    Here’s a clearer and more concise version: The meal was delightful from start to finish. We began with the escargot and pain au lait—both featuring incredible breads. The pain au lait was melt-in-your-mouth, while the escargot and its sauce were exceptional. For mains, we had the boeuf bourguignon and tournedos rossini. Both were delicious, but the tournedos rossini was the standout. The flavors were extraordinary, with foie gras on top, a delicate brioche underneath, and a perfectly cooked filet mignon in the center. Our server, who was of French origin, was attentive, warm, and lovely, adding a really nice experience. The ambience was gorgeous, and everything about the evening was lovely. A truly memorable experience! We didn’t go to the speakeasy afterwards because we were too full and had a snowy drive ahead of us, but look forward to trying it in the future!

    Great food - we had wagyu meatballs, mushroom soup, shrimp avocado salad as appetizers & black cod, lobster & shrimp pasta special & organic salmon as entrées. Everything was excellent. We ended with pavlova & key lime pie with Spanish coffee. Busy & noisy restaurant.

    A 5* experience! We enjoyed the holiday ambience, so much positive energy, the service was absolutely sublime! We started with oysters and crudo; followed by gluten free penne ala vodka.. This was a very seriously tasty gluten free pasta, strongly recommend.. Branzino was so tender with a crispy skin; there is some elegant lightness to this dish, a must try.. Side grilled mushrooms and broccolini are insane! Thank Zia and the team, Happy Holidays!
