    Oh it was the most wonderful evening! The waiter was on top of things the food was so so good (my date was French and he loved it!). He had escargot and the Salmon. I had the endive salad and the boullibase. We had a bottle of Rose the bread basket and Creme brulee for dessert. Wonderful. Highly recommend. Make reservations and get there early as they ran out of one of the specials we wanted by 8pm. We will be back!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I must say it was quite an experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a delightful hostess at the entrance, setting a warm and welcoming tone for the evening. The service throughout the meal was impeccable, with the staff being attentive and accommodating. Though things slowed down a little towards the end, it didn't detract from the overall experience. The food was nothing short of delicious—each dish was beautifully presented and had refined flavors that showed the chef's skill and care. To top it all off, the view from the restaurant was simply stunning. Sitting among the towering skyscrapers, it created a perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. Highly recommend!
