We went, it was packed, it was very very good. Bought a couple cases of wine in a weak moment. I was glad to see such a nice turnout. The food was simple but well executed.

We enjoyed it as well. We took two clients from Chicago and they loved it. The wines were delicious and reasonable, just as we found in our latest trip to France last month. We ordered a case at a great price. I asked for a lamb substitution and was served a thick, delicious grouper. My waiter even subbed a special wine for the course. We were quite happy with this festive and fun dinner. Merci!
