    Spectacular experience from the moment we arrived. I have made a note this was a birthday dinner. They greeted my guest with great warmth and good birthday wishes. Our table was by the window, exactly as requested. The service was prompt, friendly and they took cues from us to understand we were catching up and had a lot of chatting to do. We asked for a wine recommendation and the server's suggestion was delicious and perfectly priced. I had the duck breast with ratatouille and ate every bite. It was cooked medium which was what I asked for. My guest had steak fritte with béarnaise and loved it. Again, cooked as requested a perfect medium rare. We could not resist two desserts. The berry-filled bread pudding was unique and superb. The giant profiterole covered in hot fudge was scrumptious. We enjoyed everything and highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. It could not have been more perfect.
