Noura S.July 14, 2016From my personal experience.. The food tastes fine!! It is more of how artsy the plates are which makes it an upscale "Resto"
Liz MackNovember 26, 2014Everything is incredible here! Three course pre-fix is a lot of food, but you'll enjoy every second.
Jon B.November 27, 2016Do the tasting menu with full wine pairings. If you cannot afford the full experience, then don't bother doing a la carte

EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010A classic French restaurant at its best, its famous chef adds unusual twists and influences to traditional techniques. If a full-course meal isn't your style, dine a la carte in the lounge.
