The service and ambiance were impeccable and thoroughly enjoyable, but unfortunately the food was not up to par. Two of us ordered the waffle and chicken, but had to return our dishes as the chicken was burnt to a crisp. The waiter was kind and offered us a replacement free of charge. My husband was also disappointed with his hamburger as he expected a little more for his money. Although you may not get the value for your buck, the restaurant is beautiful and worth trying.

Our waiter was very helpful to suggest things on and off the Brunch menu. And the dessert which we split was just right.

If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! The menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and I've enjoyed everything I've ever tried during several trips. I only have good comments about the service, food, & ambience. I can’t wait to come back again!

Excellent food and service. One of the best French onion soups I’ve ever had - seriously. And the beef bourguignon was excellent too.

Nous avons été installés au bar où le service a été peu attentionné. Nourriture correcte, sans plus dont le rapport qualité/prix/service était vraiment trop élevé. Dommage.

We came in with high expectations, as the service and ambiance were truly excellent. The staff was attentive, and the setting was perfect for a nice evening out. Unfortunately, the food missed the mark. We ordered steak and frites, but our order came incorrect, and the steak was overcooked. It was disappointing, especially since everything else was so well done. It's a shame because I really wanted to love this place. I’m not sure I’d bring out-of-town guests here again, but perhaps I overestimated the food quality.
