Portions are generally moderate and thoughtfully plated, plenty for a satisfying dinner but in keeping with a bistro-style menu. Guests call the cheeseboard perfect for two, praise generous frites, and describe entrees like steak frites, duck, and scallops as well-portioned. A few guests mentioned smaller protein portions on certain dishes (duck, pork chop) or variability on steak size, so share plates or starters if you want to sample more.

For a quieter experience, aim for weekday brunch or early lunch when the restaurant is less busy.
