    Front of the house very friendly. Food is good overall. Excellent seafood stew and sand dabs fish. Way too sweet orange sauce on the duck. Next time I’ll just get it on the side. Our waitress was disappointing. professional but slow and not very attentive.

    Cute place, offering decent cuisine, although lacking in authentic French dishes. Unfortunately, there is no air conditioning, but ceiling fans are available.

    The food was barely adequate. There was stale bread. No French restaurant should have stale bread. Our salads were mediocre with wilted greens. The entree plates were very hot which probably signaled that the meals had been under a heat lamp for too long. Because the plates were so hot that the sauces separated. This truly was a disappointment.

    First time here. Ordered escargot app and the seafood in puff pastry entree. Price was much higher (over $10 higher) than menu listed online! They did offer a reasonable price summer prix fixe menu. Escargot was good. Butterfly & garlicky. The bay scallops in the seafood could have been much better & the shrimp was overcooked. There was minimal sauce. The top of the puff pastry was hard and inedible. Definitely wouldn’t order this dish again. Might give another try for lunch and order a different dish. Good corkage fee as well.

    Wonderful meal. Felt like I was in France. The steak au povire was the best I've eaten. The pate and crab cake starters were wonderful.

    The menu is diverse. The food was great. Our server was excellent. A reasonable $20 corkage fee for wine that we brought. I haven’t been to this restaurant in quite some time and I will definitely add it back into the list of favorites. ❤️
