    Excellent food, service was superb, it was quite enough we could actually talk, not overly loud like lots of places these. The foie gras was unbelievably good, we had the price fix, walked away very satisfied. Dessert was almost too much but we had to eat it, cheesecake was great! Oh, and wine, great that we were able to taste before buying full glasses, basically can't say enough about how good it was!
