This is my go-to place for special family events. Tonight, my wife and I dined there with our son, who is visiting from New York. As always, the food was great—authentic and delicious. We started with Baked Brie and Beets with Chevre (goat cheese). For our main courses, we enjoyed the traditional Coq au Vin, Duck Confit, and the special of the day, Red Snapper. We finished our meal with Moose au Chocolat and Passion Fruit Sorbet. Each dish was exquisite, but the Baked Brie was a delightful surprise—it was amazing. Our server, Mr. Nguyen, was very attentive, and the service was exceptional. I’m sure we will be back to this restaurant again soon.
