    Service was very slow, sat and looked at our martinis for 10 minutes while waiting for server to bring to our table, we ended up going to grab them ourselves. We requested ceiling fan to be put on since it was so hot and he didn't think he could do it as he had to seek mgr permission, it was forgotten and we had to remind waiter. Food presentation for the chicken was not as noted on the menu, greasy side potatoes and a small piece of chicken when it should have been a split chicken breast, was costly for that small chicken. This restuarant was awesome a year ago, maybe they changed management...

    Ambiance is very nice. Our server, Marty, was excellent. Wines by the glass list is great. Food was mediocre—-or maybe they were just too busy in the kitchen. Would try again after the holidays.

    The restaurant side is lovely, the staff are attentive and the food is delicious. Definitely an upscale French vibe. The integration between the bar next door and the actual fine dining restaurant is ‘interesting’. The bar next door was busier than usual, and I sense that senior staff were at the end of their holiday crowd tether. The hostess was fine though and made sure we had our drinks. Just a busy night.

    Amazing food - the foie gras, scallops, and sea bass were exquisite. And the crème brûlée was the best I’ve ever had. The only downside was the noise level and how closely the tables were placed together.

    Our server, James, was brilliant and handled all 11 people, arriving at slightly different times, smoothly and effortlessly for each guest. I hope to have him on our next visit. The restaurant concierge, Mary, also was a joy to deal with and was helpful at every step. My food was good but would have preferred less stingy with garlic (especially on the escargot) and truffle oil. I remember those flavors being more pronounced before the chef change a year or so ago.

    The steak and frites was not what we expected. It was a cheap cut of steak and for the price it was not worth it.

    A taste of France in old Savannah. The menu was reminiscent of France, but uniquely Southern American as well. The food was very good, the wine menu was decent and acceptably priced. We were a bit disappointed with the dessert menu choices. My one suggestion would be to improve the door signage. The door to the bar side is much more prominent than the restaurant side.

    We were seated promptly and an older matronly lady came over to greet us. We ordered drinks and she disappeared for a while. It took about 15 minutes to get our drinks. I asked her if we could get some bread and she rudely said we don’t serve bread until you order your entrées?! we placed our orders and soon after we did get some bread. We received our appetizers about 15 minutes later. We did not receive our entrées for another 40 minutes. One lady came over and apologized but nothing was offered to us for the inconvenience. We sat down at 7 PM. We left at 9:35 PM for us two hours and 35 minutes was a little long for a small dinner . The food was very good, but the slow service and imply waitress made it 90 good experience. I have not been back to this restaurant in about five years and I probably will not be back for a long time.
