    I made a reservation for dinner, and when we arrived the host accused me of not having a reservation. Not sure why she was so accusatory…I had to pull up my open table app to prove to her that we had a reservation. She then proceeded to tell me someone gave our reservation away. We then waited 30 minutes at our table before we ended up just walking out. 3 waiters walked by us at least 10+ times without addressing us at all. Definitely will not return.

    I go for a special treat and really enjoy the place in all aspects. My husband thought it was a tad pricey so I tend to go without him except this was our anniversary so I made him come along. I will be back for lunch soon.

    Special Birthday Dinner. Staff was attentive. Food was excellent. Food selection was excellent. Husband had Wild Boar. Daughter had Pistachio crusted Grouper. Son had roast duck breast and I had a Tuna Niçoise salad. It was truly a special treat.

    As an Opentable VIP and user since the inception of Opentable, I can say this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The French Onion soup was one of the best and my lamb chops were cooked perfectly. My wife had the soup of the day, a great twist on gazpacho. Her mushroom napoleon was spot on as well. Great wine and cocktail list. We will be returning soon.

    Food and service were great! I ordered the fromage appetizer with four cheeses which was excellent and well-presented. We also tried the ratatouille as an appetizer which was good. For the main course we enjoyed the New Zealand venison and the gnocchi. Both were great. I thought the venison was cooked to perfection. To wrap things up, we went with the lemon panna cotta and the sorbet, which were delicious.
