    Our waiter (young man from France) was great. Told us some of the popular menu items. I ordered the lunch petite salmon and it was excellent. Can't wait to return for dinner in the near future!

    Pretentious pricing for average food. The food was fair - not bad, but not special either. The pricing, however, was outrageous. My wife was not particularly hungry that evening, so she ordered a starter with two side dishes: green beans and mashed potatoes. She received twelve green beans in that side order ($7), and a dollop of mashed potatoes in the other side order ($7). Again, the food was adequate, but not worthy of a special occasion. We will not be returning.
