Had the three course, good flavorful soup and entrée (venison was very good). East coast/chicago style formal dining which is a rarity in the bay. Long wait before and in between course. Dessert is some fried dough. 23.5% fixed fee that is not reflected in price (at least 20% service charge + 3.5% county health fee…). Not worth price and won’t be back.

Couple of dishes were borderline on being too salty, but otherwise good.The check had a pretty bad error in it, fixed when I pointed it out. Hopefully just a one-off, not a trend!

We did private dining - dishes were wonderful and timed so all could eat together. Everyone loved their selections and what they could taste from others as well. Service was fantastic as one would hope for.Dietary restrictions: The chef and staff were attentive to all the dietary limits for our group including one person that was vegetarian.

One of my best restaurants experiences, everyone is smiling and gentle, food is perfect and beautiful which is always important and you can feel fresh products cooked with pleasure and love. Calm and cozy outdoor seating area with heaters help to enjoy the weather and gorgeous food. They also have attractive list of nice desserts, I personally recommend this one on the photo with gold decoration. You can also enjoy cozy ambiance inside with fireplace and romantic light. Highly recommend that place for it’s beautiful and good food, talented people and great location.

As expected from a Michelin restaurant, the food was harmonious with the ingredients and sauce, not salty and delicious. Classic flavors that stick to the basics rather than unusual dishes. The service was great and the quantity was larger than expected. This is a Michelin restaurant where there is no reason not to eat an aperitif, amuse bouche, and a two-course lunch priced at $59. However, the wine corkage price was high and the wine list was good, but it was expensive, but it was understandable considering the price of the meal. I plan to go again next time for the dinner course. It was a very pleasant meal!

The first and second courses are good. Steak was done very well. Dessert options are not quite good. Too sweet and mostly chocolate options. Not good that they charge about $10 for each bottle of still water.

This was our first time at any Michelin Star restaurant, and it really did not disappoint. The food was incredible for all of the 7 courses, with each dish plated to perfection and perfectly balanced. This was expected for us for a restaurant of this caliber; however, the service really blew us away. All of the staff had an intense eye for perfection, from ironing the tablecloths between each guest to refilling the missing two sips of a water glass, all without being intrusive in the least. Our waiter, Jose, was even more impressive, with a wonderfully outgoing and helpful personality. From cocktail recommendations to niche stories on the origins of different components, he really enhanced the experience. In short, the whole dining experience was impeccable.
As always the quality of food is excellent and always consistent. Staff was friendly and attentive. However, this time the service did not meet expectations. We were surprised by a few things. 1. Coats were not asked to be hung 2. Bread service where a selection was not passed around like before but it was to some guests 3. We received the check without being asked if we would like to have coffee or tea to end dinner. 4. Lastly, we felt just a tad rushed in the courses coming out and clearing of plates. There is a high level of service and experience we expect from the Village Pub and this time it did not meet that level compared to past visits.

Great food, excellent atmosphere and lovely cocktails. Price is commensurate with the quality, with the the place full because of said quality of the establishment. Bookings are effectively mandatory, though there are some seats at the bar that you can possibly access.

Great food, great setting for a special occasion. Unfortunately, its very pricey and prex-fixe so be ready for multiple courses and a pretty steep bill, but if its a special occasion its hard to beat the food and vibe.

This place is a gem, a bit off the beaten track, with a wonderful menu. Perfect for special clients or friends, expensive but great value considering the quality of food and service. The menu changes, so check ahead but everything I've had, every tine, has been wonderful. DON'T forget to leave a little room for beignets!!!

Our service, and wait staff were excellent, the cocktails were excellent, the food was excellent, the deserts were excellent, the experience was excellent! Just costly by the time you finished your evening. With that said, a beautiful experience!
