    The food was perfect, drinks were delicious and they have a great wine selection. Our server was very kind and attentive without being overly pushy.

    Excellent food and service. We asked for cozy seating. We were able to talk without noise being an issue, the light was over the food so we can see but not too bright and there was low light in the room. Overall a great experience, we will keep coming back.

    A true suburban GEM.... Service and food all top flight with attention to detail. No rush yet rather encouraged to enjoy the experience. Definite to return to the place.

    We had a wonderful experience. The food was great and the service was impeccable. Our server Toni was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the items on the menu and about the drinks. We are planning to return and bring other friends. Dr. Ana

    Do not eat here. My meal was good (coq au vin), but my husband's was abysmal. He had one of the steaks and that was all that he was served. A piece of meat on a plate. He said that it was 'chewy'. Apparently if you want anything to go with your steak, you have to order it, which was not explained to us. So he ordered a side of green beans and he got a heaping plate of green beans, really enough for a table of people. The salad I ordered was swimming in a vinegar-y dressing. We had to ask for bread and were given two small dinner rolls, but the butter that accompanying them was frozen so hard that it was difficult to cut into. The dessert (pot de creme) was good though. The wine prices were a joke. It was half price Tuesday, so we got an $84 cab for only $42, but it wasn't any better than Two Buck Chuck. And since it was our anniversary, we were served a champagne glass each with a mouthful of bubbly. Will not go there again.

    Wanted to try a new place for my husband’s birthday. Very friendly host greeted us at door and the desserts were good, we had the cookie sandwich and chocolate pot de crème. Where we sat the shelf behind us had visible dust and the floor was not cleaned. They open at 5:00 p.m. and our reservation was at 5:00 p.m. so it wasn’t like they had been open for hours. We had the NY strip and it was poor quality cut for $62, asparagus was over salted and potatoes were runny. It’s a cute place that needs a deep clean. We tried it, but won’t go back. Way too many better options in downtown Geneva.
