What people say

"Very delicious experience. Came for the duck and olives, and it did not disappoint! We started with the pate en croute and escargot, both to share, and we’d order them both again. After that, it was on to the main event. The duck was exceptionally cooked and the olives were a delicious (and fun!) combination. Great experience overall, and would be back! By the way, the sommelier was incredibly kind and knowledgeable…really appreciated her hospitality!"
