Used to be a Favorite but Going Downhill

This place used to be a favorite of mine. Really nice atmosphere, great wine list (and generous pours I might add), and really nice owner and staff. However the last few times I came here it was going downhill.

My last meal here was a steak, which I ordered medium rare and was dropped in front of me essentially raw. Sent it back and was surprised to get it again and still have it be way too rare. Also wasn't pleased with how the situation was handled by staff including the chef who couldn't cook a piece of meat. I was treated like a nuisance instead of as a customer who clearly didn't receive what he ordered. My girlfriend's food also had taken a turn for the worse.

Have taken a break from this restaurant but plan to return one day. Hopefully some of the recent issues have been addressed.

Fresh Food and Incredible

by kosgood

My friend and I had the privlege of eating dinner there on a recent Saturday. Wow! Just incredible! The service was top notch. The decor was lovely and relaxing. The food was TO DIE FOR. I have never had items like that. Fresh, authentic ingredients prepared with great care. Couldn't say one bad thing. Atmosphere was good, wine list is excellent, and the staff is superb. Will definitely come here again! .

Pros: fresh food,relaxing ambiance

Was just here last week and the food was amazing. I had the Hanger steak. The meat was tender, mixed field greens covered in this light and sweet. The deserts are out of this world!! I tried a little of everyone?s main course all well worth the price!

I love French food and the decor of the place was artsy yet elegant. Decor is a great atmosphere to eat by! I loved it. Would definitely come back to eat here-
