Al QayoomSeptember 30, 2017We 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
RachelSeptember 3, 2016We 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.
- Maria GarrigaDecember 6, 2016Great service, attentive, warm, knowledgeable wait staff. I love the ambiance, elegant and upscale but understated. The food is always perfectly prepared and beautifully presented.
Charlotte MurphyNovember 23, 2016Best food ever - beautifully served with no pretension. Very French, in that true French cuisine evolves and uses the freshest ingredients.
Mark SlobbeNovember 6, 2018Upscale-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?- Marcie TranNovember 7, 2015Amazing creme brulee. A great place for dessert and drink pairings. Though one of the waiters was horribly condescending
AlexJune 8, 2014This 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!
- Charles G.December 4, 2015Excellent lobster and escargots! Prices are reasonable and service is above average.
Randall SullivanNovember 17, 2013The sea scallops app is amazing. Great staff and a perfect special dinner kind of place.
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.- Kyle KnappFebruary 22, 2012Literally the best steak I've ever had in my life. More than worth the splurge. Can't wait to go back.
Nick DSeptember 22, 2011Awesome food. Go here for lunch if you don't want to spend a fortune on dinner.
Adam AbbateAugust 27, 2010We brought a Frenchwoman here, and she adored the Entrecôte Béarnaise (New York Strip).
