I haven’t tasted such rich taste in a very long time like here. The foie was delicately delicious. I enjoyed every minute eating here. Desserts were incredibly not too sweet, just right. Service impeccable. Definitely a place to go back with so many dishes I want to try.

What a delightful meal and excellent service. We came in on a quiet mid week evening. Had the fois salad, morels, and duck to share. Everything was perfect. It felt classic and new in the same breath. The fois was extremely delicate, the morels rich: the sauce seemed like a historic recipe. The duck was cooked to perfection and the service kind and attentive. The restaurant is featured in the Michelin guide. Prices were great for incredible quality. We will be back next time we visit for sure!
