Quaint and cozy interior, menu options remind me of a local French café... everything I've had is delicious, plus the menu rotates to feature new items. The staff are kind and accommodating. I recommend the egg sandwich my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Not a huge menu but a mix of classics with a twist. Three of us shared starters including the cheese plate and crepe. Had the classic mussels and fries, steak and frites (only had rib eye cut available) and a classic pasta. Themussels looked a little puny (perhaps time of the year), and others good. Winner was likely the cheese plate. Nice, newlyrenovated/moved location.

The new space is amazing! A lot of space at the bar, and plenty of tables. The mussels and fries were a good size to share. I’m excited to come back! read more The new space is amazing!

They didn’t have any more oysters that night except the canned kind so I thought I’d give it a shot, def not even half as good. Myboyfriend got the $18 drink which was just one giant ice cube honestly. We got the pesto pasta and fish dinner. Both needed moresauce and flavor overall? Fries were bomb though and that aioli!! I do want to note our server was great and very friendly andknowledgeable of the menu! Overall wasn’t a bad experience but nothing really worth coming back for! We chose this placebecause they do give back to the community by offering a limited of reservations a ‘pay as you can’ experience so thosepeople who can’t afford to eat out out can for once! Though I must admit I mistaken this place for JULIA that all my friendsraved about.

The newly renovated space was inviting, and the pastel-toned decors and tiled floor reminded me of popular brunch cafes inBoston. Sprinkled with bread crumbs, the gazpacho was a great way to open the food gates. Burst of umami flavor from thetomatoes and a slight bitterness from the olive powder really woke up our taste buds. The croquettes were a bit salty, but Iliked the emphatic fish flavor which paired well with the radish from the aioli garni. Coastal Aioli garni was essentially anassortment of pickled vegetables, potatoes, and seafood. Seafood was limited to mussels and pickled fish, but we enjoyed theunique experience of dipping of everything in the aioli. For the entrées, we got the risotto, pappardelle, and the hakemeuniere. Risotto and the pappardelle were good, but not as good as the ones you can get at Italian restaurants in the city. Onthe other hand, hake meuniere was fantastic. Firm texture of the hake went really well with the capers, zucchini, and big chunksof tomatoes. Service was a bit slow as the dishes came out one by one. Since we were sharing 6 plates, it took more than anhour for everything to get served. Nevertheless, our server was friendly, and I would highly recommend checking them out forbrunch or dinner.
