We shared the octopus and escargot to start followed by the risotto and beef tenderloin with a half bottle of Mascato d'Asti. Everything was fantastic including the service

We really loved escargot, lobster entree, and ratatouille as a side dish. Even the soufflet and sorbet were very delicious! We would love to come back.

Great service, attentive, warm, knowledgeable wait staff. I love the ambiance, elegant and upscale but understated. The food is always perfectly prepared and beautifully presented.

Best food ever - beautifully served with no pretension. Very French, in that true French cuisine evolves and uses the freshest ingredients.

Upscale-ish. Nice old world atmosphere. Great service. Disappointed with many guests in hoodies and flannel. No need for prom wear but a dress shirt perhaps?

Amazing creme brulee. A great place for dessert and drink pairings. Though one of the waiters was horribly condescending

This is the former Roger Sherman restaurant. It's now has French cuisine & has become very expensive! So much for its namesake who signed the Declaration of Independance!

Foie Gras was awsome. As well as the trout and pato a la naranja

The sea scallops app is amazing. Great staff and a perfect special dinner kind of place.

Been here 50+ times
Let your waiters or the sommelier pair your courses with a cocktail, beer, or wine by the glass. The pairings are magnificent, you won't be let down.

Literally the best steak I've ever had in my life. More than worth the splurge. Can't wait to go back.

Awesome food. Go here for lunch if you don't want to spend a fortune on dinner.

We brought a Frenchwoman here, and she adored the Entrecôte Béarnaise (New York Strip).
