Ther restaurant is beautiful and our service was excellent. The guys loved there burgers. I was so disappointed by my quiche. The quiche was dry and tiny, the size of half dollar and as tall as a match box. Came home hungry. Probably will not return too many other places to try.

My husband and I came for my birthday. I truly cannot remember a time in recent years where a restaurant honestly went out if the way to make me feel so special. The food was the perfect compliment to such thoughtful service. We cannot wait to return!

Me beef bourgoin (sp) was very good. The meat portion was nice, but the potatoes, vegetables and stew were lacking and not enough, basically served in a small cereal bowl. I didn't feel the portion size matched the price and just had to finish eating the meat without the other. Other meals and desserts were nice.

We waited for a while for our table. Gave us complimentary wine which was nice. Table was a bit small for 6 people, but were given a chair a bit into our dinner. Still love dining here

Good drinks, steak tartar was good, bread service was good though bread was a little dry and tough, I wish it was warmer, but still good. Steak and butternut squash was very good. The beef bourguignon was good though very salty, I’m not sure if it was meant to be like that but I did not finish because I couldn’t take the salty. Great service and do check out the downstairs speak easy!

Dined with a large group of work colleagues for our holiday celebration. The restaurant made us feel very welcome. Service was a little slow (so French!) but that may have been because it was a large party with big orders. I think we all would not hesitate to return however. The food was wonderful and prices were in line with other restaurants of the same caliber.
