    I love this restaurant — the interior is absolutely beautiful with a very classic style. It reminded me of my time in Paris, and it has definitely become one of my favorite spots. The appetizer selection was wonderful. I loved the duck pâté and the French onion soup, which was perfectly balanced and not too heavy, especially before a full meal. We tried several classic dishes including the Ballotine De Poulet Farcie, Boeuf Bourguignon, and the Garlic Crusted Rack of Lamb — all absolutely delicious. To finish, the Dark Chocolate Marquise was the perfect dessert. Must try.

    We had the best experience for our first visit. Sean was our server and he was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable throughout our entire reservation. The overall service from the entire staff was excellent and we so appreciated that as we had someone consistently checking in- the sommelier made wonderful recommendations as well! Every dish was amazing, we started with the lamb neck charcuterie, beets and raviolis! We split the steak frites New York cut as well as the asparagus and it was perfect- to die for! We were so full but Sean was so kind and generous he brought out the birthday girl a complimentary ice cream bite with a candle! We can’t wait to return and try more of the menu, we will absolutely be asking to be seated with Sean again too!
