    This place was more than amazing, I celebrated my friends birthday and it was perfect from the food to the service. I ordered the crab claws & cajun pasta and it was a 10/10. The restaurant had a really nice ambiance and aesthetically pleasing as a great place to take cute pictures. We also had a giant teddy bear at our table that was the highlight of my friend’s night.

    The only thing I would change about our dinner. When the chocolate gateau was served it served with a side plate for each of us. Unfortunately the plates were really warm. They must have come directly from the dishwasher to the table. Since the dessert is served with gelato, a warm plate seemed out of place. This small gaffe notwithstanding, the entire experience was outstanding. Our food was full of flavor, the room was full of life, and service was spot on.

    We eat here two to three times a year. Last night was probably the best food we’ve had in the last five years. The bottle of Moet was great. Opening the evening was a plate of four pastries (gougyure?) filled with salmon mousse and caviar. We followed with a Farmer’s Green Salad. My wife had catch of the day. Me? Fried quail. There was not a hiccup with any of these entrees - all were excellent. The desserts - chocolate mousse and an apple tart with ice cream The chef’s gift to the table was a pumpkin soup with coconut milk. I wished that they would make this a regular menu item. One slight flaw. The recipe for the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup seems to have changed. All in all - an excellent evening. IF. If I could change one thing? Hire a carpenter. Put in a vestibule ahead of the outside entry door. it was cold outside last night, and the drafts that passed through the restaurant are quite cold. All in all - the $$ were well spent.
