    We enjoyed an early Saturday evening dinner. The oysters were delicious, the scallops and kingfish starters yummy. The steak/frites was done medium rare with skinny crisps fries just as they should be. All paired with wines that went wonderfully with the food (albeit they are pricey $$$).

    We had an excellent evening at this restaurant. The layout, featuring smaller, more intimate rooms, greatly enhances noise management. The room we dined in accommodated 6-7 tables, providing a comfortable atmosphere where conversations could be held at a normal volume. It’s an ideal venue for those who prefer a quieter, less crowded setting. The service was outstanding. They were attentive without being intrusive. Every detail was handled proactively, ensuring we never had to ask for anything. We were scouting venues for a wedding dinner, and this establishment is currently our top choice, provided the guest list aligns with the room capacities available for private rental. We are eager to return and explore this option further.
