    Food is delish! However, After meal we just continued chatting at the table, but the server keeps coming back and start taking our water cup as if he wanted us to get up and leave. We couldn’t relax and enjoy the company and just chat away bec server seems to wanted us leave! Rude in that sense

    The food was delicious and the presentation superb. My friend was given a complimentary chocolate mousse with a fireworks candle and a Happy Birthday song. Handicapped access is lacking, in particular with respect to parking and access to restrooms. I am temporarily on crutches and was able to work around it, but if someone in your party is very restricted, I suggest you call restaurant first and perhaps special arrangements can be made.

    Ate outside. Lots of heaters. So it is quiet outside. Always happy with the food and service. Back to having the French Onion Soup and new the Chimay and Braesola toast. Yummy

    Food was great. It’s loud inside so bring a jacket to sit outside if you’d prefer a quiet setting.

    Poor and rushed 'service'. Food was average at best (and yes, I regularly eat French cuisine). The establishment was so noisy I couldn't hear my own conversation, and the room so cramped I felt like I was in a doorway. (or was that my luck with table seating?) Frankly, I wasted $120 and the meal was utter rubbish. Can't win 'em all I guess.
