What an amazing place! It’s the perfect spot to hang out with friends. The atmosphere is comfortable, the food is excellent, and the service is top-notch. Tal and Courtney were fantastic hosts for our private party.
I stumbled upon this restaurant while strolling downtown and enjoyed a truly wonderful meal. The food is charming, authentically French, and beautifully presented. The drink menu is quite remarkable as well, and the staff is knowledgable and very accommodating. I highly recommend this place for a laid-back meal with friends, a peaceful snack while reading a book, or a quick getaway after a long day at work.
Incredible spot to experience a European-style "l'heure de l'apéro." Gather a few friends, share some snacks, and sip on a couple of aperitifs while you ponder your dinner plans. You'll find you might be perfectly satisfied after just hanging out here for a few rounds!
The variety of Amari and Vermouth they offer is amazing, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and willing to assist.
“Food service were both excellent” -my fiancé As I sit here finishing my glass of wine I can’t help but enjoy this awesome atmosphere and great music selection. We had cocktails, both fantastic. He loved his negroni and the Italian greyhound was perfect and so refreshing. Server was amazing. Just come in, take a seat, have some wine/cocktails/beer or all three and chat with your friends. That’s what this place is for and it is perfect for it.
