OUTSTANDING in every way! Both my friend and I were delighted by our entire experience here.

- We were welcomed warmly.
- Thumbs up on the ambiance. Not too dark, nor too light. Classy but not pretentious!
- The space is comfortable, especially where we sat (big comfy booth with just one other couple near us)
- The live band (jazz quartet) was great... quite talented, and playing at the perfect volume. My friend and I never had to shout, despite sitting pretty close to the band.
- AND THE FOOD... WOW THE FOOD! Super-delicious, generous portions.
- Also, some of the tastiest cocktails I've had dining out!
- And a helpful, awesome server. Just the right amount of presence and friendliness; always there when we needed her, but never clingy or obtrusive. When we finished our meal and she gave us the bill, she thoughtfully encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted.

Oh, and for the food & drink specifics, here's what we had:
- Complimentary French bread with perfectly soft butter.
- Delicious foie gras with huckleberry with the most amazing crisp (toasted?) bread!
- Crispy duck with lentils (and I usually don't even like lentils!). So flavorful and tender!
- French onion soup (my friend got the biggest smile on her face when she tried this)
- Escargot in a crispy dough thing. I generally hate snails and even I enjoyed this dish.
- Two cocktails for each of us, but the only name I remember was the "Equinox" (which was probably the fav of mine and my friend anyway).

My only regret is that I wish we had had room for dessert.

We'll be back for sure!
