What a neighborhood gem!! Food is expertly prepared and so tasty. We shared beet salad and then I had the Mushroom Shepherds pie and my husband had the Ratatouille. We shared a bagette and both had in house made desserts- the chocolate mousse- like one and the cheesecake- so light and not too sweet. I couldn’t even finish it. It’s a BYOB - plenty of food but we’re not big eaters. Romantic Atmosphere and our server was so pleasant and helpful. Will return. Reasonable prices for CC.
