The atmosphere is somewhat underwhelming for the fine dining side of restaurants, but the food is good. It's a good place for date nights and so forth, but honestly if you are going to pay high prices there are many more options in the city to choose from. Still worth trying once atleast.

Made everyone with reservations wait a long time even tho there were tons of empty tables. The food was alright, probably not worth the high price.

I wish I could give zero stars. It was my birthday and the only thing I wanted was pate and caviar. Our party of 2 arrived and we were sat and greeted by a new hire who explained that the server training her would take our order. So we waited for over 15mins, he never came to greet us, but there were 2 tables directly next to us that he tended to. He literally walked by us at least 5 times and never spoke to us. My birthday was ruined, and by the time we ended up leaving, everything else was closing. I went to bed hungry on my birthday. And even after we decided to go, he stood right there and never even apologized. Nothing! I would not recommend. March 17th 2025 around 7:50pm

Excellent food. Lamb was very good and caviar on top a nice touch. My wife liked her steak! Mushroom gumbo was delicious as was the goat cheese crouton. Tasty desserts! …but why are you using imported fish at a restaurant with nearby gulf access for fish of the day?
Service was pretty atrocious. I was snapped at by the waitress for trying to order appetizers before ordering drinks. Apparently another server had to tell you about the food before you can order it. Weird, I am capable of reading and asking questions (why are their 3 servers doing random things? I think you need a lot more staff.)
Long wait times, especially to clear plates. I’m spending a couple hundred dollars on food, it would be nice not to have dirty plates on the table for extended periods of time. Honestly I’ve had better service at a Chili’s.
Lastly, it was nice to see the manager or whoever he was start to clear some plates instead of telling other guests he’s a wine expert. Weird. Get your rear in gear and help out.
Long story short, great food and poor service. I would spend your fine dining dollars elsewhere, I know I will.

Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. This is a very French restaurant and your visit is intended to last a while, the service is excellent throughout the meal. Everything I had was fresh, perfectly cooked and delicious, but in typical French fashion...heavy. The garlic flan with escargot was served swimming in butter with toasted garlic and herbs, every bite was from heaven, amazing flavors and textures. The duck confit salad was wonderful, the duck has an unexpectedly strong curry-ish flavor that I like, but when eaten with all the other elements of the dish (lentils, salad mix), it is balaced. I enjoyed the speckled trout, I asked for it to be prepared in the tuna style with gnochi, wilted spinach and fresh tomato salsa...but the dish as salty for me, I should have ordered it as it comes on the menu. Tried the vegan apple dessert....excellent if you are vegan or not, but I did not care for the texture or flavor of the coconut whipped cream, I'll get it with ice cream instead. The martinis were very good!

Service was top notch. Duck and steak came out well done. Wanted medium rare. Restaurant took very good care of us. I am guessing this is not the norm.

Tired? Perhaps re-tired. High hopes based on older recommendations from friends and family, but time for the proverbial fork. Put this formerly formidable racehorse out to pasture.

Completely unremarkable and mediocre food. Waitress tried to sell us on overpriced wine and when we didn’t bite- tried to sell us on $60 tenderloin saying truffles were a bargain. Stuffy atmosphere- boring and drab. Life is short, skip this one.
Tremendous good & service. I highly recommend our server Jackie— she helped us order & provided me with a great Petit Chablis when I asked for a recommendation!!

A dining haven of the area, where you can enjoy masterful food with creative ingredients and elegant surroundings. My fish was supreme and the starter bread was also supreme. I think that the staff were knowledgeable and friendly.

We came while on vacation to celebrate our anniversary, and his was the best dining experience we have had in years. The staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgable. There is very nice music playing, but it is soft so it is easy to have a discussion. The decor features warm colors, and soft lighting - all very comfortable. We had a duck pate, and Ceasar salad for appetizers, and lamb and poussin for mains. We followed with a chess tart and chocolate gelato for dessert. Too bad we live 1,500 miles away - I would come back sooner.
