    This is one of our favorite places. The oysters were amazing. We ordered a dozen and had to go ahead and order an extra half dozen. Great champagne options at amazing prices! Mussels, fantastic! The fries were also perfect. Dip them in the broth. Delicious. The atmosphere is also great. Low lighting, great music. It was our Valentine Dinner but we went on Saturday. Perfect date night.

    I went here for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend, my first Valentine’s Day with someone and just everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing. The bread was freshly made and perfect, the cod was creamy and soft while having this warm homemade feeling to it. The pistachio crème burle was the perfect finishing touch to the meal. Very well priced, extremely satisfied. Waiter was very helpful and food came out very fast and was absolutely delicious
