Not great. Made a reservation and our table was in the back corner that needs better lighting. Had steak frites and it was disappointing. Sad, was really looking forward to a great French bistro and the only thing that was tremendous was the French martini.

The dining room was very pleasant with wood paneling. The service was very good. One of the best Caesar salads I have had in a long time. The trout was also very good. My husband said his lamb burger was cooked Medium Rare just the way he likes it. We will definitely go back even though trying to park in Cherry Creek is no small feat.

We understood the slow service as it's a problem everywhere, but the server was responsive despite being very busy. We went for the escargot and were disappointed with the (ground parsley?) that covered the whole dish, and the buttery garlic flavor we hoped for was missing. The seafood crepe had plenty of crab, but lacked flavor. We sat outside on a beautiful day and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Enjoyed this dinner evening with my husband on a Sunday. One glitch with the host who showed us to an outdoor table right in the traffic pattern of guests going in the front door to check in. Perhaps there could be an outside host station at the base of the stairs so that the people at that table right by the door wouldn't be bothered and disrupted by all of the guests going in to check in. Gratefully, I asked to be placed at a different outdoor table away from that bustle and it was a nicer experience that way. Our server was fairly attentive, not the best server I've ever had but adequate. The food is nice, tasty, flavorful, well prepared. We both had salads to start - gorgonzola/grape salad for my husband and the beet/goat cheese for me. Then we both had steak dishes - steak frites for my husband and steak au poivre for me. My husband asked for au gratin potato substitute instead of the frites and that was not a problem. We had nice weather for sitting outside and we appreciated the outdoor dining area was down some steps so the street noise was not an issue. The background music was very nice, and at an appropriate volume. Nice dining experience - would definitely visit again.

The Chardonnay on the daily menu was excellent in taste, chilled just right, and a generous pour. The east coast wellfleet oysters were good as was the soup de jour. service was spotty waiter brought oysters and soup out together when we asked for soup as a second course. They took it away when asked. The entrees of beef tips and chicken croquettes recommended by the waiter were not good. My dining companion kept her beef but when asked I said I did not like the chicken at all and it was removed from the table and the bill. We didn’t stay for dessert even though we were celebrating a birthday. I would go back but I would stay away from the entrees and make a meal of starters and salad and especially the wine options.
