We made reservations for Valentine’s well in advance; we arrived on time were promptly seated and a nice corner deuce. We enjoyed appetizers, hot spinach salad table d’hotel, fish and veal as mains, finished w made-in-house tiramisu. Excellent ambiance, food, and service. Recommend for a special night out.

We were looking forward to a nice Valentine's dinner. We arrived on time for our 7:15 reservation. We were not seated until 7:30, understanding that the restaurant was very busy. However, no one gave us menus until I asked a bus boy about 15 min. later. Our waiter, "Joe" came over right after that and my husband ordered a cocktail. We did not place our dinner order for another 10 min., now 8:00. The cocktails and my wine did not arrive for another 10+ min. Point is that service was very slow. We felt overlooked by our waiter. I had to ask the bus boy again for the check. We did not leave until after 9 p.m.

Great escargot. Steak au poivre a little overcooked, considering that my husband asked for medium rare. Classic French dishes presented in a festive ambiance with impeccable service.
