    Went there with a reservation indicating an anniversary. Was greeted and asked if it was, indeed, our anniversary. Seated on time. Food, including their equivalent of steak frites, a lobster puff pastry special, Brussels sprouts salad, and mushroom risotto were all delicious in their own right, with rich, tasty sauces. The Bordeaux wine by the glass was very good. Great apple tartine and crème brûlée with a candle in it for our anniversary for dessert. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend!!
