    I order the veal and had to send it back as it was very tough, the server was very responsive and reordered a different meal which was delicious. Will definately dine with you again as the service was wonderful.

    We had a fantastic evening, and the food was absolutely delicious. A heartfelt thanks to Danica and Nick for speaking with us in French, our mother tongue—it truly made the experience even more special!

    We went for the Valentine's Day 3 course and it was divine. Good wine, got a nice booth, and it was just a delightful evening after that. The food was plentiful, the wine was good quality and purchasable by the bottle, the service was exquisite and the orders came out in a timely manner. Will definitely be back.
