    Our evening started with a warm, professional welcome. Erica was a lovely server - attentive and helpful. She provided great recommendations with wine/cocktails. The food was top notch as usual - we ordered oysters, mushrooms on toast, anilin and steak frites. They also brought out dessert with a candle for the birthday we were celebrating. Loved the music lightly playing in the background. Don't forget to take pictures in the Photo Booth to wrap up your evening!
