I also loved the potato side and the mushrooms. The service was delightful, unrushed and friendly. We lingered over our dinner for over two hours.The creme brulee was perfection, with a light texture and balanced citrus flavor.A perfect location for a special occasion

Escargot come in their shells now and out of 6, 2 were missing. Mussels were dried out and lacked flavor. The broth used to be delicious. Husband's steak was small and fatty. Spent a fortune and left dissatisfied. Drinks were good but very pricey. Server was great. Heated outdoor patio is very nice. Will not return.

My first time here and was a great place for our date night. Our dishes were delicious of halibut and beef and the dessert was a perfect way to end the night. read more My first time here and was a great place for our date night.

While their menu has more wine and drinks than main menu items, the food are authentic French dishes that do not disappoint. The wait staff is amazing. There whenyou want them, invisible when you don't. Their advice on menu items was spot on. We could not have had a better time or meal.

Despite the usual French posters about absinthe and apéritifs, the room manages to keep an authentic bistro atmosphere, thanks to typical high chairs/benches (separated with plexiglas panels). Thestaff was super friendly and accommodating, which is the only part that didn’t feel typically French ???? We had the hangersteak with gratin dauphinois, and it was flawless. The steak was actually rare (like we ordered), and tender. The gratin wascreamy, with a touch of garlic. Only the greens were of questionable usefulness in this plate (since they brought more fat thanacidity). We had the chocolate pot de crème for dessert. I expected something good but relatively heavy. It was surprisinglylight (all things considered), and the chocolate was most surely French. We’ll definitely be back! PS: we came with a babyand the owner had arranged a table with more space, so we could keep the stroller with us.
