Reviews
Decided to spend my wife’s birthday celebration ✨️ here and they graciously made it a memorable night for our family. From the personalized menu, card, and warm greetings from the staff and the 3rd generation owner Mr Valette we were very much overwhelmed by the hospitality and care that was provided.
Of equal mention is the food which definitely delivered professional standards and is meticulously deliberate in the balance of flavors and ingredients. The menu is very well constructed and pairs well with all the recommendations from our head waiter. Arguably the most notable duck dish we have had in this region. Their scallops are also imaginative as is their sub menu selection of shared dishes. Cocktail are equally well crafted
Their service is integral to the whole dining experience and their staff was definitely up to par as the secret ingredient.
The place harkens back to the depression era which was once started as a bakery and has gone through four generations up to its present evolution to a fine dining establishment. Some of its rustic historical charm still can be keenly felt in the furnishings and large panel mirror.
One does still feel the French provincial influences from the original migrant owners
Truly a culinary gem worth returning to
Reservations are highly recommended
Ideal for special occasions, dates and family gatherings
Our waiter Jacob made the whole night. He was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel so well taken care of. He never missed a beat! He struck that rare balance of professional and personal.. we never felt rushed, yet everything flowed seamlessly. Thank you Jacob!
1. The bread reminded me a bit of king Hawaiian rolls – it was good, but did not belong in a restaurant of this class (should have been our first hint)
2. The scallops were good – a bit too salty for me, but the presentation and the combination of flavors were spot on. They were perfectly cooked.
3. My pork was flat out bad 🙁 it came with fresh fava beans, which I expected to be at least a bit steamed / cooked – they were not, which clashed with the pork tenderness. The pork chop was tender, but it was also undercooked in some areas – you don’t undercook pork and chicken! I had to cut around the underdone pieces and finally gave up because I wasn’t enjoying the dish anyways. The pork and the beans were over some bean puree and chimichurri-type sauce. There was also a splash of chili oil on the side of the plate. The spice in the chili oil and chimichurri was so overpowering, that I did not taste anything else. Even the chanterelles (which caught my eye and were the main reason I ordered the dish) were flavorless because of the overpowering spice. Our waiter offered to bring me something else, but I was already full on bread and whatever I tried of the dish. He ended up comping the dish for us, which was much appreciated. But the fact remains that it was not good
4. My mom’s halibut was good, but a bit overdone – it was not as tender as halibut normally is.
The atmosphere/ setting was more akin to an upscale bar than a fine dining restaurant. It was fine for me, but – again – not what I would have expected from a restaurant that charges >$40 per entree.
