    We were a party of 12 and our server, Miguel, couldn't have worked any harder than he did to make our evening perfect. The food was excellent - everyone loved their meals and the wine! And from the beginning, the staff at the restaurant was so helpful in making sure it was a wonderful night for our celebration. We definitely plan to return again.

    Lovely French restaurant and bakery. The pastries and cakes are outstanding! The French onion soup is cheesy and wonderful. Always enjoy the filet mignon, salmon, duck and lamb entrees! Wonderful service and a intimate dining area.
