We had a wonderful dinner here. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had the foie gras plater, salad, mussels and duck. The duck was especially delicious. The lemon tart dessert was delicious as well. The staff was friendly and accommodating especially our server Brianna. The interior is decorated to perfection and the chairs were so comfortable I didn’t want to get up. I live in the area and we will definitely be back. - Sal Mangano
