I booked a reservation this evening because I never tried a Michelin Star Resturant, and frankly, I never will again. $22 for a single scallop; obnoxious. The risotto that accompanied it was grainy and undercooked. (I detest a restaurant that gives an odd number of any appitizer for an even nu1mber if people....) Could have got a lb of scallops at the fish market for that price. The scallop itself was delicious, however. The Foie gras was probably the best portion and best tasting part of the meal for the price. I was filled and satisfied. The house bread was good, but the butter could have been slightly warmed to allow for easy spreading. I had two orders because, well, you get hungry after sharing a single scallop. The waitress was very nice, helpful, and polite, she's the real deal.  Now, we were all excited for the beef tenderloin (which we were told was a 6-7oz Filet Mignon). However, the Filet is a part of the tenderloin, and a tenderloin is not necessarily the Filet (which it wasn't). 4 small strips of choice cut steak (did you think you would get Prime for $56?) had a very flavorless yet tender appeal. After adding a heavy helping of salt to amplify the flavor, my wife asked me, "Do you think they have A1 steak sauce?" The potato coquette that accompanied the steak was good. I liked it, but the wife said hers was undercooked on the inside. The yellowish, greenish paste/sauce that was included on the plate reminded me of black licorice and was very unappealing to us both. The two glasses of Pinot Noir were fabulous! Helped to wash out the taste of the meal. The presentation of the meal was nice.

For almost $250 after tax and tip, however, write this post from McDonald's parking lot as we finish our frys...

The food is amazing, the service is top tier and the atmosphere is the topping on the cake. I had great dinner with friends and family.

It’s been a while I haven’t had such a good meal. If you’re two, I recommend the four course meal that includes a starter, soup, main meal,  dessert and a bottle of wine. Everything was simply perfect! Definitely coming back

What a nice restaurant. Went hear few days before the saint Valentine and they had a special menu.
All the items where really delicious. Really liked the Cod fish. The starters were also very well done (check the pictures).
The service at this restaurant is very good and they are very accommodating.
Also like the atmosphere. The chairs are very comfortable too.
Keep it up.

The service, wine suggestions and atmosphere were excellent, unfortunately I cannot say the same for the New Year Eve’s dinner, to many types of ingredients mixed into tasteless offering. The veal tartare served on raw oysters was by far the best part of my dinner.
