I had the best lunch here- blackened fish Ceasar and a lovely homemade soup. Everything on the menu looked fantastic and I'm excited to return. The service was top notch and so friendly and welcoming! Nice atmosphere as well with outdoor seating.
March 2026
Very nice, cozy place decorated for the holidays. French music and twinkle lights. I came for restaurant week and had meatball parm for an appetizer. It was very good. For dinner I had a slow roasted pork tenderloin with sweet potatoes and string beans. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals as well.
