Waitstaff gave great advice. Menu has the classics standard French dishes we would expect. The dishes were well executed. Service was attentive but not rushed. We will go back.

The steak came out well done. The server never came to our table after we ordered. I don’t think I’d go back.

Usually our go to place. I guess valentine’s Day overwhelmed them a little. Slow service, they took both burgers off the menu (splitting the lamb burger is a tradition with us, that sucked) and the food was more meh than I’ve had before. Chicken both a little burned and a little undercooked: coq a vin lacking flavor.
