From the moment you walk in the front door, you’re transported to another time. It’s so quaint with an old world aesthetic; from the striped French bistro ceiling, to the flowered courtyard. Service was fantastic. Wait staff were quick to pickup any used tableware, but not overbearing. The food is quality, fresh and overall outstanding. Would be a wonderful place to take out of town guests as it’s not a run of the mill, chain type restaurant.

Enjoyed the restaurant and food. Everything is handmade and tasted great. Kids enjoyed their meal as well as the adults. Had the lobster, shrimp and scallop linguine which was very good. Had the crab cakes for an appetizer which was fantastic.

Absolutely wonderful. From the minute you walk in-has a great vibe, look, and character. Tables spaced out nicely while we are still in Covid protocol dining-had warm and attractive rooms for dining. From jump street this place is superb. Ample parking, great history--only to be followed up with excellent service, timing, meal, food prep... Everything was perfect temperature and came out w/ideal timing. The steak, potatoes were excellent with ginger carrots and green beans-was absolutely delicious. Steak was tender and perfectly med rare. Portions were spot on, too. The shrimp and grits to start--I must say, maybe the shrimp was a tad overcooked, but tasty. Grits were awesome/perfect with the cheese and seasoning. The desserts are to die for. I could not resist--save room for something!! My waiter, Mike, was stellar! Impeccable service and timing with my app, salad, meal, drinks....great energy and timing, yet not hovering. One of the best meals and service I have had in a long time--This place is a must visit! In the area from out of town 4/23 and so glad this place is/was open! Again, stellar food, perfectly cooked with excellent service!

Delicious! Quaint, cozy, and welcoming with friendly staff and a menu with something for everyone. Making a selection was difficult because there were so many tempting options. I can say now, it's tough to go wrong. The prices are all reasonable, the portions are just right, everything came out perfection and I will be back the next time I come to town!

Food was absolutely delicious. Service was a little slow but our server seemed to just be oversat... it got better as the restaurant cleared out. Will definitely be back.

Can't stop raving about the food, ambiance, service and overall spectacular experience. We had lamb, scallops, spinich crepes and a delicious soup of the day..lemon artichoke. SO YUMMY! Was so full but had to have dessert of the day..chocolate chip mint cheesecake with hot fudge sauce on the side. This place is a must go to when in the neighborhood. You Will NOT be sorry.😄

I had went here a few days ago for my birthday. If you are dining here you are dining because you enjoy the taste and flavor of food. The food is fresh and the taste of many dishes are savory and can taste individual ingredients that make up the dish. I went a head and splurged on the rack of lamb special and for dessert I had the chocolate paradise. They seasonally rotate out menu items and offer specials for your eating palate. The atmosphere is a mixture of antiques and antique architecture. I've noticed one part of the restaurant has a courtyard you can use to make you feel like you are in New Orleans and escape Ohio for a moment. I would suggest that if you are to dine here take a look at the take out menu, to take a quiche or a crepe home for later. Just make sure when you get home to set these pretty dishes up on the good china they deserve to be served on.
