The menu is limited to a few items, but the food they serve is absolutely delicious. Great presentation. We were a group of 6 and everyone was pleased. I came for the experience, so to start I tried the absinthe - really tasty, and smoother then I expected at 68% alcohol. As starters, I tried to escargots, oh my, delicious. Followed by butter nut squash soup. As the main dish, I took the duck breast. All that paired with wine for each meal. Absolutely worth it and would recommend it to anyone. We came on a a Thursday night around 7pm and it was packed, so reserve ahead of time. The service was a bit slow, but worth it. The 3 course meal took about 3 hrs. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. The atmosphere is casual, relaxing, the decoration is plain, nothing special. No parking, but you can find free parking on the street.

Loved the food! Food was tasty, presentation was nice and decent. We took the 3 course meal, escargot in mushrooms covered in a cheese sauce was absolutely amazing. I recommend the butternut squash as it also has a hint of cardamom which is satisfying on a cold day. Finally the duck with a layer of fat on it served with parsnips and carrots is the cherry on top. Service was good, however due to amount of people there was alot of time that lapsed between courses. Atmosphere was fantastic. Will most definitely go again!

Great establishment. The atmosphere was nice, if a bit bland, but the music was nice. The staff was great, very attentive, pleasant and helpful. And the food was delicious with a simple, well focused menu. Only complaint was that it may have been slightly overpriced, but still an all around good experience and I would go back again. Update: on my next visit, my friend's order came out wrong which is pretty bad from such a high end establishment, but what really made me change my rating was my most recent experience. The server was rude and standoffish to me and made me feel unwelcomed in the restaurant, took away my water away when she sat me, brought out my bread rather late with just oil instead of oil and vinegar and then took ages to bring me my bill (it wasn't busy and I saw her drinking and chatting with someone at the bar after I'd asked for my bill), she then took her tip when I asked her for change without asking me how much I'd like to tip her (I didn't notice this until after I left, so I ended up tipping her twice and she definitely didn't deserve the amount that she took in the first place).

WOW this place blew me away! The scenery was beautiful! The food was spectacular! Perfect to take your SO out for a date! Will be returning to this place in the future!

Food was absolutely top notch, the atmosphere and quality of the decor was not. Giant cheap mirrors bolted to the wall just amps up the noise. That being said... I would fearlessly order any of the menu and enjoy it
