We've had great experiences here- not sure what happened. The restaurant was empty, the meals were not cooked and had to go back, the water glasses went unfilled, they ran out of menu items. Not going back - even though I love the great big zinc bar.

Delicious bistro fare, not outrageously priced. Red snapper with capers and olives was cooked perfectly. Grilled octopus appetizer portion was generous and tasty. The wine list is average but they will let you taste before you decide. Cozy interior could use some upgrades but overall a pleasant night out. Great to go with a small group.

We've been to the Restaurant many times service is always good. The Lobster with avocado appetizer was fabulous followed by the Coq Au Vin special was exceptionally special. The one thing I think should be worked on is the wine list no familiar names makes choices hard. Really good evening 😘

We ate appetizer, starters, main dish and desert in 35 minutes. No time to relax! The waiter wanted to finish as soon as possible his job. While we were finishing our deserts, we saw some waiters crossing the room holding two plates and ate at the bar... We didn't feel welcome in this restaurant.

We had been there before, and the food used to be better. The salad was woefully lacking in the variety of items it used to feature, and everything was only ok. The server was abrupt with me, but brightened when my young companion arrived.

We were four for dinner. They were out of escargot. My friend asked for medium rare lamb. She received well done. Several of the wines were out of stock. We were seated at a too tiny table for four people and we stared at a larger empty table across the way all night. One of us knocked over a glass of water because there was not enough space. We had a reservation and should have been seated at a larger table. We won't be back.
