I’ve never been to this restaurant before, but it was my wife’s favorite and I must say it was overall a wonderful experience between the beautiful scenery upstairs to the quality of the food, and the overall service was wonderful. I got the duck in the charcuterie and it blew my mind. The upstairs was so beautiful. I love having a a little light on my table. It was very romantic. Even the bar downstairs was very nice and made my wife’s cocktail and suggested a wonderful bear for me. Drank some very nice French wine. I highly recommend this place for a birthday celebration or romantic night out. I will be back.
