Amazing dinner made even better with service from Helen. She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal and that all needs were met despite walking in around closing. Not once did my dad or I feel rushed her service made the amazing food taste even better, looking forward to coming again!

We ordered the French Onion soup, and it was the very best we ever had. Ricardo was superb and very helpful. He explained everything and was very attentive to our order. We also had the escargot and the branzini, and both were outstanding. The escargot was done to perfection, and the spinach added a nice touch of flavor. The branzini was scrumptious, especially since I had never had this fish before. An extra added touch was there were no bones. I hate having to deal with bones! So, that was a huge added plus to the meal. It is well worth the price for the meal and they look after your every need. For dessert, we had creme brulee, which was the crowning touch for our 50th anniversary. By far, it is the best restaurant we have gone to. Wish I had found this place sooner.
