    Do not get: rabbit or pecan pie!! Do get: foie gras and/or pâté! I was completely confused when the entrees arrived zzz. Boring and bland. The appetizers were much more interesting and tasty

    The steaks are bland and the service is phony. Find another restaurant which deserves your hard earned cash.
