The service was very very slow. Food was tepid. And we had to ask someone to take our payment. As a result my visitors were late to an appointment. The onion soup is still good but would have been better hot.

The French onion soup is the best I have ever tasted. The same with their Bloody Mary. They make a delicious, authentic mix at the hotel/restaurant. The quiches were delicious, and the side salad was ample, and the dressing perfect! The ambience is cozy and delightful.
