Nestled in an unassuming location, this restaurant offers a delightful blend of French-influenced cuisine that has garnered rave reviews for its flavors and presentation. Diners are enamored with dishes like the perfectly cooked shrimp and exquisite octopus; however, portion sizes have sparked some debate. While many appreciate the delicate balance of flavors, a few critiques have surfaced regarding specific dishes being overly rich or lacking in quantity for the price. The ambiance is charming, and the BYOB policy adds to its allure. Overall, it remains a hidden gem worth exploring for its remarkable culinary offerings.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The food was incredible, and the staff/service were unbeatable. My friends and I split the octopus to start which was so tender and delicious. I ordered the branzino which was really good, and one of my friends ordered the 10oz short rib. When she had a bite of mine she asked if we could switch because she decided she wanted that instead so I took her plate and am so happy I did! The short rib was super tender and delicious and she loved the branzino. After we split the apricot bread pudding and that was phenomenal as well. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more!

A smaller, unassuming restaurant hidden in Plainfield is the home of some of the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. We were fortunate to grab the last parking space there. We were promptly seated with our reservation, and we sought to try the fried Burrata, market salad, salmon, and Margherita pizza. My favorites of the night were the market salad and the Margherita pizza, both of which I believe to have a great flavor. Service was attentive and very quick, and the bathroom was nice and clean. Dessert was delicious as well, I would recommend the apricot bread pudding, which was a smashing hit. All in all, a terrific experience that I would recommend for anyone who is a self-proclaimed foodie.

Great, friendly staff! truly a hidden gem and the food was A M A Z I N G! The mussels appetizer was to die for, the white sauce had us asking for more bread so we could get more of it! Came here for a lunch but will be back to have their dinner!

This is by far one of the toughest reviews. My food was good, I had the grilled chicken sandwich with pepper, it came with coated fries which I really loved, however my friend ordered the meatballs as an appetizer and the pizza, unfortunately hedidn’t like either. I tasted the pizza and didn’t care for it myself, but I believe it was due to the Gorgonzola cheese. Thecrust was fine, the cheese just wasn’t my favorite. The customer service was fantastic, the young lady was very attentive,informative and accommodating. I would try the restaurant again but the biggest problem I had was the menu selection; with thatsaid I would try the dinner menu with hopes of having a better selection of dishes.

My Wife I were in the area looking for a nice BYOB. Even though one of servers wasn't our waiter, he took the time to describe his favorites. Our waitress was totally professional and knowledgeable. We were debating on getting dessert and we decidedagainst it. The owner heard what we thinking of and he brought it to us on the house. It was our first time there and we can'twait to go back. It's totally worth the 25 minute drive to us.
