    The food was delicious. We loved the salad, French onion soup, duck and fish dishes. Decor is classic French bistro and ambience is relaxed. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back. So happy to find a neighborhood gem!

    Food was very good but if I’m honest the prices were too high for the food based on the service and ambiance. Our food was at the table within 10 mins which in most cases is fine but if felt like a rushed experience of a meal. Really enjoyed the food and drinks overall but would likely not come back.

    We’ve just returned from a 2 month trip to France. Our dinner last night was on par with some of the best meals we devoured during our French adventure! Good service also. Excellent night out.

    Overall food was delicious and came out quickly. But our server was clearly very busy so we felt that she was not very attentive to us. Had to ask 2x to be able to place our food order. Gave us some complementary celebratory champagne which was a very nice touch!

    Sadly a disappointing experience. Appetizers and drinks were good but entrees were super delayed and when they arrived food was overcooked and also lukewarm warm. I don’t like to be critical of restaurants but the fact my frites were cool and totally soggy and my medium rare steak was also close to cold and way overcooked for. French restaurant is unforgivable. Like really? We had business guests but if they weren’t there I wouldn’t have sent it back. My work collages salmon was also overcooked and so a very disappointing and expensive experience.

    Portions have gotten smaller, while the prices have gone higher. Service was very slow for a Monday evening when the restaurant wasn't particularly crowded. I intensely dislike the 3% junk fee for the kitchen staff. With the prices charged you be able to give a living wage to the back of the house or just raise the menu prices. Probably won't be back which is a shame as I used to very much enjoy Aquitane and sister restaurant Metropolis
