This is our favorite special occasion restaurant. We usually celebrate birthdays and anniversaries here, and anything else we can come up with an excuse to celebrate. The food is consistently amazing, as is the atmosphere and the service. Even with fewer tables due to COVID, the essential character of the place has not changed.

Tables too close together. Lobster bisque was weak tasting. We could not hear the server when she was describing the specials and could not read the blackboard menu. The server taking care of the table right behind us spoke clearly and we could hear everything he said. Unfortunately, it was after we had received our food. Food was good but I would have ordered one of the specials if I had been able to hear what they were

Nothing better than being able to travel in these uncertain times. This was like a trip to the South of France to be delighted by each course of dinner. Tasty soups, appetizer of world-class escargot, a surprisingly elegant salad made with artichoke, olives, carrots and onions that sounded kinda basic but was pure heaven due to its execution and dressing. Incredible fresh fish offerings, each with its own fresh reduction sauce, was enjoyed by all. If you get tired of that the wild game is beyond belief. Great cocktails and topped with traditional creme brulee. Travel to heaven is what it felt like. All of this with good separation between guests and careful COVID protection as well.

Came in for my partners birthday. We were seated immediately at small table that made us sit side by side. We thought it was a bit odd at first but ended up liking the intimacy of it. We had three starters, two off the regular menu and one off their extensive specials list. Both our entrees ended up being off their specials list as well. The starters were phenomenal, leaving us wanting more when the entrees came. Finished with two desserts, both very good. My partner had two glasses of red, I ordered a gimlet that was more of a martini so not what I was expecting. Overall we were very impressed. Will be coming back but want to order off their regular menu to see how some of their more perfected entrees are.

This was one of the cutest restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life. The food was outstanding, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was so cozy. I was in town for business and went to the restaurant solo, and had the most special date night with myself. The wine list is extensive, and the desserts are to die for
