DaniellePerfect place to celebrate your birthday! The waiter was wonderful, so attentive, funny, and amiable. The food was marvelous. The red and yellow beets paired perfectly with greens and Roquefort cream. The escargot was tasty, and the leftover sauce was divine with bread. I highly recommend the crispy duck, which took me back to Paris, and la vie en rose cocktails. The scallops were perfectly tender over squash puree and tasty lentils. Pair the mousse with the raspberry sauce, but it's so decadent, you'll want to share it with at least three people. Love the gold flakes on the raspberries. It helps to have a cute waiter sing Happy Birthday to you as well.
Selin OzgulerOne of the best brunch spots I've been to! The food was incredible, and the portions were very generous. I had the Eggs Benedict, and my friend had the salmon. Both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! Be sure to make a reservation before you go.
Mari VicenteA beautiful place, especially during Christmas time. The huge tree and festive lights create a magical atmosphere. The food is fantastic, with great wine selections and cocktails. Service is excellent. I highly recommend the beef bourguignon—it’s a must-try!
Alejandra ContrerasBeautiful restaurant and friendly staff. Walked in and was immediately placed at a table.
