Reviews
The service is professional and the atmosphere is elegant. The dishes are consistently outstanding. Must-try items include the Steak Frites, Duck Confit, and the delicious Escargot. Make sure to save room for the famous Napoleon dessert. Highly recommended for any special occasion!
The wine list is extensive and appealing. While the $30 glass of Saint-Émilion we ordered didn’t quite stand out, it didn’t take away from an overall excellent experience.
We were seated on time for our reservation and enjoyed attentive service throughout the evening. We did arrive a bit early and were asked to wait briefly, so arriving right at your reservation time seems to work best.
A great spot for a special night out — we would happily return.
The food was disappointing. The salad was not fresh and didn’t taste good at all. The short rib was average, and I couldn’t finish it. The duck was just okay. Several items we expected based on photos online from a few months ago were no longer available, which made it seem like the menu changes frequently.
For dessert, the chocolate soufflé cake was not good at all…it was bitter, and the chocolate wasn’t melting on the inside as expected. I also ordered a tea and was given the wrong one.
Overall, the experience felt overpriced for the quality, and I wouldn’t recommend this place
Service is friendly and gently persuasive, like a menu therapist guiding you toward life’s better decisions. The bread service arrives warm, with walnuts chunky enough to make you question your dental insurance, but the salted butter redeems everything.
Highlights of the night: a surf & turf carpaccio (skirt steak + crab) that easily stole the show; a decadent duck liver mousse that doubled as the bread service’s best friend; steak tartare that leaned sweet but came with truffle sauce, so all is forgiven; and prawns that were both delicious and big enough to demand their own ZIP code.
Dessert is where things get serious. The rice pudding—yes, rice pudding—was phenomenal, with flavor pairings straight out of a Rice to Riches fever dream. The bananas foster is another strong choice if you prefer your sugar flambéed.
Parking? Technically free. Realistically, nonexistent. On a Friday night, just hand over the $10 for valet and consider it the price of admission to a better life decision.
