to the wise, ask the price of your glass of wine and make sure it is in line with your budget. Lemon tart has a brûléed top and is delicious, easily shared. Will return.

                                                    Vin Rouge is a favorite! Each time we come to the area, we make a reservation and are never disappointed. Delicious and fun!

                                                    Food was excellent as well as the service. The round tables for two were a bit too small for comfortable dining. If I am in the area again, I will request a square table.
