We have eaten here four times now. We have tried several dishes and they have all been very good. I recommend the grilled baby octopus and the veal schnitzel. The carrot cake dessert is awesome. I also like the choices of red wine by the glass. The service is attentive. We will be back.

I went here with a colleague because it was the only place in the area she knew of. Everything was fine - except the toast on my sandwich, which was burnt - but I'm sure better value can be had for the money.

Loved doing a brunch date here albeit it was definitely a busy spot! We sat at the bar for a cocktail first before getting our table. The food was good and I had the burger and my date had the egg sandwich. Both were delicious and a recommend. We also enjoyed some bread to start and lots of wine and mimosas! A great spot in FIDI for Saturday brunch! I recommend. The wait staff engaged in fun dialogue once the brunch rush was finished and added to our experience.

Classic French brasserie style restaurant. Delicious food, well presented. My only complaint is that I was served horrible sliced white bread as their gluten free bread offering. It was supermarket standard, and let the place down.
The food was too salty. This is a continental restaurant so one expects a bit more salt but the chef got carried away. The flavors of the food were lost with the large amount of salt. Our waiter did not come to get our drinks order even though the restaurant was mostly empty. The hostess noticed and ask us for our drinks order. Not her job.

Greta food and great ambiance. Food is not heavy on lard and butter as some other french restaurants. Stepping inside the restaurant is like being transported to Paris, beautiful interior and decor.

While French is not my favorite cousine, I had an unusually good meal, and there were plenty of attractive course options
Endive salad was very tasty, and the pork chop was fine!
