It has been over 10 years my wife and I had been to this restaurant. We enjoyed it then. I am sure the quality of service and food has not changed. Farm to table as I recall were quite good.

Had a pretty nice dinner here with very good service. The octopus and scallop appetizers were delicious. Scallops were perfectly seared, and were the star of my dinner. Both the sole and the lamb were cooked well, however, I prefer my lamb ribs to be chopped individually instead of doubles. It is easier to eat. The fish had a few bones in it which was unfortunate, but the risotto was really flavorful and very well cooked. The crème brûlée didn't have a crunchy sugarcoating, it was kind of soggy. The coconut cake was not something to write home about. Otherwise a really decent meal and a nice ambience. It would have been a little nicer if the bread served was warm- instead my focaccia piece was cold, and a little stale/hard. If the butter were a little closer to room temp it would be spreadable. Small touches make a big difference.

We took takeout recently and it was pretty good. I have tried different items over the years on the menu and it's always been pretty good. This time we tried the short rib tortellini which was very good. The grilled octopus was also very good. The meatballs are pretty good, not sure what cheese is on them. The Berkshire pork chop was very tasty, as was the Halibut. I kind of wish the my had some French Bistro staple items on the menu all the time like French Onion Soup, Steak Frites, Sole Meunière, Beef Bourguignon, etc. Just an idea.

We came on a Saturday night. There is a pre fixe menu in which you can do the sampling for a set price or choose from the menu an appetizer, entree and dessert pre fixe. My husband did the sampling with wine pairing. It was phenomenal. The food was perfect, but even more perfect was the service. This restaurant had the most attentive service my husband and I have experienced in a really long time. Our sparkling water glasses were never empty, bread was provided as needed, the wait staff checked on us frequently between each course. Everyone on staff seemed to work as a team. Superb! We will definitely be back! Pictures attached are of the salmon with quinoa dish that was on the sampling menu and the filet mignon.

The quality of food here is unbeatable. Every dish has so many layers of flavor and each sauce is delicately prepared. The lamb and the steak are so finely seared, perfectly prepared to the medium rare we like. I loved the lobster bisque and the scallops. Came here on my birthday and even though they didn't do wine pairing dinner that day, the manager did his own wine pairing for me. Will always remember their superb customer service!

This restaurant was very nice, elegant and perfect for special occasion. People sat really close to each other so we could overhear a lot of conversations, it's definitely an intimate setting. I enjoyed the food, it was good it could've used a little bit more seasonings but overall they used fresh ingredients and used that to their advantage for natural flavor in most things they used. The service was great and the food came out really fast which I was happy with! They brought me a scoop of ice cream with a candle in a espressso cup which was also a sweet touch. Overall good, solid place. Definitely should try if you haven't been for a special someone or a nice night out!
