To start our meal, our group ordered cocktails along with foie gras, escargot, and chicken liver pâté. I was genuinely impressed by the flawless seasoning, textures, and presentation of each dish. The preparation of the foie gras was particularly outstanding. For our main course, we shared each other’s choices, which included Steak Frites, Duck Confit, Bouillabaisse, and the Caribbean Mahi, a chef's special. The kitchen showcased an impressive balance in the flavors, reflecting the expertise of a highly skilled culinary team.
The restaurant's ambiance truly embodies the charm of a classic French bistro. Our server was both knowledgeable and attentive without being overwhelming. By the time...
So food was amazing. We had escargot, fries, filet and Coq a vin. All amazing. Waiter was polite took our orders quickly though didn’t check back after our meals were served which felt weird. Then a few bites in brings our check to the table. Mind you we only just started our entrees, and hadn’t even (obviously) been asked if we wanted dessert. It was super weird. When we finished I asked him if we could see the dessert menu because we actually wanted dessert. Got the cream brûlée. Which was great and got our updated check before dessert arrived. Just felt super weird. That was the only part we didn’t enjoy. Live jazz music playing super cute space.
The staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The menu featured an impressive selection of options, and the food was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable. Our food arrived quickly, and everything was served just right. The restaurant itself had a cozy and inviting ambiance, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. It wasn't too noisy, which allowed for easy conversation. All in all, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I would certainly go back.

Fancy place and the price isn't too bad. Coffee is small though and hope they offer larger size instead of getting two cups... Considered an upscale place to my standard, the place is cleaned, service is good and have live music when I was there. Food isgood with nice presentation. Even provide a bottle of hand sanitizer on the table. The next store gift shop is under the sameowner. Net place to visit after a meal. Update: 3/2022 Here for dinner, service is excellent, food is great.
I didn't like the short ribs I ordered. Wasn't what I expected and didn't taste good either. The service was lousy. The waitress put the food on the table and disappeared never to come back to ask for feedback or if we wanted to order additional food. I wanted to order a side dish of French fries because I didn't want to eat the short ribs with the bread that came with it. She showed up when it was time to give us the bill.The atmosphere was awesome though.
My Daughter took me here for the 1st time for Mother's Day. The food was great, but the service was less to be desired. The atmosphere looked better and more updated in the pictures. We sat outside, but it was so hot that even the fans and umbrellas weren't enough. My Daughter was sweating bullets. Also, there are only about 10 parking spaces so, we had to park on the street and walk down. I'd definitely go back, but we'll have to sit inside.
Feels like being in France. I love this little place and how laid back yet it serves wonderful food with an obvious attention detail. The wine selection is outstanding and they do carry a wonderful Sancerre I highly recommend. The service is friendly and efficient which works for us because we like more private dining experiences.Love love this place!

After the delay in our initial service, the server was attentive, and nice, the food delicious, and the decor style was really nice. afterwords we visited the market at left bank which is their two story gift shop that contains tons of unique modern and vintage items for sale. Between lunch and the gift shop you can spend an entire afternoon here .
First time back since the pandemic. As usual it was scrumptious! We had the bouillabaisse and the special of the day. The entire meal was delicious!
