                                                    First timers. The food was solid but we have had better. It was also served just acceptable hot. We enjoyed the overall experience but a bit expensive for the quality of meat.

The four of us enjoyed all the appetizers and main dishes we ordered: buffalo chicken sandwiches, Kale salad, Mussels, Onion soup, Pasta with short ribs, coffee, and creme brulee for dessert. This is a great neighborhood restaurant.

                                                    The service was excellent, friendly, and attentive . We both chose to try the restaurant week menu. The first course choices we had, the salad and duck rillettes, were great. Then we each had the duck for the second. We both found the sauce a bit too heavy and did not enhance the very juicy duck. Perhaps a fruit based sauce in a smaller quantity would have been better. However, the fries were really great, too delicious and irrestible! The bread pudding was wonderful. The portions were generous. I must add that the manager was especially friendly and welcoming.

                                                    Seats and table had crumbs everywhere when I was first seated at my table.

                                                    Lovely atmosphere and excellent location. Our food was good not superb. For example, the Eggs Benedict came with a razor thin slide of Canadian Bacon. It should have been a thick slice given the nature of the restaurant- a bistro - and the pricing. The dish also came with excellent roasted potatoes.
