    Always wonderful experience here a serene and peaceful for dinner. The staff Matt and Elizabeth are so attentive. My only suggestion is that they change the menu seasonally again. We were there in December and the same options we on the menu which are wonderful but I so looked forward to the changes. I did have the special to give me another choice. Other than that, this remains my favorite spot for dinner!

    We thought the food overall was very good not great. Meatball appetizer was dry and disappointing. Excellent salad special and the noodle appetizer was very good. The Dover sole was good as was the pork chop and black bass. Service was excellent!

    The Wagyu steaks were delicious and very flavorful. The new appetizer- Lobster Roll was savory and very enjoyable. With several large groups celebrating birthdays, the restaurant was very noisy last night unfortunately.

    I brought my friends from overseas and they were blown away by how charming and incredibly delicious this new french american restaurant was. The steaks were incredible but the foie gras was memorable. BYOB so highly splurging and bringing a great cab or bordeaux. Perfect for date night or family celebrations, I'm definitely coming back again.
