We flew in from New York to attend a family service and stayed at the hotel for one night, stopped in for a bite around 9pm. Busy Friday night so service was slow, but the food was unexpectedly delicious, favorable, with thoughtful presentation. Between the two of us, we had the beef carpaccio, scallop with fried palenta and lobster risotto. The scallop and lobster risotto are 5-star dishes in execution. Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff. I wish it wasn't 9 pm at night and that we could eat more and that we didn't have to head back the second day. What a nice find to cap an emotional day with food that soothe heart and body.

What a glow up! The food was not only delicious, but the presentation was also great. I had wine, the salmon tartare as an entree, and the bavette de boeuf as a main dish. Both were very good and worth their price. The service was attentive without being overbearing (it was not a busy night). The ambiance was elevated without being pretentious. I had a good time!

Took the recommendation and tried the flank steak, it's probably one of the best flank steak I ever had. Service was great as well even though we don't speak any French. It was a very pleasant dining experience.

Had the breakfast during an overnight visit. The quality and presentation of the food was superior and included a variety of fresh fruits. The only negative comment is that the portion sizes were on the large side.
