IT is a wonderful night to celebrate birthday with my friend. Lena recommend us for a wine that it is very affordable. We have 3 bottles. The escargot is good. Lena also help us to make something that is not on the menu that night. Very happy dinner.

Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you’re likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget🤪
