The pork belly was perfect. Also, a favorite was the mushroom! Duck was very enjoyable. The atmosphere was extremely unique! Wide range of custom cocktails Loved it. They make a dynamite Manhattan. We will be back! The service is top-notch
So good, so good, so good. This is such a great place. It's practically a speakeasy though. It really is just a light in an alley. I'd call ahead to make sure you know where it is. Surprise your friends with a hole in the wall gem. French-ish style fine dining with a fully stocked bar and very knowledgeable bartenders. Do not underestimate a great bartender. I just talk about what I like... And a fantastic drink shows up that I've never heard of before....
The atmosphere is amazing, especially in a cold winter evening. Loved the fire! Food is very good (we had seared scallops, beef tenderloin, onion soup, beef tartare, duck cassoulette, raspberry tart, chocolate mousse). Beef tartare was a standout. Service is wonderful!
