It is a great place to meet friends. My husband and I almost always order the sole, which is soooo good. Our friends were happy with the salmon and the steak frites. The service is attentive. It is quite noisy which is an issue with us older folks.

All of the dishes were different from what I would cook at home. I like to eat at restaurants foods that I don't make myself, so that was a very good experience. A few dishes were a little too salty for my taste. Overall, it was an excellent evening.

We were seated on time. Our server failed to materialize for about 7 minutes so we finally asked a bus person who our server was. A very confused server appeared a few minutes later to take our order. The food arrived 55 minutes after we were seated. The server failed to ever come to see how we were doing. Finally, having asked for the checkup, there was a line item that wasn’t ours. Our server was notified and came back several minutes later with a new, corrected check with zero apologies. Several other diners were noticed trying to track down their food or servers to pay. Our experience was awful.
