    I was excited to try this restaurant, and expected better. The warm boucheron salad could have been much better. Service very slow, order was incomplete. Cheese platter poor, and walnuts old. Chicken roti was very good. Overall, very overpriced for the quality of food.

    The food was so bland, including an unsalted steak. The Crème Brûlée was yellow on top they didn’t even bother to finish it. No espresso machine. Mentioned celebrating a birthday twice in the reservation. Apparently you don’t bother reading the notes. Really disappointing. A waste of $300

    A great spot for a taste of France and a pre theatre dinner before seeing a play at the Calderwood Pavilion. Our waiter was attentive and respected our timing and the food (and drinks) delicious. So nice to have a restaurant like this in the south End.
