A well decorated and warm restuarant! During my visit it was pretty busy, and it can get noisy depending on who you’re sitting beside, so just keep that in mind if you’re going on a date or something like that. Our server was nice and though it was busy, she did her best to serve us as soon as possible! The food took a bit longer than normal to come (almost 2 hours for 3 courses), but keep in mind this was a Friday night. Sadly I found the the app and main too salty. First, the appetizer (escargots) came in a savoury sauce that was over-salted. The mushrooms in this dish were bland and helped somewhat offset the taste-but it wasn’t enough. The duck confit I got was the saltiest bird i’ve ever tasted. Usually the meat is salty and seasoned on the outside/skin, and the inside is milder. However, with this confit, I was overwhelmed by the insanely salty taste present throughout the whole leg. Although there was a sweet cranberry sauce and some mild vegetables as sides, these were not enough to balance it out. Some parts of the dishes were good, but I don’t know how to feel about the overall dining experience. Not sure if I will return.

Very good! I loved the ambiance and service. Food was great but a bit salty. I really enjoyed the pasta. Will be coming back.

We went there for an experience diner. At arrival, we are happily surprised to be welcome by a fully bilingual team!!!! We were able to live our whole experience in French (our first language) and it mades it so much more personal and enjoyable!!! Happy with everything we both order. Everything from drinks to entries to dessert was perfect. The drunken walnut is a fantastic drink.
