Based on the good reviews on Citysearch I was very excited to give a try on this restaurant. I made my reservation 2 months in advance for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, the whole experience was a big letdown. The place is indeed small and cozy, but nothing else. I spent US $ 111 on the standard menu for the day (only my wife and I) expecting nothing but awesome food. We had lobster soup as appetizer. Very good. From this point on was downhill. I picked fish and my wife chicken (with fancy names). Both side courses were identical (?!): green beens and dirty rice. Green beans in a French dish? Fish was just OK, but the chicken was bland. Not gourmet food, that's for sure. Rice was undercooked and some of the green beans were burnt, compromising the flavor of both dishes. I told the manager in charge about it, but he looked bored to death while listening to me. By the way, the service was painfully slow. We picked peach cobbler as dessert (another "classic" of french cuisine - ha ha) and the crust was inedible. I could seal bathroom floor tile with it... Last, but not least, the kitchen wooden oven was flooding the restaurant with smoke at the point we left the place wearing smelly clothes (expensive ones, after all it was Valentine's).
I wish I have a Time Machine. Of course, I'll never come back.
