The food was delicious! French onion soup is a must, perfectly melted Gruyère and a generous amount of soup. I also had the Croque Monsieur which was so filling and beautifully melted. Great ambience, attentive staff and we were not rushed. Made for an absolutely wonderful family get together. Will be back!

We have never been disappointed at this neighborhood gem. Our spinach salad, as well as the escargot, were excellent prefaces to delicious entrees (the cod special and trout). Cocktails lovely, and apple tarte was a fine ending to the meal.
