This is the more expensive dining room, where they also have the Brasserie (bar or a communal table ) to order a la carte or just have drinks. The Tasting Room next door is a more affordable option.

The Bitches say: A-. Bravo, Brabo. A great place to celebrate an occasion or catch up with parents in town . The upscale , but not stuffy space is home to some of the most comfortable chairs . Read more

Both food and service are superb. Excellent crafted wine menu . The food presentation is very well accomplished. Certainly worth visiting on a special night.

Had an awesome dinner with good friends. Try the mussel soup with Belgian frites and the triple layer chocolate hazelnut mouse dessert ! Also You can't make a mistake on the entrees...

Laura Wong

Restaurant and bar are two separate venues, make sure to check which one you go into as the menus arent the same, great food though! Mussles are great!

Alexandra Ma

Agnolotti with lemon and ricotta was amazing. Be sure to get the ribeye medium rare as well

The lemon poppy seed waffle dessert is to die for - I have a sweet tooth and this satisfies without being overly heavy.

Jane Wall

Ask for the foie gras appetizer and get the sommelier to suggest an accompanying wine !

Veal burger is incredible - and half price at the bar until 6:30.

Outdoor seating is great for kids because they can play by the fountain .

Mussles as an appitizer for the table. Worth it. Probably 30 plus pom frites . A meal in itself.

Service was really hit-or-miss tonight. I felt forgotten most of the dinner service.

The Black Diamond cocktail is legit.
