    Absolutely beautiful restaurant with cozy vibes. Really good food and good value for a NYE pre-fix meal w/ glass of champagne included! Excellent by the glass wine selection. Was exactly what I was hoping for

    Overall it was a good experience for the new year eve dinner. Only bug was what we ordered first was finally out of stock and we had to review both entrées and desserts choices last minute. Management has been comprehensive and alternative dishes were very good. Just a bit disappointed that we were not informed when ordering especially when you travel the DMV because you are looking for specific dishes.

    Went for New years eve fixed price. The food was mediocre at best. The service excellent, the restaurant is lovely. It was way over priced-pushed up because it was new years, and the menu was nothing original or special in any way. I know people seem too enjoy the food here overall, but we do not think it is particularly upscale in any way.

    The food was really good. Nothing exceptional but really good. My husband had the Boeuf Bourguignon and gave it a B+. I had the Strip Au Poivre and I was a little disappointed with the “green peppercorn sauce”. The sauce was not made with cream (which is usually the traditional way). The cookie on top of the Crème Brûlée was unnecessary and didn’t taste good. The dessert would have been better served with a strawberry on top and no cookie. Service was great and our waitress was very polite and pleasant. The best part of dinner was the ambiance. It is a beautiful building!

    This was our third visit since my birthday on October 23, 2024 bringing friends to Josephine and I'll be there in two weeks with a friend for lunch. Fabulous food, ambience, decor, old world charm, great service, and extremely affordable. It's my new favorite in Old Town.
