Reviews
Everything was on point from start to finish. The food was outstanding.
Joe made sure we were taken care of and Adam, our server, delivered fantastic service. The level of attention to detail speaks volumes about the management. The night truly felt special.
We were a group of 10, and one of the girls had worked closely with the manager ahead of time to make sure there were vegan‑friendly options for us. Unfortunately, the waiter wasn’t informed, so he had to check with the manager before we could place our orders, which delayed things a bit.
Once the food started coming, it was really worth the wait! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Traveling always reminds me how fun it is to explore a city through great meals and good company.
Here’s what I had:
• Endive salad
• Cauliflower steak
• Ratatouille
• Sorbet
Overall, cozy spot with great energy. Definitely would come back for another girls’ night with plant based options! ✨
I had the mushroom pasta and it had a generous amount of truffle shavings on it, which I love. Their appetizers, from their escargot to steak tartar, were all amazing. Everyone loved their entrees and we tried a few of their desserts and all of those were great as well. If you’re looking for a nice dinner I highly recommend!
The food was as expected at a fine dining restaurant, but it was not extraordinary. The service was and atmosphere was also as expected and good.
If you’re looking for something special considering the money you will be spending here, this is not it.
The management team, and especially Stanley, reached out personally and invited us back. That alone spoke volumes. From the moment we returned, the experience was elevated in every possible way. Thoughtful, intentional, and genuinely warm service from start to finish.
Our server, Gilbert, was outstanding. Not only was he attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional, but he was also training another team member at the same time and still delivered flawless service. That level of composure and hospitality is rare.
The food was phenomenal. The salt crusted branzino, flambéed tableside, was both a visual experience and absolutely delicious. I had the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the seasonal sautéed mushrooms and the seasonal pear date tart, which was incredible. To top it all off, they surprised us with a crème brûlée that was the perfect ending to the evening.
Every detail was handled with care. The service, the food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality were all exceptional. Francine turned a moment into a lasting impression, and that speaks volumes about their commitment to excellence. Huge thank you to Stanley, Gilbert, and the entire team for an unforgettable experience.
Personally will not go back to this place.
Ps. When i visited this restaurant 2 years ago, it was a good experience, good vibe, good service. Idk what happened.
