We ordered the Fried brussel sprouts for a starter and entrees Roasted Mary's Chicken &the steak frites. The fried brussel sprouts were delicious! Plain and simple. They come with a side of lemon aoli, which Ifound to be an odd pairing as it tasted too acidic and the two didn't go together well with the buttery brussel sprouts in myopinion. I still recommend this one. Just ignore the aoli. The Roasted chicken was delicious as well! The chicken had greatflavor and was very moist. It comes with mashed potatoes and carrots with a very savory sauce which goes perfectly witheverything in the dish! The steak frites was a mess, however. The meat had absolutely no flavor, I suspect it wasn't seasonedat all. The sauce it comes with is chimichurri, which is an odd choice being a French restaurant. Unfortunately, the sauce waslacking salt and garlic. Also, this chimichurri was heavy on the oregano. I prefer no oregano or less oregano than parsley inthe blend, since oregano is a much more aromatic herb. It was not a good chimichurri. The fries were dry and, again, tasteless.A bit stale too, like they had been made hours before we ordered them. They felt like the frozen kind. The microgreens didn't gowith the dish. It just didn't blend well with other flavors. Everything just tasted bland and the Herby notes like oregano andmicrogreens stood out too much instead of the flavor of the steak. I don't recommend this dish! The service was good and theambiance was welcoming, but unfortunately the menu felt like a gamble. You don't know which dish is going to be good, and whichis going to be odd and tasteless. Too inconsistent. Also, the prices are fairly high for the amount of inconsistencies in thefood, odd pairing of flavors and just underseasoned food. I do not recommend this place unless you already kno
