The service is great but we were not impressed with the food. There was nothing special or unique about the food; it was bland. I feel it was overpriced for what it is.

New chef. All the dishes were full of garlic. For those of us with a garlic allergy this was a problem. Only a few dishes could be altered. Culinary-wise, never a good idea to rely heavily on one spice.

The food was in small portions but very tasty! Lovely ambiance and good service. A crying child nearby made the experience a little less enjoyable...

The restaurant staff was amazing ... friendly and engaging. The food was good (especially the Brie app) but our mains were a little dried out. Overall a great experience and team. Kudos.

Great place with outdoor dining, delicious menu options and fabulous service.

Food was good just not as tasty as it could have been. Very little use of seasoning or sauces. Caviar bites were good but the brioche was a bit stale and the presentation a bit bland for the price. Watermelon salad with raspberries and lettuces was underdressed with a nondescript dressing. Large pieces of watermelon would have worked better in cubes to incorporate into the salad. Salmon entrée was served on very bland wild rice with a small amount of a meh cauliflower sauce. Service was good if a little slow. There didn't appear to be enough waiters for all the tables. The atmosphere on the courtyard is very charming

Great experience. The waitstaff somehow picked up that it was a birthday dinner and brought out a dessert with candle. An issue with one entree was promptly fixed. Hope to visit again soon.

Terrific outdoor patio, food was good, not phenomenal (risotto was very bland), wine list was laughably over-priced (or just poorly selected -- too many bottles that were far too high priced for a neighborhood restaurant, adn 1/2 of the wines by the glass were $18 - $30, for a glass of wine; come on...)

The meal was lovely. It was for a joint birthday

It was fantastic. I got a very good feel walking in from the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. We were seated right away, drinks on our table in record time and a very knowledgeable and focused server as well as several others making sure we were wanting nothing. The food was fantastic and we will definitely be coming here again.
