Forrest, as well as all the staff attending to our table—server assistants, bartender, food runners, sommelier—were knowledgeable, warm, and perfectly attentive. He managed our courses and table in a way that showed a great regard for the “experience” of the meal. Our wine was excellent, the mocktails made a great aperitif, and the nightcap was the perfect note to end on. Truly wonderful all-around.

Was so looking forward to a special occasion out. For a restaurant that includes service fee automatically, we didn’t have the best experience. Our server fully forgot to serve us an entire course, and didn’t realize it until we asked… Stressful time so we get it. But a rather big mistake for the price and excitement we had dining here above any other place in the city.

Outstanding experience as we celebrated a special occasion. Delicious food, awesome service, beautiful room. Not cheap, but fair for the quality. I could also see coming back to grab a burger at the bar.

Overpriced, and when I’m given a check, I prefer seeing a breakdown, which they weirdly don’t offer, as if it’s below them.

I'm glad we ordered off both menus because we all preferred the selections off the regular menu. The salad with the endives was a real winner, the salad with the duck skin was lost on us. The duck bread pudding was a quirky idea that actually worked quite well on the plate. I'm glad we got to try the pressed breast because we had read a lot about this dish. The cassoulet on the side was the best cassoulet, hands down, we all have ever had. The chocolate souffle was really good but the apple tart wasn't a favorite. The service was very attentive and friendly. They have some great signature cocktails on the menu, and I liked being able to order a glass of a good Bordeaux. If we went back, we all agreed we would order off the regular menu. The endive salad for an appetizer and ask if they could make the cassoulet as a main course. (and of course pair it with a glass of that great Saint-Estephe)

An absolutely wonderful New Year’s Eve experience! From the festive ambiance to the impeccable service, everything was thoughtfully curated to make the evening special. The menu was a perfect blend of creativity and flavor, and the attention to detail truly stood out. A fantastic way to ring in the new year—highly recommend!
