Wonderful service! Brian T really took care of us! Food was amazing! The Trout was a show stopper! The Basque cake was soo decadent!

The food is amazing. This coconut pecan cake is a Janes Beard award winner. So good. Every dish was perfect. At the bar you can get fresh boiled eggs from the chefs farm.

Let me start by saying this restaurant is owned by a James Beard award winner. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Lunch is just as special as dinner, in a very French way. The menu is French, and literally nothing you could order could go wrong. I recommend the trout and the escargot. My top favorite cocktails are the aviation and the French blonde. Both will pair perfectly, with so many of the dishes. Don’t skip on desert at this place! Parking: Parking is difficult. Just valet
