    Very good meal this past Thursday night. My wife and I started with the organic salad and gazpacho soup. Refreshing and tasty. Halibut and pork chop perfectly cooked. Nice desserts and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc rounded out the evening. Remembered my wife’s birthday with a card and special greeting menu. Service was on point. Cheers

    Where do I start? From the minute my family arrived we were treated like Kings and Queens. We sat in patio comfortable chairs and lots of room. Jacob our server was amazing very patient with us as we tried to make choices. The cocktails were amazing. We were not rushed and that was so great. My family had not been together in a while and had a chance to visit without any interruptions. The food was presented and everything was super delicious. From scallops encroute, to a vegetarian entree. The mussels I could go on for hours as how delicious they were. If I could give a 10 rating, it would great. For a most enjoyable evening experience, I applaud Valette.

    A little less than I expected on this visit. The pork was overcooked and was dry. The halibut was good, but not great. The duck was the best dish on the table.  We sat at a table near the front of the restaurant and every time the door opened The sun would shine through on my wife’s face, and she have to look down. Restaurant felt very noisy for such a special place.
