For a French bistro at this price point, I expected more. The food was decent though not exceptional. The escargot were nicely prepared but the mussels were sandy and over cooked. The rest of the dishes were just good. The servers were pleasant but our waiter was not extensively knowledgeable about the menu. The vibe was lively and seating was not ideal for communicating. Overall an ok experience.

Felt a bit rushed to order at first. That changed after we said we weren’t ready Mussels were semi warm & cold like they may have been sitting there and not picked up soon enough. Had to get new order. Small pour on glass of wine would have done better getting the bottle. That is bothersome.

Food was good, ambience was fantastic, drinks were incredible, only saw our waitress once to take our order and then to give us our bill. Asked for a Kronenbourg lager and got their white beer. If I ever go back, to which I am not opposed, I’d do things a bit differently.

Lovely ambience. But soup came out cold and the quiche was burnt. They ran out of the special rose and were not willing to offer a substitute rose at the same price. We were disappointed.
