Absolutely incredible. I've eaten at some amazing places, but I believe this was the best meal I've ever had. The ambiance was also fantastic, with a live guitar player who was really talented. The escargot was world class, the filet was perfect, and the creme brulee is a must if you go. I was so impressed that I went back again two nights later. Thank You!!!!!
