    Ambiance is very nice. Our server, Marty, was excellent. Wines by the glass list is great. Food was mediocre—-or maybe they were just too busy in the kitchen. Would try again after the holidays.

    The restaurant side is lovely, the staff are attentive and the food is delicious. Definitely an upscale French vibe. The integration between the bar next door and the actual fine dining restaurant is ‘interesting’. The bar next door was busier than usual, and I sense that senior staff were at the end of their holiday crowd tether. The hostess was fine though and made sure we had our drinks. Just a busy night.

    Amazing food - the foie gras, scallops, and sea bass were exquisite. And the crème brûlée was the best I’ve ever had. The only downside was the noise level and how closely the tables were placed together.

    Our server, James, was brilliant and handled all 11 people, arriving at slightly different times, smoothly and effortlessly for each guest. I hope to have him on our next visit. The restaurant concierge, Mary, also was a joy to deal with and was helpful at every step. My food was good but would have preferred less stingy with garlic (especially on the escargot) and truffle oil. I remember those flavors being more pronounced before the chef change a year or so ago.

    The steak and frites was not what we expected. It was a cheap cut of steak and for the price it was not worth it.

    We were seated promptly and an older matronly lady came over to greet us. We ordered drinks and she disappeared for a while. It took about 15 minutes to get our drinks. I asked her if we could get some bread and she rudely said we don’t serve bread until you order your entrées?! we placed our orders and soon after we did get some bread. We received our appetizers about 15 minutes later. We did not receive our entrées for another 40 minutes. One lady came over and apologized but nothing was offered to us for the inconvenience. We sat down at 7 PM. We left at 9:35 PM for us two hours and 35 minutes was a little long for a small dinner . The food was very good, but the slow service and imply waitress made it 90 good experience. I have not been back to this restaurant in about five years and I probably will not be back for a long time.

    The food was delicious. However, the waiter was uncertain about how my entry selection was going to be prepared. He seemed a little confused when I asked how my pork chop would be prepared. I thought this unusual as I had selected my entree directly off the main menu and it wasn’t a special. We muchly appreciated the fact that our table was saved for us and we were 45 minutes late due to the fact that there was a Christmas parade that evening that we didn’t know was going on that evening.

    Our server was incredible! However, my mussels and mahi special entree were very dry, there wasn't even broth to dip in the crostini.
