Phenomenal a la carte plates featuring plenty of classic French technique & flavors. Everything we had was outstanding. Not hyper seasonal but they do rotate the menu. Undoubtedly one of the best a la carte meals I've had

We walked into Joe Beef, sat down & I just didn't like the vibe. I felt like I was just a part of the bucket list crowd checking off their boxes so we immediately left & went next door to Liverpool House & sat at the bar. For me that was much better, a more intimate experience. The food was great, drinks were spot on & to top it off Michael was there to manage it all. Juliano kept our water glasses full & our eating area in order. Every interaction with Michael & Juliano was fun & had a great spirit which influenced our eating experience positively.

10 out of 10. Everything was delicious! I went with a couple foodie friends & both agreed it was the best meal they've had in a long while. Everything was done to perfection & our waiter was fantastic! Cornish Hen was the best ever & the Canadian Steak couldn't have been better!

Muy agradable pero muy ruidoso Servicio bueno. No recomiendo la "Saucisse de homard". No he encontrado el sabor del homard pero si del cerdo y de la carne de vaca. Precio muy muy elevado. 90€ por persona para 2 platos principales y 2 vasos de vino.

All around an excellent experience. The mains & desserts are incredible especially the lobster bisque spaghetti & steak, but some of the appetizers could be better. Specifically the raw tuna tarte was a little underwhelming, the french omelette with lobster was incredible!

Lovely restaurant. As you walk in, you are immediately welcomed by the smiling staff. We were seated on the outdoor "terrasse". It was a bit windy but they turned on the heaters for us. The outdoor "terrasse" is really lovely. I tried the raw tuna & foie gras as appetizers. The raw tuna was just ok. The foie gras was really good with the raisin bread. My friend had the filet mignon which was the daily special. He asked for rare & got a medium rare. For 98$, I don't think this is acceptable. I had the Sweetbreads (Ris de veau). The sauce was so salty that I couldn't finish it. For dessert, we tried the marjolaine & the sorbet "sgroppino" which were excellent. The BaBeigne au Rhum was disappointing because the doughnut was just too dry.
