    Long gaps between courses and generally slow service, which is unusual.

    This is a great Vietnamese restaurant with a French touch from Indochina in the 1930s. Their cocktails are fabulous. My favorite entree is the Bo Loc Lac

    The food is always on par with the price. Desserts are looking a bit skimpy compared to what they used to be. The room is one of the prettiest in the city.

    Thank you for joining us for lunch on Easter and for sharing your thoughts on your visit. We're very pleased for the positive marks and are grateful your recommendation! We do our best to deliver on quality all around and our greatest hope is that this can be reflected in everything we do. We've noted your marks on value and the desserts. Our pastry program has seen vast improvements over the past year or two with pastries made in-house and more thoughtfully composed dishes. We'll keep an eye on the platings, but we hope that you enjoyed some of these 'newer' dishes. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback! We'll share it all with our team. We hope to see you again soon!
