We came in search of a crepe for breakfast at about 10:00 am and found a wonderful selection. The waitstaff are very helpful and welcoming even though we are MUCH older than their usual clientele of hip youngsters who straggled in. The free parking lot up behind the restaurant was very welcome. With tip we spent $57.47 for the two of us. We will return.

Filet mignon is always perfect, fries and creamed spinach w a wedge salad to start is a tasty go to. Finish it w coffee and bread pudding. There’s about a hundred combos I love. Lobster thermidor and sand dabs crush as a main course as well.

Chef Kursten stepped away from his busy kitchen to come greet our table, which was a nice touch. Carson our waiter was super funny and engaging in our conversation. Can’t wait to come back.

Magnificent service. Some of the best. The Yule log—sublime! The pigs in a blanket—imagine what that might be like with a master pastry chef! Shrimp cocktail—how often is it merely passable? Here it is of a uniformly exquisite tenderness. I want to say again, the SERVICE. This place is an industry standard but is generally underrated. Visit it again.

We go here for my wife's birthday which is on Christmas Eve. Not many places are open then and we really like the food and hospitality of AOC. Even though they don't take requests, they had a nice table for us indoors. It made it extra special to have carolers as well.
