Food was fantastic. However the service was lacking a little. The young lady that served me seemed extremely unhappy. I was waiting for my car to be finished at the shop so me and my daughter stopped in for lunch, we were greeted very nicely as the hostess was very friendly, however our server just seemed very unhappy to be there. She was polite yes but she could’ve used a mood adjustment. Maybe it was because they just opened not long before we came in. I’m unsure. We’ll still be back, perhaps at a later time though as it seems that dinner service is a little better.

Pricey, mediocre food but good serviceWent with appetizers for dinner. Bruschetta: french bread well toasted on the edges but soggy in the middle. Liked the spread- yourself pesto, goat cheese and tomato spreads. French onion soup: arrived warm but not hot. Onion broth too sweet and insufficiently salted. To compensate, should have been served with melted topping of parmesan which would have provided the right touch of saltiness but was served with melted ?mozzarella? Caesar salad was acceptable with lemony dressing. But why use “white anchovy” (?) which was dry and almost tasteless without saltiness.. really need more egg yolk and the texture and saltiness of regular anchovy to have a classic tasting Caesar. Creme brûlée was grainy, bland and tasted like pudding without vanilla, rather than custard. Service very good.

Very over priced food for what was offered. Drinks had little to no alcohol (specified Patron). Table was placed at bar side exit with constant traffic going around our table throughout the night. Other local bistros have better food and better

Ok for starters their bread is amazing but my fiancé and I ordered burgers well well done, they still had pink; understandable because they taste like they’re ground up steak so they didn’t taste bad. He got fries with his and they both looked and tasted stale. McDonald’s has better fries. I ordered a side salad…got chopped up lettuce. Also, prices are insane for food, only go here if you want to drink. $72 for 2 burgers and some bread.

Ok service, mediocre food. Was happy to immediately get a seat on Saturday night. I felt I paid too much for several raviolis with very tough edges, and a red sauce that had nothing special to it. My wife's gnocchi was ok. I left feeling like maybe this is more of a drinks and hangout spot and not upscale dining like I assumed.

Very Over Priced & Under seasoned out dated food that makes no sense for the Valley in my opinion. Only 2 servers for the whole restaurant that are very overwhelmed. I ordered a French Onion Soup that had way to much Sherry making it sour and inedible and my wife ordered a Caesar that was not trimmed and needed more dressing. We asked the server where the Anchovies came from and she started laughing THIS IS NOT FINE DINING.

Very nice high end restaurant with white cloth table coverings, outdoor seating, and a nice bar. A side room that doesn’t make you feel isolated has a table that seats several people. We walked in for an early dinner(5:15) without reservations on a sat night. The hostess was kind enough to seat the two of us at a table that had been reserved for 7:00. We assured her we would be finished before then and we appreciated that she accepted our request. The service was quick and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes were creamy and the asparagus was tender. I wish we sampled dessert but we were satisfied after our main meal. Definitely worth the money.
