    Excellent food and service from all the staff and especially Olivia. Great values on the happy hour menu. The featured champagne, RH Coutier, Grand Cru Ambonay, Champagne was outstanding and definitely worth the modest price. We started with the Burgundy escargot which were large, delicious and especially flavorful as was the onion soup gratinee.  Next we had a half Frenchie dip in which the beef was very tender and flavorful and enhanced by the au jus, but the baguette is definitely the star of this sandwich. Finally, we ended with the crème brûlée- perfectly prepared and an excellent end to our meal. Love the table side coat stands and the notebook with the cheque- an unexpected and surprising touch. When I’m on Coronado Island again this is definitely a repeat.

    This restaurant was a last minute choice, and was definitely the right choice. We ended up getting one of the last reservations of the night. Food was delicious and presentation was beautiful! Service was on point. Cost was worth what you pay for. Parking is hard to find, save extra time to find a spot or there is an Ace parking lot only about a block from the restaurant, that only cost us $13. Overall, great experience!!

    The bar has a picturesque design, satisfactory food offerings and wide variety of drinks. Though with intention to have girls outing we had to relocate our night to the nearby restaurant due to noise level. There were absolutely impossible to talk to person seating next to me, not to mention person within one bar chair or across the table. In order to conserve the voice and enjoy chatting with my friends, we left the bar. Staff was very friendly disregard out decision, checked us out momentarily
