    Not the same quality. I ordered steak frites. The hanger steak was tough. The fries were pale and limp, totally missed the second fry. So sad.

    The meal was lovely. The service was excellent, and the ambience was top notch. It’s hard to beat a view of Lake Michigan while enjoying a wonderful meal with top-notch service.

    I ordered the Ribeye medium and it came out medium well to well done. Lacked much flavor. My fiancé had the cherry glazed chicken and it was amazing. I’ve tried the tenderloin medallions at a prior visit and it was outstanding.

    The salad lattice was good. The french onion soup was just so so and we didn't finish it. We both ordered the coq au vin but it was overcooked & dry. There were no onions in the coq au vin like there traditionally is. The green beans were excellent. The wine recommended was very good and a good match for the meal. Our waitress was very busy with a table of 12 next to us, so service suffered. We asked for a second slice of bread but it never arrived. We had to ask for water & coffee refills and another waiter helped us out. The flourless chocolate cake was excellent. The restaurant was very noisy.

    Everything was incredible! The servers were so kind and welcoming and really made our experience special, without being pretentious in the slightest. It was my fiancé’s birthday and they went above and beyond to make it special. We had the roquefort salad, filet de boeuf, steak frites, and the chocolate mousse with banana ice cream. My fiancée loved the fig manhattan and the bartender made me a cosmo mocktail that was divine!
