What a wonderful experience. I work in the restaurant industry, I rarely have a Saturday Night off to experience the other side of the dining experience and let me tell you it was superb. I made a note on my reservation saying my boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and we started off the night with a toast of complimentary Prosecco on the house. We also Indulged in the crabcake appetizer, as well as the duck cassoulet that was phenomenal. On Saturday evenings, they offer a château Briand for two for 135 and couldn’t pass up that deal. The martini cart girl was a pleasant surprise as well as the presentation of their bread service with a sharp quick steak knife stabbed through it on the table. Their wine selection by the glass as well as splits and full bottles complemented their level of professionalism and service. We definitely splurge that evening to celebrate, and we look forward to coming back on just a regular evening for dinner in the near future. Thank You
