The food was delicious and the chef/owner is so nice and fun. He spent with every table and was very informative about wine. We will definitely return and recommend to friends, a true neighborhood gem.

Wonderful cuisine and excellent service. I felt like I was in a France. We enjoyed the specialty cocktails, the to-die-for bread. We had the grand menu: branzino and filet mignon, after onion soup and mesclun salad. I highly recommend this restaurant.
