    Despite the very slow service, the food we had was fantastic! They ran out of Escargot on Valentines night lol but we very much enjoyed our food as well as the wine we picked. Parking is free after 5pm behind JC City Hall, which is a block away. Feels like we were literally in Paris with the way the staff was, the food and the tiny restaurant.

    Edward’s is the best! The food is always amazing (Tuna Tartar, shoestring onions and any steak are my favorites). Don’t miss out by getting a table; Be sure to sit at the bar to meet some of the best bartenders in the business. Mickey makes a mean dirty martini. Definitely recommend.

    We love Orale! We’ve been dining here for years and always have a great time. Absolutely the best staff around - they’re warm, welcoming, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Last night we were happy to be seated in Simon’s section again - and he somehow remembered our family’s order though we hadn’t made it there in the last few months. The vibe always feels like a celebration, and it felt particularly terrific for a family Valentine’s Day dinner. Menu is creative but accessible. Always the right choice!
