    For the price of food compared to what my date and I got we were underwhelmed. The ratatouille was done differently than either one of us had before, the French onion soup was average as well. The streak frites for two, we asked for it to be medium and it came out medium rare, and it came out cool not hot or even warm. Overall, I wasn’t the most pleased with my meal and my date and I’s stomachs weren’t feeling the best afterwards either. Probably won’t be back.

    My husband and I went for our twentieth anniversary and we truly enjoyed our evening. The deviled eggs, and French onion soup were our favorites.

    Service is inconsistent at this restaurant, which is difficult to believe considering it was a $150 meal for 2. Server did not greet us for awhile. Drinks took way too long. Server forgot bread service. Disappointing night.

    The food was very good. The restaurant was cold and when we pointed this out to staff we were told it’s because we’re seated by a window. The entire downstairs was cold. We wore our coats throughout dinner. Our table location for a party of 5 was also very cramped. Small tables
