The establishment prepares various steak cuts utilizing specialized grilling techniques to ensure consistent texture and charred exteriors. Beyond the meat offerings, the menu incorporates a diverse array of fish and shellfish prepared with classic French-inspired techniques that prioritize natural ingredients.

This venue maintains a commitment to ingredient-driven plates that highlight the technical precision required for effective open-fire cooking and traditional preparation methods.

Service was very good, hard to reach your waitress at times. But it was a very busy evening. Food was on the smaller side, but very delicious. The atmosphere was a bit loud, & the seating too close to other tables.

Went for the Cornish Hen & got St.Hubert style chicken instead... unfortunate downgrade from what this used to be.
