Negatines: Funny hours, small portions, overpriced, they don't bring bread/dinner rolls. Positives: has parking, good service.

I should of ran for the hills as soon as we got the hard as a rock bread - it could've chipped your tooth....Server takes it back and comes back with our same bread re- heated !! Our escargot was absolutely terrible - one of the worst garlic butter sauce I've ever had..The pom frites was not any better - the aoli sauce tasted worse than mayonnaise. I also had french onon soup - the worse, runny soup I've had. I said to tell my poor 2 friends who took me here for my birthday dinner - let's cut out losses and get out of here before they serve our dinner since they can't even get bread, fries, and French onion soup right..VERY DISAPPOINTED to say the least - my birthday dinner was ruined ?

Nice place. Very friendly staff!! Drinks are FABULOUS!! The Bass was very good. The steak and potato.... oh man ? I had to add so much salt and pepper to the dish to make it have any flavor. Kinda disappointed.If you are a Chai drinker like I am..... Rum Pum Pum Pum is your drink!! ? Vieux Carré is very good and ? strong.

We took outdoor seating in literally the farthest corner and they still managed to take good care of us. I was expecting the food to be pricey, but it's actually well priced for the content and service that you get. Will be coming back, their burger is my boys favorite!

Absolutely blown away by this experience. The food was truly exceptional. Every plate we tried was incredibly flavorful, well balanced and properly executed. We ordered the tasting menu and it was so worth it - the short rib was so soft it fell apart with a fork, the gnocchi was perfectly crisp on the outside but soft on the inside- never mind that truffle dressing. It made you want to pick up the plate and lock it if you could. The wine options were broad and the server was both knowledgeable about pairings and very attentive. Don’t miss this!

We didn’t have a reservation but got a table, party of 2. We felt rushed out of there by our server and it wasn’t even that late, we arrived @7:45pm, we weren’t a “difficult” party, and it wasn’t a busy night either. Each of us ordered 3 courses and 2 drinks, so we weren’t a “cheap” table if you will. Entrees came out when appetizers hadn’t been cleared yet, I had finished my glass of bubbles when my entree arrived and no other drink was offered until after a few bites into it, we weren’t offered a drink with our desserts, check was dropped before we finished our desserts, CC was processed and then signed check was picked up when dessert plates were cleared, clearly our sever needed to be somewhere else already. Food is tasty but dishing lacks creativity imho. We liked the food. It’s a shame that a server causes patrons not to comeback, she wasn’t mean at all, but it seemed she didn’t want to be there or didn’t want anymore tables but she got us, we won’t be back.

From cocktails, to appetizers, dinner and dessert, ingredient combinations were fantastic. Each sip/bite was savored. Our waiter, Reuben, was fascinating to speak with and even the hostess hurried to hold the door for my aging mother. Such great service and ambiance. Congrats to owners and team. We’ll be back again….

I came here with a group of friends for happy hour, and did not disappoint. The burger is humongous, and super tasty. I could not get enough of the fries either. All for a great price.I would come back to check out the super diverse and tasty looking menu too. The vibe here is great, kind of like a steakhouse.

We were so disappointed by our dinner here. This is a favorite restaurant of our family, and we were excited to try it. I’m not sure if our server was new, but we waited a long time. She hard a hard time opening our bottle of wine, and she forgot to serve one of our dishes. When she finally brought it, it was overcooked. Perhaps it had been sitting under the heat lamp the whole time. Desserts we’re also delayed and we were about to leave when they arrived. They comped those for us due to the delay but it was too little too late. My husband said he felt worse after than before arriving. In addition, it was loud and hard to hear, and we only had a party of three. I’m sad that we had such a bad experience.

Wonderful place for a date night. The drink I had was so good (French 75). Not by choice I'm glutenfree (not too many options) but they were very accommodating. I had potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and the risotto. Everything was delicious!
