Food was great. Kudos to chef. Service though was not too good. From moment we sat down, we were made to feel like a “chore”. Kind of a bummer.

What a gem! Great spot for a date night. Service was lovely and our favorites were the French onion soup (YUM) and apple tart for dessert. Definitely will be coming back.

Best meal and wine I’ve had in my life. The pate en croute, gamay wine and scallops were amazing.
