A Food Affair RestaurantQuiet, hidden gem.I had a fantastic meal here with my girlfriend for her birthday. Service was prompt, but not overly fussy. The food was expertly prepared, full of rich, French flavour. Ambience of the restaurant just had a lot of happy people, but the intimate and warm decor led everyone to not be too loud which makes it a good place for a romantic occasion, or a family meal, etc...
Food portions are moderately sized, but the dishes we ordered were quite rich. Waitress will be very helpful if you want to put together a full meal that isn't too filling.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMA Bit of Southern France in WLAWhat a wonderful find! Simply delicious food, especially the bouillabaisse. Service impeccable and so friendly, all done with a family flair. Restaurant was full and I could easily hear my partner, so rare these days.

You can bring your own wine and they will not charge corkage fee. You can relax and enjoy a great meal with family and/or friends. Highly recommend it. And yes, the prices are fantastic for the quality of food you get.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMNeighborhood FindOne of my favorite salads here is grilled romaine with turkey bacon, blue cheese and roasted pear, but tonight they added fresh mango and gave it a summer twist. I love when I order a steak rare and it actually comes out that way! Not only was my steak done to order, but it was HUGE and flavorful with wonderful spinach and onions. Also tried the lemocello cake for dessert and somehow managed to eat a few bites after my meal simply because it was so light and airy.
They are getting very popular, so reserve a table if you want to go....I think this hidden neighborhood gem has been discovered!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMDelightful French BistroNot only is the food superb, but the couple who own it are professionals who know how to be personable. This is truly a place for a friendly feast, and BYOB with no corkage means you can enjoy your meal with your favorite wine.
I started with a charred romaine salad with crispy pancetta, blue cheese, pomegranate seeds and roasted bosc pear for $8 that could have been a meal in and of itself. Great combination of flavors and lovely presentation.
I chose the Boeuf Bourguignon for $18 which came with wild mushrooms, paparadelle, pearl onions, turkey bacon and carrots that was so perfectly done, I don't think I will ever go to the trouble of making it myself again. The portion was so generous that I ended up taking half of it home.

Everything smelled so good. Felt like I was having an authentic home cooked meal in France. Dessert was also homemade. Just a wonderful culinary night. Ample street parking. My new favorite restaurant!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMI tried the Bouillabaise andI tried the Bouillabaise and it invoked memories of Nice with fragrant fennel, leeks and grape tomatoes in a light seafood broth. The fish and seafood were cooked perfectly and I highly recommend this dish to anyone who wants something filling yet light.
For dessert my eyes immediately went to the Tahitian Vanilla crème brûlée which was absolutely perfect with the lightly burnt sugar topping and the creamy vanilla custard.
They source as many of their ingredients locally and organically as possible, so you can rest assured that they are not skimping on quality.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMNeighborhood GemCharming French restaurant, reasonably priced with an excellent menu. The creative food presentation added to the overall dining experience. The friendliness of the chef owner and his wife bring a homey atmosphere to the dining room.

We will be back soon.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMOn its way for sure!I(and my friends) really liked it.
The food was very good and the staff very friendly and hospitable.
The outdoor dining was noisy right on Robertson, a few too many sirens and they haven't quite worked out how to arrange the tables so that there is adequate room and so that they don't need to keep moving tables and chairs around in an attempt to accommodate patrons.
All and all, I think it is going to end up quite nice.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time there. Great food,First time there. Great food, really delicious. Will return. Not great with substitutions. A bit pricey when you have to pay for a full side of roasted veggies when you don't care for the veggies that come with the entrée.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThis restaurant is consistentlyThis restaurant is consistently wonderful every time!
