    Great seafood place to go to. Located in a very nice neighborhood. The oysters were fresh and succulently delicious. Great ambiance for casual dining. You can carry a normal conversation without fear of interfering with other tables. The mussels with fries were so delicious. The server was attentive and the busboys were always there to take care of water and other little details. Overall a great dining experience.

    The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a cozy dinner with a small group. The intimate tables and warm atmosphere made it an ideal setting for our party. The food was incredibly delicious and presented beautifully. We started with the mussels and fries, which were sweet and succulent, and the foie gras, which was simply divine. The rack of lamb and duck confit were also fantastic. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the service was exceptional. Our attentive server ensured that we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for our party, and we highly recommend this restaurant.

    A wonderful experience all round. The service was impeccable. The food delightful. A wonderful venue to treat my mother for Mother’s Day. The last time she was there was 80 years ago. She was 14 at the time and is now 94. Thank you to all your staff for making this a very special outing for both of us.
