    Good service and nice space. Was disappointed that they were out of our first two options for entrees and a drink. What we eventually had was good. Manager came over and spoke to us and kindly apologized.

    Lobster risotto was excellent. Coq au vin was dry and overcooked. Oysters were fresh but on the small side.

    Food very good, but not quite up to the level of the very best restaurants in town. Will go back. Also, tables pretty close together.

    We made a mistake and showed up an hour early for our reservation on a busy night. The staff were incredibly professional and kind, sat us at the bar until our table was ready. The food was great. The service was great. The ambiance was lovely. We will return!

    Fantastic meal. Emily was a wise guide. I had escargots, salad, trout and apple tart. And a lovely martini.

    While walking in Gay street, I saw a woman eating a beautiful bowl of French onion soup, and knew that I needed some. I booked a reservation for the following evening. I was dining solo, but the staff was so attentive that I never felt alone. Nicole’s suggestions were absolutely perfect, as was the soup!

    Mussels were great but the french fries were cold and floppy. We got the deviled eggs to start and those were excellent!
