    I haven't been to Aquitaine for over 15 years, so it was such a joy to go there for lunch and reminisce about all the wonderful meals I had there when I lived in the South End. It was a treat to go on a weekday when it was quiet and I thoroughly enjoyed my Croque Madame with a glass of Sparkling Rose while mentally planning a future visit.

    Great birthday dinner! It was noisy but not so bad that we couldn't hear each other. They were out of several things we wanted, so that was disappointing. Overall the food was very good as was the service.

    The food was fresh, cooked perfectly, and absolutely delicious. I have never eaten a lamb burger, but now I am hooked. The atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. We also appreciated the 4% administration fee that goes to the kitchen team, which is so important.
