Reviews
The staff was pleasant, but on the slower side – I feel they may have been short.
We ordered cheese fondue to start, which was a perfect blend, but not warm enough. For mains we had the lamb shank and steak which were both delicious and a good bit of food! For dessert we had the chocolate mouse, I only wish it came with more than one strawberry.
We started with sharing the clam chowder, and it was amazing—my photo in the review doesn’t do it justice. Creamy, loaded with real clams, and easily rivaling some of the best we’ve had along the New England coast. It was so good, I ditched my original entree choice and ordered a full bowl for myself as my entree.
My husband went with the cassoulet and was equally impressed, comparing it favorably to one made by his favorite chef in Chicago. That’s saying something.
Thursday also happened to be half-price wine night, which was a great bonus. We sat at the bar since there were no open tables, and the bartender was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and really on top of things despite the busy crowd.
Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in town!
We used to come here often when we lived in Hampton Roads. We loved it so much we would bring visiting family.
Naturally, we popped in when we came back to the area. Our favorite entree was not on the menu. Our server, who was kind and attentive, offered to talk to the chef to see if she would accommodate us. This is something you just don’t see in this day and age — a server willing to go above and beyond, and the notion that a chef would be willing to accommodate?
So they did! The chef was able and willing to accommodate us, so we had our favorite breakfast entree. We caught the chef heading to the back, and were able to thank her. She was humble and gracious. ☺️
It was as delicious as we remembered it!
We made the mistake of ordering Parisian Hot Chocolate for my husband and daughter!!!! ☕️ I couldn’t stop dipping my croissant it. Don’t do it! It’s addicting! But we will be getting it if we come back while it’s on the menu.
Lastly, I needed to reprint our receipt. Not a usual request. As typical, impatient patrons, I asked other servers that were close by. They and the host were attentive. One of the servers was able to make it happen. Again, above and beyond, because POSs can be finicky.
Management is definitely doing something right. They have customer service standards. They are hiring the right people, and training them well.
First, our waiter was fantastic. Very attentive and kind and stopped by often. The drinks were also very good.
I got the blackened fish Reuben, and it was a nice twist on a classic sandwich. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife got the steak and fries. The fries were probably the highlight of the meal. They were seasoned so perfectly and cooked so well. The steak on the other hand was decent but a tad disappointing for the price. For $40 I think we were expecting a little better than what tasted like a run of the mill sirloin.
For dessert, we decided to get the chocolate mousse which was a delicious way to wrap up the evening.
Overall, the meal was a pleasant experience, but it didn’t wow us to the point where we would have to eat here again if we are in town sometime in the future.
