This culinary gem that left me utterly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The duck, cooked to absolute perfection and wine selection was equally remarkable. The cheese board was delightful too! If you’re seeking a spot where great food, exceptional wine, and warm hospitality converge, look no further. I’ll definitely be returning—and recommending it to everyone I know. Thank you Michelle and Eric, and our lovely French waitress (sorry I forget her name).
