Signature dishes are "Parisian" specialties such as Steak au Poivre, coq au vin and seafood towers. The couple also serves "American" fare with a French twist like the bistro burger and other amazing treats like mussels and fries.Chef Aless was featured on Food Networks Chopped!! Google the "snails episode" The restaurant vibe and decor is a replica of both Parisian and NYC French brasseries. The hospitality is both inviting and professional.

We dined with Carlos in the upstairs dining room, celebrating a not-so-average accomplishment & he was outstanding, funny, attentive & knowledgable. He toasted us with champagne, gave great & honest recommendations & was just overall exceptional. Would absolutely come back to dine with him!

My fiancées meal was much better than mine—she got fried chicken with mozz and pink sauce and it was amazing! My drink was better than hers, which was the naughty nog. She got the Chestnuts on an open fire and it was 90% rum. Overall nice play with good vibes. They take Foodie Card for a 10% discount which is cool too
