    The food was exceptional. The ambiance is charming. The service was very good but as more people arrived to eat, the lone waiter had some difficulty keeping up with the demand.

    Fabulous talented chef. One man, prepared seven different main courses, and they all arrived together. Each was perfectly prepared! We then ordered four of the decedent desserts, which were again masterfully prepared. A definate place to go!

    My boyfriend and I had a dinner date here and thought that the atmosphere was romantic and quaint. Although, our food was "good" at best, especially for the prices. If your normal portion sizes are on the larger side, expect to have a less-than-filling meal as they are rather small dishes, especially for a dinner entree. The service was friendly and prompt and dinner here was overall a decent experience.

    Had dinner with friends and family for my birthday. The food was excellent. The special desserts, chocolate and Grand Marnier soufflés, were spectacular.

    When you go to FMG, think of it as going to a Parisian restaurant in the late 90's. Service may be rough - especially if you only speak English (wink!). Start out with a nice 'Bonjour' and you'll already be in for better service. Food is strong - classic French choices, lightly flavored (no overpowering sauces) and fair pricing. Soufflé is exceptional - order it when you sit so it is ready by dessert. This dessert is like abalone - exceptional, but few take the time or know how to prepare it. Yes, FMG décor is a bit dated - oh well - look at your plate instead. I might recommend dining on the patio if you want to feel less stuffy. It's French in flavor and attitude. Come strong and don't let yourself get easily offended...even laugh that you are experiencing classic real Parisianne experience....then enjoy a wonderful meal. Bon Appetite!

    I had a great meal and wonderful service. The waiter was super nice and made sure we were well taken care of. The only thing I will say is that restaurant could use an update in decor, meaning it was a beautiful place but you could tell the furniture was old. Also it felt a bit stuffy so I would suggest opening the doors more or maybe an AC. Apart from that everything was lovely and wonderful. I will be returning!

    Worst experience ever. I see why it was all empty when we were there. I went there for my girlfriend's birthday. But it was my worst experience. French onion soup and sweetbread came out early. But the soup was lukewarm that cheese did not even melt, stayed in a chunk.. Sweetbread was okay. And then, we waited literally 30 mins to get seabass and lamb. The seabass was super greasy and sause was just blend.. couldnt taste anything but just greasiness.. lamb had a strong mutton smell.. and tasted no good. Those are definitely NOT worth the price.. Ruined our celebration...
