   Although my wife and her friends have dined here as a group before, it was my first time visiting. We started off with the calamari appetizer, followed by Caesar salad, accompanied by bread and butter. For our main courses, we had the Alaskan Halibut and the Salmon, both of which were delicious. We topped off the meal with a Kit Kat dessert. It was an enjoyable experience, and we'll definitely be back!

   For the price, this was definitely overrated. The service was mid. Food was ok, nothing stellar, and maybe don't have the staff bring around the dessert cart 3x during the meal. It was just not the experience we expected for the price.

   I ordered the lambchops and had to return them twice. The cook obviously didn't know how to cook them. The first order was over cooked and were hard to cut. I ordered them to be cooked medium and I received well done. They took the order back and replaced them with lambchops that were cooked medium well not medium, and it seemed the cook was upset that he/she made them very salty. Seemed like they salted the chops two to three times the normal amount. At this point I told the manager that they were again not cooked to my satisfaction and returned them. At this point I didn't want to order anything else. The rest of our group had already finished their meals. The other three people in our group said that their meal was cooked fine just mine was terrible. Lucky for me we had ordered two appetizers because that was all I had to eat. To add insult to misery I ordered a decaf coffee and another person in our group ordered a regular coffee and they both were terrible. They tasted as if they had been sitting in the pot since the time they first brewed it. It smelled foul. I even had the waitress smell it and she agreed it did smell bad.

   Russell, our waiter, was the nicest human but also had great recommendations. Filet is 10/10. Lamb chops, very good. Drinks were amazing. They turned down the music a little for our larger table to hear each other. Vibes were lovely and highly recommend this spot.

   They didn’t serve an item on the menu I was going to order. The waitress said it was because the restaurant was no longer ‘French’! It also was VERY noisy. Finally, the fish I had to order because they weren’t ’French’ wasn’t cooked properly.

   our server was not personable or friendly. i think her name was Anna. she had somewhat of an attitude. did not like the fact that the check could not be broken down with what each diner owed individually. not fair to the diners that didn't order wine or full meals. made it very difficult on our guests. will not return unless that check policy changes.

   Great holiday dinner. Our waitress Noel was awesome. One of our drinks came and was not made properly, Noel went back and got it handled. Food was fabulous. Holiday decor perfect.
