Chapter one is terrific! We go monthly and the wait staff are all amazing, the food is delicious, and the patio is very relaxing. If you sit inside, you can enjoy beautiful views of the green. I highly recommend a stop here.

This place has had serious ups and downs. Constant employee and manager turnover. Didn’t go here for almost 2 years! Finally was convinced to give it another try. Apps were fabulous! Main courses were too expensive for what you get. The Scallop Risotto had only 3 scallops! Unacceptable! The bolognese had minimal meat! Just not satisfactory. The drinks were fun! Very expensive for what u get. Still need to improve.

Very disappointed. I had the steak and egg brunch. I ordered the steak medium rare. IT came burnt and dry. My eggs were ordered over medium.

Will never return. Waited 25 minutes for water. 35 minutes for drinks. Our mussels were served uncooked, I’m fearful of food poisoning. I sent them back but they were still on my check. Sébastien, our server, was excellent. As was Robin, the bartender. My dirty martini was delectable. The yellow fin tuna was good, but my filet was tasteless. Zero flavor. They served it without the shrimp on top, apparently the chef forgot it. Nothing was seasoned properly. The manager knew of these issues and did not address them. $240 for subpar food that was not served hot, unproperly seasoned and cooked, while being served with missing items. Never again. Extremely disappointing.

Our server, Scott G. spoiled how good this restaurant could have been. The food and atmosphere was excellent, but he could not get our drink orders right to save his life. Four separate drink orders were brought out incorrectly. AND, instead of offering to make it right, he wanted us to try the drinks we did not order and keep them in place of the ones we actually ordered.

Went for brunch and so happy I did! Sat in the heated patio which is an oasis. Incredibly warm and secluded. Great to have a lunch meeting or romantic brunch. Our server was just as fabulous as the food!

Edit: after emailing with the manager we were invited to come back. Everyone was hesitant initially and a couple of people declined. A group of 6 of us decided to take a chance.
