It had been quite some time since I’d tasted good pâté since moving to the U.S., but their pâté en baguette was simply magnifique — rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. To top it off, the crème brûlée was perfection — silky smooth with the most satisfying caramelized crust. From the warm, attentive service to the cozy, inviting atmosphere, every detail felt thoughtfully French. Un grand merci for such a lovely experience! 10/10 — I can’t wait to return and enjoy it all over again.

This is a small, quiet little french restaurant that feels like a piece of France was dropped in the middle of Decatur Square. I have a love of escargot in Garlic and Parsleybutter, so I had to order theirs. To my delight, it came out with as many slices of their homemade baguette as escargots (6). Ifyou have had this preparation, you know it is more about the sauce than the snails, and that sauce put a pleasurable smile on myface. The escargot themselves seemed a tad overdone, but overall, it was exceptional. My wife ordered the Pâté du Chef, whichhad a deep, rich flavor of sweet, savory, and nutty elements. It was also served with several slices of their homemade baguette.This was also wonderful. It would be difficult to recommend one of our appetizers over the other since they were both sodelicious. For the main course, my wife had the Salmon Wellington, and I had the Chicken Cordon Bleu. The Wellington was muchlighter than I expected, and the blending of the pastry with the salmon was unexpectedly fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately,the Chicken Cordon Bleu was much heavier and did not really appeal to me. I had just a couple of bites and had to set it aside.This was really just a bad choice on my part since everything else was so good. Finally, we almost never eat desserts atrestaurants, but they had a dessert case that we had to investigate. We opted to take home their Lemon Tart and the ChocolatePot de Creme. These were very rich and balanced each other with the lemon being slightly tart and the chocolate much heavierthan a mousse. Though small, they lasted an hour as we took small bites while watching a movie on the couch. Overall, we highlyrecommend this restaurant, especially if you are looking for a great little french café with high-quality food and a laid-backvibe. Bon Appétit!
