Absolutely 10/10 The owner, Tony, made us feel right at home, as if we were regulars. Stopped for happy hour first - great deal - and then enjoyed a dinner after. My girlfriend who doesn’t even like sweets, was blown away by the yuzu tart - sensational. Happy hour: - Oysters (2 dozen, 10/10) - Tuna Crudo (8/10) - Steak Frites (8/10 steak, 10/10 frites) - Sancerre (10/10, especially for happy hour of $12.5 per glass) Dinner: - Escargot (9/10) - Potato Dauphine w/ Caviar (9.5/10) - Steak Tartare (9.5/10) - Sancerre (still 9.5/10) - Pinot Noir (9.5/10) Dessert: - Yuzu Tart (10/10, spectacular) - Sauternes (9.5/10) Tony was kind enough to give us complimentary champagne “to go” to finish our night - truly a wonderful host. Will absolutely come back, the question is only when this week or next! Love, Carl & Julia

Everything we ordered was great! We had delicious drinks and the food was amazing. We had the crudo, lasagne, and flatbread, and I would recommend all of these dishes.

Love everything about Beaumont - the vibe, service, and food are all fantastic! So happy to have this gem in our neighborhood. Definitely try the wine list, mussels, and burgers, but save room for the truffle pudding cake. It’s to die for!

We had a fantastic experience. The service was beyond reproach. The cocktails were excellent. We shared a wonderful seasonal squash salad. I loved my pork chop entrée (Hubby's salmon was fine, but not spectacular). We each enjoyed a glass of wine which paired very well with our dinners. We finished with a fabulous shared dessert and dessert wines. While it was by no means an inexpensive dinner, it was two hours well spent. Matt is an excellent server!
