I had to return the Coq au Vin because it was undercooked. They made a new one, but it took a long time and my friends had to wait to eat. When it came back, it was grey and not edible. I couldn't even cut the meat from the leg. My friend ordered the Beef and liked it. It wasn't a busy night, but the service was very slow.

I would suggest giving this restaurant another try to a friend, as my recent experience was not up to the usual standard of this charming neighborhood spot. However, I would recommend approaching with caution. It's possible we visited on an off night or that there has been a change in ownership. The service was slow starting on a not-so-busy Saturday evening. There was a strange smell of burned plastic coming from the kitchen due to a small fire. The burrata was tough and chewy, but the roasted Brussels sprouts were delicious. My dinner companions found their meals to be average, including the specials. It seemed like there may have been a new staff trying to find their footing. Overall, I did not recognize any of the familiar servers.
