Fabulous meal. We enjoyed the French Bistro vibe and excellent food so much that we came back and brought friends. The duck confit egg rolls and smoked trout potato pancake were excellent, and we each enjoyed wonderful entrees, Salmon, Lobster Ravioli, Filet Mignon, and Lamb Loin. The service staff is attentive and anticipating. Even though we live on the west side we will be making the journey to come here often.
