We always love the food and service at Blue Ribbon. Last night we had the hamachi collar and the seared red snapper -- both absolutely outstanding! We also enjoyed the bean sprouts and watercress salad (warm!!), a favorite, and two of our favorite rolls -- the crunchy tuna and the salmon ikura roll. Terrific service from Nadia, delicious mango sorbet for dessert, and a lovely wine that went great with the meal -- the Rhone. While certain areas in the restaurant can be very noisy, we were in a booth just outside the main dining room and it was perfect. Fantastic meal all around.

I recently dined at La Grande Boucherie where I had the steak frites, and it was a standout experience. The steak was perfectly cooked to my liking—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Paired with a delicious béarnaise sauce, the dish was simple yet satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Overall, a solid choice for anyone craving a classic, well-executed meal.

The smith never fails. They just never do. Amazing service, amazing food, the coursing was expertly executed, and they treated our party so well. This is why we continue and always will come back to the Smith

Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

Love me some Bad Roman. Our service was terrific. My cousin and I hadn’t seen each other in years/ our server made no attempt to hurry us along. He was attentive but not intrusive. Food is delicious- creative. Nice wine selection.
