    Just ate there twice, and enjoyed our meals both times. Would highly recommend FINALLY, a restaurant with a civilized, quiet ambience. Soft music, ceiling and carpeted floor absorbs the noise. Wait staff super accommodating. Food was very good, especially the pate appetizer, the scallops and the duck. However, I personally found the food in the main courses a bit undercooked- haricot verts were quite crunchy, the roasted potatoes just a bit undercooked, meat bloody red though ordered medium. Great if this is your preference. However, they are happy to cook food more if requested.

    Very friendly staff. Went for lunch on a weekday. Moderately busy with only one or two servers so some of the refills and requests took a little longer than we would have liked. Food was good. Caesar was much better than the frittata. Overall a lovely spot.
