We had a nice corner table a little closed off from other diners which made the noise level better for our party of 7 to converse. Our waiter Scott was fabulous and was on too of everything all evening. I had the chicken marsala which was fantastic! My sister really liked her choice as well, which was the chicken piccata. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was a great evening.

Fabulous meal. We enjoyed the French Bistro vibe and excellent food so much that we came back and brought friends. The duck confit egg rolls and smoked trout potato pancake were excellent, and we each enjoyed wonderful entrees, Salmon, Lobster Ravioli, Filet Mignon, and Lamb Loin. The service staff is attentive and anticipating. Even though we live on the west side we will be making the journey to come here often.
