    While our server was very sweet. She completely ignored us most of the entire dinner. First she Forgot to bring my first glass of wine and then I had to wave her down when wanting a refill, once ignoring me and once coming over. They also forgot my salad but she never checked on our meal so I was done eating my meal by the time I told a different waitress about my salad since our waitress was busy with other tables. The receptionist brought it long after I finished the the rest of the meal which was annoying but it was a delicious salad. Several times I saw her look at our empty plates and walk in the other direction without taking them as well as no busser there to take them off the table long after we were done eating. As other reviews have mentioned they served cornbread bread rolls with the escargot which we tried them but never ate them. Fortunately, I did order the baguette for an additional $10 which was paired perfectly with the escargot. Sorry but you’ll need to order both appetizers to make it one complete appetizer. The steak was average and the frites were super chewy like they had been cooked earlier and thrown into an air fryer later. That was disappointing. All in all it was hit and miss on the food and the service was terrible. I wouldn’t really recommend this place. A lot of improvements are needed here.

    Cute spot, but honestly overpriced. We ordered three appetizers, two entrees, and dessert. The chocolate creameux and my margarita were the highlights of the meal. The service was also lovely. However, I don’t imagine being back anytime soon.

    Surprised no Titos, Makers Mark, Woodford, Baileys for various cocktails. Server was great but she had too many tables and no acknowledgement of service slowness issues by anyone. We were at our table for over 20 minutes before any greeting and drink order. Salads were not well dressed. Pork schnitzel overcooked. Everything overpriced overall. We were very excited to check it out with connection to Michelin star restaurant owner, but we did, and it was ok, but we won’t choose to come back over a lot of other places.

    Overall a good experience. The service was attentive and the food was good. The vegetarian options were limited. The cocktails were nothing special. The wine options were very limited for by the glass.

    My wife had the Steak Frites and I had the Salmon. Her steak was a little tough; fries were uniquely cooked adding a different flavor. My salmon was excellent. The devil eggs appetizer was okay. NuLu area is hopping especially on Saturday evening which adds a lot of energy, however, parking is a hassle. Drove around several times trying to find a spot. Finally, did valet which cost me $28!!
