    We enjoyed the diverse and unique menu very much. We loved our cocktails. There we twists on some classic French cuisine dishes on the menu and there was a good use of seasonal vegetables. Portion sizes were nice to share or enjoy as an individual. We were a party of 5, so we shared quite a bit. Decor had some Art Deco influence and was comfortable. Suggestions would be to have a depth of music for ambiance, more of a surround sound. Also, seating seemed tighter than necessary. If you are only going to turn 30 guests in a night, space the tables out more. Staff were pleasant and professional, but did seem a bit stressed. 3 hours was longer than expected for the meal. We had 4 courses. Staff were very responsive to my communications and when I requested wine for the 2nd course instead of the 3rd, it was not an issue. Looking forward to returning on a date with my husband. We traveled 30 minutes to enjoy this experience. Loved the pâtes de friut at the end of the meal.
