Soup of day often bad. Bean Soup was veggie soup with 2 beans. Clam chowder same. Ergo, same. Taste like veggie soup. Ne Chowder has no clam taste & watery. Not thick. Broccoli, pumpkin, onion, cauliflower good.

Atmosphere was great and our server was great. Our appetizers was not good and the colossal crab was a joke. Our dinners were pretty good. Did not do dessert. Overall not sure if I would go back.

They have to renovate and change the menu a bit. The steaks were not to temperature and the mashed potatoes had lumps. not a fan.

Delicious dinner and excellent service. The four of us very much enjoyed the evening. Tuna tartare was raved about. Scallops very enjoyable. Veal special also very good. Filet mignons were nice. Cesar salad basic. Bread not very inspired. Prices are quite high. Only minor quibbles. With four people including drinks, dessert and tip the tab was well over five hundred dollars. For that price it would be nice not to be charged four dollars extra for horseradish cream or au poivre for the filet mignons. That sort of nickel and dime-ing feels unnecessary.
