The restaurant has a good location but no parking. It is ok because you can always find aspot on the street. Food was ok. My dish was average chicken salad) but my friend’s dish was awesome! I tried it and it wasso savory and tasty! Delicious! She ordered some crepes even though it doesn’t look like classic crepes, you will see thephoto). All in all I think this place needs some renovation, but- maybe it is the goal to keep place like this, a little bit oldfashioned, I don’t know???????

And, because of the substantial portions given in the cassoulet, was enough to take home for dinner another night (ask for an extra service plate, as the casserole bowl was hard to maneuver bite sized portions out of). Klee pinot noir was a good choice to accompany both entrees. A bonus surprise was the excellent chanteuse and guitar duo, who took requests. Don't skip the soufflé for dessert yummy!
