    Our reservation was just before closing time on the 4th of July. David our server was amazing! Very accommodating, sarcastic and funny in the best way, and the perfect accompaniment to a delicious meal. We ended up being the last party there but never felt rushed. Can't wait to go back.

    Wonderful service with traditional French dishes enhanced by seasonal vegetables. The steak frites sauce was so good. And the burrata salad was just perfect. Our waiter was prompt friendly and kept us informed when there was a minor slow down in the kitchen which we probably would not have noticed as we were enjoying the food so much. Neighborhood gem.

    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.
