    The steaks and foie gras were very good but the French onion soup was watery and lacked flavour as did the salad. The wait staff was great but the venue didn’t match the quality of the service or the price. It could do with some white table clothes and things like more elegant drapes.

    Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The staff was great…only two servers, and they were very good at their jobs. Many of the cocktails, entrees and desserts involve flambéing, so one of the servers was almost always doing table side service of some kind. All of dishes we tried were tasty and presented beautifully. The Wellington’s were cooked to our liking. If you want a show..order the Excommunicado cocktail. It involves fire, smoke and a shot gun.

    Wow! Our first time dining at this restaurant. Absolutely enjoyed the entire evening. The Poulet Suprême was incredible, tender, juicy chicken, yet perfectly crispy. My friend had the Flambê Steak Diane, served with flambêed brandy, this is a beautiful table side presentation. We were wowed by excellent service, delicious food, and a welcoming ambiance. Looking forward to returning soon, and often! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Our experience here was amazing! We did the 5 course experience with wine pairings for each course and were extremely impressed. The food was extremely well seasoned, and the wine chosen for each course paired perfectly. Service was also incredible. The staff are all so polite, and even the chef came out to talk to the guests.
