    Charming atmosphere, excellent wait staff, well prepared food. We had a lovely evening from start to finish. All the food is made carefully with good ingredients and great combinations of flavors from the beet salad to the Brussels sprouts and ice berg wedge to the steak frites. And the desserts were excellent. Thank you!

    I went for lunch with my kids and they sat us at the darkest and emptiest place in the restaurant, even though there were free tables on the nice, well illuminated part of it. I needed my flashlight to read the menu in the middle of the day. Host said there were no other free tables, when they were clearly lying. The must not like kids. Be warned
