Everything was outstanding, decor felt like I was in a old French mom and dad restaurant which me and my partner loved! Food was on spot every cooked to perfection as well as tasted better then anything I’ve ever had before. The only thing that I guess to complain about is the noise level raised quite highly around 7:00pm and up. (Try and book your reservation a week in advance if you want a romantic quiet night try around 5 or 6pm. Other than that very respectful staff that were on top of everything very professional and you could tell they love their jobs! definitely making this spot a special occasion date spot and will be back indefinitely.

We ate outside and while it was humid it wasn’t terrible as there were fans. There was live music and we could hear it but couldn’t make out the songs. Nautical gnocchi was delicious for me. My husband had the dirty chicken. Portion size was good and we each could have finished our meals but saved some for lunch tomorrow.
