Executive chef Claude Le Thoic is the real man behind the kitchen & how he executed everything wonderfully here! Service is impeccable here & I love how much space between tables! 66 seats, velvety, colors from baby blue to purple by seasons! My 3rd trip here, but my parents first & they loved every moment of it! It's definitely the place to celebrate my folks anniversary!
