    The food was not good. We tried several dishes and none were good. Pasta overcooked, mussels and escargot were served cold. The whole food was experience was bad.

    We were disappointed in the food & service. Neither were bad, per se, but neither were great. The short ribs were dry., The halibut dish lacked flavor. The service was disjointed but we still paid the obligatory 20% gratuity that was included on our bill.

    We had the most incredible meal on New Year’s Eve! I truly appreciate that it was right off the menu and not a fixed holiday menu. Service was wonderful and the lamb porterhouse was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Thank you for a memorable night !!

    Had a great time her new year’s eve with my husband. I had the brussel salad and sweet potato mash and he had the Coq de Vin. My brussel salad was super unique and combined interesting flavors which I was super impressed with. Very upscale atmosphere and people were dressed very formal for new year’s eve.

    Quaint restaurant with a very nice outside patio that was heated. The food was very good and the service (Tammy) was excellent. We dined with our dog on the patio on New Years Eve and had a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend trying this restaurant!

    Could have been so much better. With a greater focus on service and comfort, this place could be much better. The food is pretty good (not great, but not bad), but the service leaves a lot to be desired. We waited forever for our food and only saw our waiter a couple of times all night. Never apologized for the delay or told us what was going on. But if 30 minutes goes by after ordering, maybe check in with your customers.

    Terrible food. Sent back two dishes. Was there 2 1/2 hours. The servers were nice. It wasn’t their fault. The food was just really bad.
