Nice, modern renovation of the venerable English Room brings this into the 21st century in a lovely way. Good energy without being too loud and great service are the high points. Onion soup was a standout, but brasserie classics were missing, in my opinion. I'd go again but the food felt uneven.

Delicious dinner! Missed delivering a 1st course salad, but removed from the tab. Love the renovated decor!

Really enjoyable. Food was good and enjoyed by all guests. Service was outstanding. We all agreed we will book more often.
