Most Helpful Review

It was a splendid delightful experience to say the least. My wife had an egg white omelette that was delicately prepared with a beautiful presentation. I chose the eggs benedict and was more than impressed. The coffee was hot / the orange juice was perfect . The pastry breadbasket was "fresh" with quite large assortment of croissants, pastries and bread. The service was exemplary -attentive but not overbearing / table execution excellent. The check was approximately $35 (not including gratuity.) All portions including the beverage were satisfying. Well worth the money ! We will return!

  • Located in the Sofitel, the location is convenient and beautiful. I went there with a couple of friends to experience the prefix menu, which the restaurant had discontinued (30 under $30). I ended up ordering the braised beef short rib, it was dry and tasteless. Not recommended for the price I paid.

  • Great croissants. Heavenly waffles and French toast. Freshly made orange juice. Coffee could be better though. It's delightful to start the day there.

  • The informal but still elegant ambience and the beautiful presentation of the plates make this a cheerful place to dine. The food is excellent and the service, friendly polite and happy. The food was excellent and the good wine list by the glass makes it easy and pleasurable to pair wine and food. The red snapper sashimi is a little painting served in a dish, beautiful and lots of flavors in it.

  • Prix fixe lunch menu is an excellent cost/quality ratio.
    And last but not least, they serve very good home made French bread.
    It's worth it+++++

    Dinner here was fantastic. The service was extremely helpful, surprisingly friendly, and unobtrusive. The fluke crudo was tasty and the black cod for my entree was delicious, cooked perfectly just under medium. I highly recommend this place.
