We were treated like kings and queens! The restaurant is so beautiful inside, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had to wait longer than we would have liked for our main course to be served. But all in all, that is a small price to pay for such an otherwise perfect restaurant experience.

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.
