The food here is nothing short of exceptional.

The atmosphere was wonderful in a small corner neighborhood. Not super touristy. Plus, the food was amazing!!! The mushroom appetizer was so good we had to have another and the squid was the most tender I have ever tasted. The main dishes did not disappoint either. So creative and flavorful! I am only disappointed we did not get to try dessert. Highly recommend!

Very friendly staff! The food was delicious, both tartare and the squid entree. The chocolate soufflé was a disappointment as it was overcooked so it tasted like a cake. The space was a bit too cold.

Incredible food. Well prepared, well balanced, amazing flavors. The night we went in there was a jazz trio that took the ambiance to a whole other level. In the immediate neighborhood, this is the best food. I know, as I tried over a dozen places and only reviewed this one

Very good kitchen. The foie gras with mushrooms was excellent. Sweetbreads are a rarity in restaurants, but here they prepare really deliciously, with wild mushrooms, almonds, and an excellent jus. The recommended wine pairing was also superb!

Marcela greeted us warmly and was kind enough to walk us through the delicious and innovative menu. She allowed us to sample a few wines to insure we made the right choice for our particular meal. The Filet de Boeuf was cooked as ordered, my chicken and parsley sauce with peas - flavorful. Beautiful food. We recommend the chocolate soufflé and tangy citron tart. Music selection nice, too. Bottom line? Delicious and great service. We’ll be back.
