My wife and I enjoyed the whole experience at the restaurant. You could tell the food and plating was prepared by classical French trained chefs, the staff was attentive but not hovering and our waiter did a great job describing each dish (you could tell he took pride in his job and the restaurant). We will be back to try the summer menu.

The greeting, food and service were excellent. I had the lobster grilled cheese and fries. The server was kind enough to give me a taste of a wine to help me decide between two. The decor and architecture are warm and upscale feeling. The interior is gorgeous.
