It was Valentine’s Day. Crowded. Arrived on time but people were cramped in the doorway. Couldn’t get in or out. One gentleman leaving warned us the service was poor. They could have had people sit or stand in the bar area but greeter just ignored us all. The pate was nice as was the hot bread. I had the French onion soup. There were maybe two onion strands. The duck was dry with plain lentils and cabbage. There was some liquid in a tiny container which I tasted but it didn’t have any real flavor so I didn’t use. Not a great experience so far. Then we waited 45 minutes before we decided to leave as the chocolate mousse and complimentary glass of champagne, after that long a wait, just wasn’t tempting any more. The restaurant has been in business a long time and should know how to staff a full restaurant. If they don’t have enough staff, they should not have had all the tables in service. Needles to say we will never return.

First time visit, many more in the future. Six of us were reminded of a great French restaurant we found in Napa! Our server Josh did an incredible job.

We love this restaurant! The food was fabulous- I had rainbow trout and my husband had potato-crusted salmon. The service was excellent, and it’s a very cozy, beautiful restaurant. Great wine selection too.

Celebrating my wife and my 19th wedding anniversary, we decided to step out of our comfort zone and indulge in an unforgettable culinary adventure at this charming French restaurant. As first-timers to French cuisine, we were blown away by the experience. Every dish was absolutely exquisite—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and crafted with obvious care. The wine selection perfectly complemented the meal, offering a superb balance of depth and elegance. What truly elevated the evening, however, was the impeccable and attentive service; the staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary feel special. From start to finish, this was a flawless dining experience that we’ll cherish. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a romantic, memorable night out!
