    We had the 3 course menu in the dining room and everything was incredible! There were several options to choose from for each course including seafood, meat and vegetarian options. Something for every taste. We also added one additional course which was a duck liver pate with the most delicious toasted bread and a tart fruit gelee. We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff acknowledged our celebration at every step. Every dish we choose was beautifully executed and absolutely delicious! This was our first visit and we will definitely be back!

    Lovely place for a quiet, classic French-inspired dinner. It was the perfect respite from newer restaurants that all seem to think that that insane volume enhances the dining experience. There is an extremely reasonably priced 3-course fixed price offer, which allows you to choose from several selections of starters, entrees and desserts. Special shout out to the bread pudding! Best one I've had in ages!!!
