This was a nice, cozy place to eat. I cannot stress enough how amazing the cream of mushroom soup was. It was one of the best parts of my meal and, in general, one of my favorite soups I’ve ever had. I got the steak frites which cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce. I strongly recommend this place to eat if you’re in the area. It was a small-ish dining area, but comfortable for a fair sized group. There was someone celebrating their birthday there with around 10 or so people and they were seated pretty nicely.

We did the $45 pre-fixe menu and it was a great value. The food was quite delicious and the service was attentive and hospitable. Loved the poached egg with mushrooms and spinach appetizer! It was flavorful. I could eat that everyday. Will definitely be back again.

My first visit for dinner tonight with my friend. Food was super delicious...we had onion soup, escargos, duck meal, lava cake n raw oysters and wine and cocktails! Our server Michael (Mike) was amazing. The GM. Jonathan was outstanding definitely a great leader of men and women...he was checking on every table for the 3 hours we were there. He was serving customers. Pulling the slack with his team! I highly recommend this restaurant to friends, family, everyone.
