    This is our new favorite restaurant in town. Delicious drinks (martini, their version of a “sidecar” and mocktails), appetizers, and entrees (duck, steak). We have had multiple desserts as well that were excellent! Exceptional service each time we have been there. Highly recommend.

    The food was very good, as was the service. The atmosphere was charming, although the temperature in the balcony seating area was unpleasantly warm. Our waitperson turned the hear down, but still it remained rather warm up there (in early January).

    Atmosphere was nice and service was just ok. We went for lunch and the food was very bland. We ordered the steak tartare, which was very disappointing and lacked flavor. At first we thought we got the wrong order. The crepe and duck on the salad also lacked flavor. For the price point, we were expecting much better.

    Our group of 4 had great meals. The quiche was the best I have had. We were there for News Years Day Brunch. We were seated upstairs which was quiet but very warm. A ceiling fan would be helpful. It will be hot in the summer. Our initial service was prompt but the server had tables up and down so his attention flagged as he tried to help everyone. We are eager to return and sit outside on the extensive sidewalk dining area.

    The most amazing New Years Eve meal I’ve ever had. Each item in the four course meal was outstanding. The ambience was wonderful and the service was terrific. I am definitely make plans for a repeat next New Years.
