Sat downstairs next to a large & loud party. Asked to be reseated & we were moved upstairs. William F. was a great server. The beef burger was one of the best I ever had. Everything about it was great. The penne pasta was fresh & delicious. The crème brûlée was big (enough for two) & tasted great. The cochon was also delicious. Highly recommend for a delicious meal.

The food was OK. We ordered the duck drumsticks for an appetizer & it was delicious. I had the seafood linguine & asked for the cheese. I did not know it was going to be smothered & baked with the cheese. It made the whole dish too rich & it over powered everything. My husband had the steak & that was well done, however everything else on his plate was underwhelming. The service was friendly but non-existent. We were sat at the back & forgotten about. Out food took a long time to come out & when it did it was disappointing. Overall my experience wasn't horrible, but I definitely expected more from this place.

Food was good. Service was poor. We sat outside & felt like we were forgotten. It was NOT busy. Server failed to offer drink refills until the end of our meal. She didnt check in with us after we received our meal to make sure everything was satisfactory. Gratuity was given accordingly. Hopefully the staff will learn from this.
