Wow this was an amazing dining experience. José was our server but the service is really a team effort. The service was my personal favorite: we had full water glasses and always had what we needed without anyone hovering. The food was incredible - classic French food cooked perfectly. I think I liked the house salad better than my entree even though my entree (salmon) was delicious. The house salad was lightly dressed and came with a goat cheese crouton. Dessert and coffee were also delicious. Highly recommend.

Everything was good except for the steak my husband ordered. He ordered it medium and it was pretty gummy. The seafood dish I ordered was fantastic though. Server keeps forgetting stuff. Overall, good experience in a cozy, warm setting.
