Very expensive but the food was fantastic. Highlights were the fois gras and pomegranate, the aged sirloin, the soft polenta, and the warm chocolate cake.

Everything was amazing! I had an oysters, bacon and roasted turnips. Of course, none of that is on the menu anymore! So just enjoy what is delish and in season, you won't be disappointed.

Short rib, period. Amazing wine list

Valerie B.

Amazing everything! Cannot go wrong!
