    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!

    Food and wine was delicious and the atmosphere lively and fun. However, the table was so tight that waiters were constantly bumping the backs of our guests and we were wedged in a tiny booth. No coat closet made our tiny seating plus winter gear less than comfortable. I still recommend.

    It’s a nice restaurant. Though a bit impractical from a flow perspective (narrow space, too many tables), it’s a beautiful and charming space. The food was good, not great. Service was slow - we were never served our cocktails. I’ll go back, just with lowered expectations.

    Menu was changed to price fixed, 95$ per person, with 3 courses, 3 options per course, drinks extra, after I had booked it for Valentine's Day. It was too late at that point to get reservations elsewhere. However, we went and had a wonderful meal, good service and enjoyed the decor. The halibut and tenderloin were perfect, artichoke soup and deserts very enjoyable. The entire experience did not quite live up to the cost.
