    Delicious lunch of Nicoise Salad, chicken liver parfait , mushroom soup, and profiteroles. Lunch delicious as usual. Service very good. Bar seats full at 2pm, reservations recommended. Take out order of cheeseburger was missing the caramelized onions. Tomato and lettuce are not automatically included on burger and must be requested if desired.

    I haven’t been here in a few years and decided to return as I’ve always loved the ambiance. I remember the food as being good but not excellent. This time it was excellent as was the seevice and everything about our meal. It seems they have really stepped things up a notch since I was last there. I’ll definitely be back again soon!

    We were there early, prior to busy time so the restaurant was nice and quiet. I can't comment on noise level at a busy time. Food was very nice, service was pleasant and appropriate, price was very good. Enjoyed it!

    First off I have only been one time, but I live out of state so I'm not likely to be able to go three times in a six month period to be super fair with this review. That said it was fantastic, fabulous and fierce! The service is incredible, the bartender is top notch & has a wonderful singing voice, even our table support staff got caught humming or singing as they worked, then our servers each belted out amazing ballads. While I didn't have the opportunity to peek into the basement kitchen, I can only surmise they are happily listening to heavy metal and have voracious appetites for culinary knowledge. The overall experience was delicious and delightful. We hope our next visit will be extremely similar and sooner than later.
