Night we dined it was unfortunately a limited prix fixe menu would have preferred to have had other options than those presented nevertheless ,the kitchen seemed to be brilliant.Appetizers were exquisite. My main course beef was fine; my husband's pheasant accompanied by stuffing was dry and not very palatable. Desserts were lovely. Wine selection very good my chardonnay was served appropriately chilled. Server forgot something that we had requested not a big deal since it was Xmas Eve and they seemed short staffed but nevertheless it happened. I will go there again to taste what else the kitchen can produce.

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.
