Best meal of my life!!! My husband & I got married in 2019, & then the world fell apart, so my husband & I have been looking forward to this - a meal 5 years in the making!! It's 5 star dining 🍽 ✨️ 😍 but without the pretentiousness. It feels like you're sitting in Grandma's kitchen. ❤️ What a beautiful memory. I was overwhelmed; & it was like that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic tastes the food & is transported in his memory to his childhood. You will not regret it. Make reservations *at least* a month prior, two is better.

We were 30 mins late to our reservation & ended up sitting on the bar. So glad we did, because the waiters at the bar were extremely nice & helpful. The food was really good, we really enjoyed our night. Highly recommended

Fantastic dinner, probably the best we had on our trip. Had the seafood special appetizer with the aoli sauce which was incredible. Beef tartare was great too! Split the New York strip with the bone marrow. Cooked to perfection & so rich with the marrow also liked the side horse radish cabbage. Someone else got the lobster pasta which was outstanding! Enjoyed the lemon sorbet thoroughly!

Everything was flawless. The waiter was extremely attentive & had an incredible attention to detail without being imposing. The atmosphere was cozy, not tight or overwhelming. The food was generous & incredibly flavourful. We were stunned at the generosity! Definitely coming back & can't wait to!

Went for the 1st time. Did not enjoy the food. Beef was not tender. Overprice for what you get. Will not return. Definitely not for everyone. We were a party of 6 & we all said we would not go back. Service was reasly good & great atmosphere.

First time but definitely not the last. Split a strip steak with bone marrow, salad & tiny potatoes. A beer each & dessert. At $250 for 2 people the price was great for the quality of the food. Our service was beyond impeccable. Thanks to the staff for a wonderful dining experience.

Amazing experience all in all, food absolutely perfect & service excellent. We shared a strip steak with potatoes & marrow (the biggest piece of marrow I've ever been served!), cooked perfectly. Even the beer was perfect. I tried the babeigne au rhum for dessert. Will definitely go back to try what our table neighbors had, lobster spaghetti, which was a whole lobster on pasta! We spent 250$ for a shared meal with no appetizers, so expect to spend a little. Worth every penny!

The first time there, I loved it. Our daughter treated us. This was our Christmas present, & it was truly worth the wait!
