2/5 Stars Overpriced restaurant with bad service. - the tuna salad was a joke. The fish was cooked through - the tartare tasted like mayonnaise and too plain - the lobster was good but but with a slight taste of chlorine - the service was not attentive and forgot part of the order - long wait even for drinks We would definitely not recommend this restaurant and we would not come again.

Located in a nice neighborhood, outstanding service, reasonable prices. I wish they had more French cuisine in their menu.

Attitude is everything, and the server had nothing but nasty attitude: I could name him, but I am not here to publicly shame anyone in particular. The food is darn too salty (chicken, mussels, cheese platter, etc), and I suppose they are salty because the restaurant wants to sell drinks to make more money! Aside from being salty, they are pricey for no reason. There is absolutely nothing special about any of the food that the party of six ordered, yet they are pricey beyond the actual value. So does that high price justify the server's snooty attitude? He never came by while we were eating to ask if we were doing okay. He forgot to bring an item, and he claimed that it was to be served with our dessert, although the item was not in the dessert menu, the crepes. Shouldn't he ask us first if the crepes were ordered as a dessert? Well, it was not ordered as a dessert, okay? When I asked for suggestions, the server could not suggest anything in particular because he said, "everything is good here." He actually yelled at me as if I am causing trouble. Well, here is my humble opinion: "Nothing is worth it here, especially you!" I got ripped off with a mandatory 20 percent tip that you added on to my bill without a disclosure, in addition to 4 percent voluntary contribution for the kitchen staff, plus the extra tax in addition to the regular tax. None of these extra charges were disclosed from the beginning! Also, finally, where is my change which you never brought back? I'm going to stay far away from these thieves... One final question: does this overrated, overpriced, and overly pretentious place pull this unethical stuff to everyone?

Restaurants are already experts in safe food handling and sanitation, so many of their routine practices comply with fulfilling the commitments in the Connecticut Restaurant Promise. Here are some practices we have implemented: -Designate a single employee per shift, ideally with a clearly identifiable uniform or badge for customers to recognize to oversee safety and sanitation measures -Administer health surveys to all staff prior to shift start* -Limit table capacity in accordance with recommended guidelines -Use signage and/or floor markings to help customers comply with social distance guidelines in common areas -Hand sanitizer stations available upon entry and exit for guests and staff -Continue cleaning and sanitizing common areas and surfaces regularly -Continue cleaning and sanitizing tables and hard surfaces after every use -Menus are single-use *Looking forward to serving you, safely.
