This was definitely a splurge for my birthday, and on my own "dime"! The food was incredible, including the duck breast with a blackberry sauce, and their sinfully good chocolate soufflé. My friend enjoyed the Barramundi entrée currently on the menu.
Of course the atmosphere/ambience is definitely French, upscale, attractive, cozy, and romantic. But no romance is needed to enjoy their delectable and beautifully presented food. The service was very good, and both of our entrées and my soufflé came out much faster than expected. They prefer that you include all menu categories you want when you first order. But if you do decide on the soufflé later, allow an extra 15 minutes.
One intriguing appetizer special was a vegetarian pate made with Lion's Mane mushrooms, which, if you've ever seen the amazing movie "Fabulous Fungi," you'll know is supposed to be very good for the brain and cognition!
But even without that, I was very cognizant of the prices, which were generally more reasonable than I expected, but definitely not in my daily budget! Your check is accompanied by two very tiny tasty macarons!
The restrooms at restaurants are important overall quality and cleanliness indicators to me, and they did not disappoint. The two gender neutral ones are clean, charmingly decorated, and all you have to do is press a button and a new clean plastic cover encircles the toilet seat!
All in, I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion. Do be prepared to walk up a somewhat steep outside wooden staircase to get in, but it's worth the climb!
