Beautiful, comfortable dining room and not too noisy. I had the Scottish salmon and it was fantastic. My partner had the roast chicken, and that was very good, too. Excellent wines, although it would be nice if there were more than one chardonnay on the menu (and if one was priced less than $19 a glass). I had the Cotes du Rhone, and it was delicious with the beurre rouge salmon. Chez Billy lived up to its reputation, and I look forward to returning for dinner after their renovation is complete.

Food, ambiance, and service was amazing. Only issue was that the French toast was too fancy for the pallet of a seven year old.

Absolutely amazing. Did the 3 course meal with wine pairing and it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. They also personalized our dessert as they knew we were in town for a special occasion. 10/10 recommend.

Crab stuffed shrimp were excellent. Filet was mediocre. There was too much dressing on the Caesar Salad and the Lobster Bisque was so-so. The bread was great and the service superb.

An overall wonderful experience. The patio was so cozy with all the fires and space heaters in February. The wait staff were friendly, attentive and answered all our questions about the dishes. The Family Dinner included many more plates than were listed on the menu, all of which were delicious. It was a really special experience.

The food was cooked well. The drinks were superb. The ambience was great. The seating is a bit congested, depending on where you are seated. The main course took an hour to arrive and one appetizer never arrived to the table. Overall, it was a good experience.
