Good service. Good tasty food. We had foie gras and escargot among other dishes. All were good. Good desserts too.

Apart for the delicious food this bistro has to offer there is also outstanding hospitality & a great location. My good friend, who loves the place, took me there last spring, on a sunny afternoon. We sat, ate, drank and utterly enjoyed every minute of more than 4 hours. So this week I came back with a table of 11 for a family celebration and it was a perfect finale for a great day. The owner prepared a special menu for us, which added a personal touch to an already romantic experience. The food was excellent and hospitality outstanding again. I would send everyone I know there, but my friend might kill me…

Excellent French Bistro A great French food without the pomp and formality. More like actually being in France . We used a bubble and it was cozy. Service was excellent. Prices very reasonable. Steak was typically American huge (14 oz) enough for two. Portions were all large. Escargot were good as was a seafood bouillabaisse they called a stew. Veg Ravioli with walnuts also excellent so they had something for everyone. Didn't look closely at the wine list but the house served a nice cote de Rhone. Deserts were the only let down - ok but not spectacular. Good capachino coffee and a real tea pot. Excellent value considering the quality - we will definitely return here.

Chicken breast sandwich was simple and good - would have liked a sauce / spread in it - came with yummy crunchy outside/soft inside fries. The French toast was delicious with a good amount of strawberries and blueberries. Happy that their syrup was real maple syrup.

We usually love the chocolate mousse here, but went the other night to get some to go and it was soupy and runny and not good. We went back to tell them and they just said they’d tell the manager. No offer to replace. For the price, it was very frustrating and disappointing to not be able to enjoy the dessert.

My favorite neighborhood restaurant!Our favorites: lamb sliders (so juicy with a kick), mussels (fresh and tender with great sauce!), foie gras (just a gem!), and the fried chicken (super juicy, not overly salty like others, hearty, and the salad is great too!).I am also a fan of the quails and the sides that come with it.

Are you craving French Onion Soup and also need to finish printing your business proposal by end of day? Well, we have just the place for you. This quaint restaurant offers the beloved French classics like Onion Soup gratinee and also a features a bulky 1990s era accounting desk plopped in the middle of all the action with a side cart desktop printer-scanner combo. Since the printer is hanging off the desk in the path of the bathroom it does offer a drinking game opportunity as two people have bumped into since we sat down. The food is decent but the decor and sevice could use a Jon Taffer rescue. Jon... if you're out there I hope you see this. The vibe is somewhere in between Emily In Paris and The Office. Everyone in the restaurant, including those who ran into the printer seem to be enjoying their brunch.

A very small place with additional seating outside. Food was very good. A bit pricey. I gave 3 stars because the young girl who took my daughters and my dinner away never wrapped them up for us to take home. She did for 2 other people in our party. I still had half of my Beef Bourgogne left (was so delicious) and my daughter also had half of her dinner left. Why would you not wrap them up and give to the customer??? I know I told her to do so, but she said I did not. After paying those prices I didn't want it in the garbage. I wanted to eat it the next day! So make sure they understand you want a doggie bag. Nothing was done as compensation except for our waiter belittling her. Very disappointed.

They've excellent snowglobe outdoor dining option as well as cozy indoor dining option. Delicious, fresh food and a good variety of choices. Service was great as wellI never felt left out as we were dining out. I'll definitely recommend this place for great food, service, and ambiance.

Absolutely love it here. Never had a bad meal. Venison medallions were delicious!
