  • The absinthe experience is awesome!
  • everything was very comfortable.
  • The restaurant is a classic french bistro
  • We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful venue to transport us so expertly to another era, another place.
  • Neighborhood French bistro, rather elegant, with all the classic bistro dishes (coq au vin, steak au poivre) plus seasonal specialties like soft-shell crab.
