I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! We have been twice before but it had been a while, so my husband took me here last night for a belated Valentine's day dinner. I forgot how welcomed you feel here - we were welcomed by the owner confirming our reservation via our last name as soon as we walked in, and then he called my husband by his first name for the rest of the night (since he was the one who made the reservation). Just a small detail that goes a long way. We asked for two glasses of the house red, and he brought something over and said, "This isn't the house red but it'll pair a lot better with the food you've ordered." No where else has done this. When we were finished and waiting for the bill, we started putting our scarves on and getting ready because we didn't realize the time and had somewhere else to be. He brought over some port on the house while we waited for the check. Again, the little things go a long way, and are so appreciated. The service is amazing, the menu is artfully curated and delicious, and the establishment is romantic yet lively. We admire the passion and attention to detail the owner brings to this place. We overheard him tell some walk-ins that he was booked for the evening, so I highly recommend reservations. I just can't wait to...

For drinks, we have couple wines and drinks it’s actually pretty good, sadly it’s not tons of options on the menu for the drinks. Menus it’s actually not big but definitely have something good on there. The dishes we have it’s really good, nice flavor, and right amount.
The most surprised part is the dessert! Holy moly. The crepes are actually made by the owner in the bar you can actually see it and smells it and it turns out totally different than I expected. I thought it would be really sweet or so but actually it’s not. Nice layer with the lemon sauce inside, however it’s not sour, really great! And the clafoute are obviously great! It’s not sweet and have some of the milky taste but not heavy at all!
Come on friends. Come...
