    Wonderful meal. Felt like I was in France. The steak au povire was the best I've eaten. The pate and crab cake starters were wonderful.

    The menu is diverse. The food was great. Our server was excellent. A reasonable $20 corkage fee for wine that we brought. I haven’t been to this restaurant in quite some time and I will definitely add it back into the list of favorites. ❤️

    Our favorite restaurant in the desert. We brought friends who had never been there before and they loved it. They can’t wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu.
