Have been wanting to try this spot and was happy to get a reservation! Had steak frites and sides. The Mac and cheese was so good. The carrots the potatoes and the harvest salad was so delicious as well. I should asked for my steak done a little bit more but that was on me. Lol. Great ambiance and service. The espresso martini was perfect.
