    The food is always great. This time they had a special hazelnut pastry that was unbelievably good. When we arrived, the staff who weren’t assigned to our table came over to welcome us back. You don’t see that in many establishments. That’s why we keep coming here.

    Great experience. An absolutely professional run restaurant everything from food to service was on point all night. You can tell they have been at this a long time. Food was hot and tasted great, service was flawless. Never felt rushed or forced and made it out with plenty of time to spare to make our show. Great will repeat

    We went for an early dinner at 4:15 and by the time we left the entire restaurant was full. The prix fixe menu was extensive and every course was delicious. My daughter had the escargot and said it was just as good as when she had it in Paris. The beef bourguignon was absolutely rich, flavorful and tender. We all enjoyed a sampling of my other daughter’s steak au poivre which was amply sauced and perfectly cooked. Desserts were all standouts- crème brûlée being our top pick, the chocolate mousse was rich and the chocolate lava cake was nicely balanced with berries in syrup. A fantastic meal that we all enjoyed.
