    Loved the food—so delicious! The wine was beautiful, and the service was excellent. There were nine of us, and we had a private room with a lovely dining setup. The ambiance was amazing, and the entire experience was fantastic. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Great setting with beautiful French food! The chef has numerous great traditional French dishes…all cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed the French Onion Soup, followed by Beef Bour. And then upside down apple tart!

    Food was good. I had the confit duck leg with orange sauce, it was a bit salty and a bit overcooked. The beef cheeks was perfect. Crepe Suzette was really good especially the right amount of Grand Marnier in it, giving it at spectacular when light up. Overall a very good night.
