    This is a great lunch spot. Delectable Spinachoke Dip preceded well crafted and delicious cheesy sandwiches- cheesesteak, Brie and prosciutto, and chicken. Rosemary chips were crisp and nicely seasoned. You can’t beat the chocolate mousse. The staff are welcoming, attentive and efficient. It’s a neighborhood favorite.

    Saw a review and trekked to Alexandria for lunch. Well worth it, the Raclette Fest special was fabulous, the service was excellent, and the attached cheese shop has a wonderful assortment of French cheeses, including Raclette!

    Our server was outstanding, very friendly and knowledgeable. The raclette fest was amazing. Scraped table side with a second scraping if desired (but of course). Just so delicious. Afterwards enjoyed the 10% discount in the store grabbing some cheese and wine for later in the week. All in all will be back again.

    We went for the raclette dinner and were very disappointed. It was nothing like the raclette we’ve had at Swiss restaurants. By the time it hit the plate it was cold and just a big glob of cold cheese over potatoes….very disappointing. Will go back but certainly NOT for the raclette.

    Our bartender/server was super sweet and knowledgeable about the food and drink. Loved the weird art on the walls. The music wasn’t my cup of tea, but good vibe over all

    Fromage, fromage! Baked Brie was wonderful as was the spectacular bowl of French onion soup. We both had the lobster Mac and cheese which did not disappoint, delightfully presented in the lobster tail shell. There are numerous more items on the menu we look forward to savoring on forthcoming visits.

    Overall this place was good but it wouldn’t be somewhere I recommend for dinner. We went for restaurant week. The French onion soup was ok, not enough sherry in my opinion. I got the lobster Mac and cheese for my main and it was not smooth/creamy at all. Really underwhelming. The cheesecake was fantastic.
