    Great way to have a birthday meal. Food was excellent. Tried one of sauces go along with the steak, and it added to flavor. However, I enjoyed the steak byitself also - that good.

    I don't normally write a bad review, but this meal was so notably bad that I felt I had to. I had the special last night which was a veal chop. It was such a small portion, none of it was even edible because it was so laced with fat. This dish should have never made it to the stove, much less a plate. I have had good meals here in the past but this one made me think the chef quit or left the building for the night. I would have done better picking the worst cut of meat at the local grocery for $1 and cooking it myself. They should be ashamed. The wine pricing is very reasonable. The service was good. However, nothing can make up for bad food.

    The food was very good. The Floating Island desert was excellent. The pureed butternut squash made the hanger steak taste almost excellent.

    excellent french bistro. We have been several times. Classic French cooking in Metarie, away from the downtown and Quarter crowds. They now have a second location in warehouse area. great salads, very good duck, shrimp and fish dishes. good french wine selections.

    We've eaten here a number of times in the past with mixed results. After waiting a few months before going back we decided to give it another shot. The appetizers, especially the Escargot was very good. The main course of Red Snapper was very small and had little to no flavor. The Sirloin steak was tough and stringy. Service was slow, and the wine list could afford to have more of a selection. It will be a long time before we go back again...
