    Used to love this place. Sadly it has gone down hill. Calamari was over breaded and overcooked, French onion soap was lukewarm, pasta was dry from being under the heating lamp too long, steak frites was mid with far superior and less expensive options in the city, the lamb rack was good but the sides were sad. The mixed vegetables were as if they took a frozen bag of Birds Eye and threw it on the plate. Will not return to this once beloved spot.

    The food and service is good, but nothing outstanding. When ordering steak fries you get a ok-sized piece of meat on a huge bed of French fries with no other sides. Prices are a bit high for overall quality.

    I visited this restaurant with my friend and while the food was acceptable, the service was very disappointing. The staff were unnecessarily rude when serving the dishes and clearing the table, which made the experience uncomfortable. Given the lack of courtesy and attentiveness, I do not feel the service warranted leaving more tips. Good manners and professionalism are key to a pleasant dining experience, and unfortunately, this was not the case here. I hope the management addresses this issue to improve customer satisfaction.
