Very nice restaurant with a pleasant Parisian décor. The menu was diverse with different options, but not overwhelming. Food was excellent and portions were big (expected portions to be smaller as with other French restaurants). Drinks were amazing! Not too strong, but strong enough.... simply delicious. Escargots was delicious, and oil was great for bread dipping. Beef Bourguignon was tender with plenty of sauce. Mussels were big, fresh, and in a lite sauce (could use a big more garlic). They are also child friendly in terms of menu.... The kids burger was huge and properly cooked as requested. We were there on Wed night, so it was quite. The Wed pre-fix menu was also a great option. Overall a great experience, and will definitely come back.
