    The mixture of flavors will leave you at a loss for words. Definitely recommend the crab cakes and duck. Extensive wine list. Be prepared to drop some serious money here; totally well worth it though!

    Precious bistro feel with decadent entrees (think lamb shank angliotti or prime rib 2 ways). Apertifs are fun and the wine list is well priced.

    Grass fed smashed burger and spiced fries were great here, spicy chicken sandwich was also solid. We picked up, but their garden seating is nicely set up with plenty of distance between tables

    Mushroom butternut squash crepes were wonderful! The atmosphere is intimately casual. We showed up after a long day of travel & they found a table for us with no wait. Fabulous.

    Foie gras was excellent. Pork chop over cooked. Duck breast undercooked. Good service. Nice setting and atmosphere

    Loved our meal here. Crab cakes = outstanding and the creme brulee was better than anything I've had... even in France!

    Try the Shanghai Chicken Salad - Big enough to share: Field Greens, Napa Cabbage, Snap Peas, Noodles, Sweet Peppers, Pine Nuts with Kaffir Lime Vinaigrette

    To agree with those who have posted since the change in ownership, this place is medio...meh. Order a Navarro, but do not expect greatness from the food!

    Chef/owner David LaMonica turns out local-focused, French-inflected fare, with lunchtime dishes like a hearty short-rib sandwich alongside excellent fries.

    Try the Shanghai Chicken Salad - Magnificent. And I have a new girlfriend. She's 101 years old.

    Chicken on mole sauce was delicious. House aperitif was great- not too sweet.

    Foie gras and fish with tagliatelle were great. The creme Brûlée was okay.
