    Limited menu for lunch unless you like cold salads in winter. Took a long time to get someone to take a coffee order when we were finished eating. Ambience was nice but the back corner ended up being chilly. As it got busier, it got noisier.

    I got the $50 steak which was unfortunately not at all worth $50. The steak had more fat than anything and barely had any flavor. Incredibly disappointing, I won’t be returning.

    Our meals were underwhelming for the cost. Dinner did not measure up to ambience and price. Nicois salad had one potato, a ton of lettuce (not typical for that salad) and served with just oil and vinegar. Cheese platter was very small and no description given until asked. Just a mediocre meal for four and cost was over $300 with drinks.

    The chicken dish was stringy and needed to be sent back. The manager said that is how they prepare it although they had complaints in the past. The duck was to salty and smoked. I didn’t know that I was ordering a southern duck recipe

    Had a really nice time until, as I was waiting for my credit card to be returned the manager came over and told us we needed to leave because they had a reservation at the table. We were leaving. Very glad we didn’t order dessert. Service was a bit slow…but we had a nice time. Ended the evening on a bad note.

    What a gem to discover. We were seated shortly before close, but simply told “Please let us know what you’d like once you can review the menu, and then take your time to enjoy.” Friendly and attentive, but not the least bit intrusive. The mains, side, and beverages we had were memorably good. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of the creative menu. Final note is that our party included food sensitivities, and the menu had both fun breadth and clear markings to support choices that avoided the food sensitivities.

    Went here for my birthday and it was an amazing experience! My waitress and the chef made me feel like a celebrity! My food was incredible, I have never had more flavorful beets (beet frites) and the duck was so juicy. My cocktails were super tasty and easy to drink. The atmosphere was really chill and cute, I kinda want the color scheme for my future home. 10/10 would absolutely go back again for more!

    We were using this as a place to meet with relatives we had not seen in many years. We had a great time and they did not throw us out when we finished our meal! Food and drink were excellent and, at the middle of the day, each person could have lunch or breakfast as they desired. I had the clam chowder - maybe the best I've ever had.

    We had high hopes for our meal here, based on the positive reviews. We had a good time, but that was DESPITE the food, not because of it. The margaritas from the bar were flavorless. The filet (served with cold French fries and brown “gravy”) was palatable only when dipped in ketchup. The ambience was nice but we definitely won’t be back.
