Made a reservation for my boyfriends birthday dinner & had a lovely evening in the salle à manger. Highlights included the morue charbonnière, tartare de thon, & le tomate. From the host to the support staff running food, to the cocktails & our server, everything was thoughtful, delicious, & efficient. Despite the fact we were too full to have dessert as planned after the côte de boeuf (it's huge), our server still brought my boyfriend un mélange de petits morceaux with a candle in it for dessert!
Lastly, they were very accommodating with my difficult dietary restriction which demands little to no salt added to dishes. I am so grateful they made it possible for me to enjoy celebrating my boyfriend on his day!
We will absolutely return.

Bravo à toute votre équipe nous avons été enchantés de notre soirée passée chez vous. L' accueil chaleureux, les conseils du sommelier, les plats cuisinés par des dieux, le décor primé & le suave service de Yves ont rendus cette aventure mémorable. Ils nous tardent déjà de la répéter.
