We had the pre fixe Christmas dinner. The staff was amazing! Service was outstanding. The salad was good as was the appetizer. The main entrees, salmon and beef were tasty but they were split between 3 of us and were small portions. The crème brûlée was great but tiny. The chocolate dessert was fine. We enjoyed the experience and the quality of the food.

We came for the 3-course Apero dinner. We added the marrow bone, which was amazing! My only complaint was that the stroganoff was too salty. The flavors were great, otherwise.

Service was friendly, but 3 of four starters and entrees (for our party of four) ranged from bland/disagreeable to uneatable. "Pickled" dishes (crudo, risotto) were so acidic as to be offensive. Recipes mostly poorly conceived. The cassoulet was passable, and apple crumble dessert the only tasty dish. Overall poor value. We won't ever eat here again.

Overall not impressed as it did not live up to the reviews. Menu was limited. Dessert was on the small side for the price.

The back patio was a cozy, warm hidden gem. We felt like we were dining in a charming alley in France.
