   The gnocchi was amazing. However, our server was super condescending. She was rushing us out of the restaurant while there were empty tables around us.

   This is such a solid 4-5 star dining spot … I’ve never had a bad meal/dining experience here - even during COVID. If you’ve never down their little outdoor space upstairs try it (when the weather permits) 😎 !

   Overall ok. Nice place, average service, French fries were cold. A bit over prized in general.

   Our waitress was excellent, knowledgeable and the highlight of our dining experience. My wife had the Onion Soup. The gruyere cheese was perfect but the broth was extremely sweet. Disappointing. I had the escargot and the taste was terrible almost to the point of being inedible. This recipe is setup for failure from the start. The pannise, chickpea flour fitters, were mushy, tasteless and completely destroyed this appetizer. This dish lacked salt and tasted nothing like any traditional French escargot dish that my wife and I have enjoyed. I don’t know how this appetizer has remained on the menu. My wife enjoyed the gnocchi dish for her entree although she commented the corn in the dish was a weird combination and it didn’t resemble anything close to French cuisine. My entree of duck confit was extremely disappointing. This was a potato entree disguised as duck confit. I received a minuscule drumstick portion of a duck leg. While the confit had a nice crispy skin, it is a complete oversight by the chef that a dish this salty could ever make it to any plate served in a restaurant. I like salt and it is nearly impossible to serve anything to me that is over salted. To say the duck was over salted is an understatement. It is beyond belief that this could be an oversight. Quality control is non-existent and says all you need to know about the chef and the kitchen staff of this restaurant. Good restaurants don’t make egregious mistakes like this. There were 4 times the portion of potatoes on this plate as there was duck so the value was bad for a $38 dish. I received a $6.00 portion of duck. The potatoes were mushy. The fennel was the only thing good on the plate. Did I mention the duck was extremely salty? We finished the evening with a carmelized puff pastry with goat cheese and raspberries. Poor value and left much to be desired. Stingy portion with not enough goat cheese. Avoid this place. Go to Bistrot La Minette if you want a quality traditional French meal.

   Delightful experience as always. I tried the Parisian gnocchi this time which was light and flavorful - paired well with my refreshing oh snap cocktail. Perfect summer meal.. looking forward to returning again in the future.

   My wife and I loved our appetizers but couldn’t eat our entrees as they were way over salted. I ordered truffle ravioli and my wife had Salad Nicoise with dressing on the side. Even the lettuce was salted. But they were extremely apologetic and offered to get us both something else. When we said no thanks, they took both off our bill.

    This place really needs a serious over-haul starting with the poor service at the bar, marginal food and dim atmosphere. I frequented this restaurant several years ago when it first opened and it was fresh, vibrant, and the food delicious with good service. No longer.
