We had a totally lovely dinner, good value and well prepared and unique menu. Wait staff was a bit frantic (but very polite) getting everyone taken care (somewhat understaffed but we gave ourselves plenty of time to dine and get to our show at Briar street theater down the road) but we were not in a hurry and had time for dessert coffee. We would go there again.

Nice surprise as we had originally wanted to go to neighboring restaurant. My friend, who part takes of creme brulee whenever possible, was happy to see it was a dessert option;moreover, she thought it was perfect. My food was really good as well, I went with calamari as a starter and salmon for the entree. Very comfortable place for conversation, not rushed in any way. I'll go back!

Excellent waiter service! The bus boys do a very nice job of keeping up with removing used plates. If you like good customer service this is the place to dine. The seafood dishes are excellent.

We hadn't been here for a number of years and overall quality seems to have declined. The first three wines that we tried to order were out of stock. I and two people at an adjoining table ordered cassoulet, supposedly one of the restaurant's specialties, only to have the waitress come back and say that they didn't have any left. (It was only a little after 7:30.) Bread wasn't the freshest, salad soggy and main courses just okay,

One person in our party ordered the leg of lamb. He could not eat half of it because it was too tough to cut, much less eat. I had the filet and it was mediocre at best. I don't remember what the other person had but he said it was fair. I used to be a regular there 30 odd years ago. Was excited to see it was still there. Sorry we went.

My wife and I took my three daughters and their boyfriends out for dinner before going to second city and would be safe to say we were all disappointed . The Fioe Gras was almost not worth putting in our mouths. The Duck Confit was not really a duck confit. The stakes were of poor quality with no flavor whats somever. The Chicken was Ok and only that, and the desserts were a complete failure.
Not the same place it used to be. Bernard should get back in the restaurant and pay close attention before his reputation goes down with the establishment. I say this with a heavy heart because I have been to the place in the past when it shined.

Great for a first date. Although the service was a little slow, there was only one server for the whole room when my date and I went on a Sunday night. However the food was very good, and it was a great place to have a conversation.
