Absolutely wonderful experience. Great service, nice wine selection either by the bottle or glass, the Truffle Fries were an amazing indulgence, and the steak was exceptional. We hesitated at desert but finally shared an ice-cream and I think it was homemade - terrific. Highly recommend!

Fabulous meal guided by friendly and knowledgeable server. Had the oysters on the 1/2 shell, bread, and the whole roasted fish. Each dish was fresh and delicious with special touches in well balanced sauces that highlighted the dish.
