Overall, the experience was positive but there were little disappointments along the way. Our waiter was slow (we were the only table in the restaurant when we arrived) and a bit abrasive but I think he meant well. The entrees were very good—we had the short ribs and the salmon which I would highly recommend. The exception was the Mediterranean salad which was fresh and had interesting ingredients, but the dressing was very bland. We ordered the least expensive bottle of wine, a pinot noir, which was exceptional and a great value as we were there on a Tuesday when a bottle of wine is half price. We'll return again and would recommend the restaurant to others.

We went for Valentine's Day and had an amazing experience! The food was outstanding and wine was incredible! I had the tenderloin frites and my husband had the short ribs. They were the best we can remember! The pairing with the Charles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon was perfect! The service is excellent! It was an all around great Valentine's Day dinner! We can't wait to go back!

This was our second visit. The first was great. The second a disappointment. The menu had changed a great deal. The food was way too salty. The waiter called me "dear" twice and hovered too much except when we were ready for him and he disappeared for a while.

We went as a family of 5 for New Years Eve. Everyone enjoyed their entree. Wine recommended and purchased was pricey, but we all enjoyed it. Would go back.
