My party all agreed it was one of our best meals. Everything just came out perfect. Salmon, tenderloin, and risotto entrees were fabulous. The patio/garden decorated for Christmas was festive. We had John as our server and he was so lovely, bright, and enthusiastic. This was my first time but I strongly recommend and will return myself!

Christmas Eve was extremely busy. There were more children than a usual night, making it more noisy than anticipated. I reserved a table. But there were none available when I arrived for my reservation. I was offered to sit at the bar because they didn't know when a table would be available. I understand that it was a bust night, everyone and everything was great, except I was just put to the side as a single person at the bar. I was there for 2 hours due to the fact that the staff was more worried about the larger tables. That was my only complaint. It was my birthday, so I was a little letdown. Otherwise it was a fantastic restaurant. The food was the best French food I've had since I was in France.
