The flavors arebright and the ingredients market fresh, classic French dishes madelocal and organic — crab croquettes, rillettes de saumon, saladed’endives, pommes purée made the traditional way with crème fraîche,filet mignon, market fish au feu de bois, soupe à l'oignon, house madepastas, and more. One of our favorite dishes is a vegetarian hachisparmentier made with mushrooms, the perfect seasonal meal that can beenjoyed with a courgette marinated zucchini starter and a lovelybottle of Chateau Neuf du Pape. The magic of the night at the Martcreates a Parisian setting in this gem of a bistro with great wineselections from France and beyond.

    Loved it! Service was very attentive and they had wonderful suggestions from their menu. The steak tartare was delicious served on homemade potato chips. The deviled eggs were a wonderful surprise served upside down with a sauce and caviar on top. The Caesar salad was amazing…I shared this but won’t next time I return…it was delicious with the crunchy topping. We shared the roast chicken, which was so tender and had the most delicious pan gravy. And don’t leave without trying the Soft Serve dessert. It checks all the boxes…caramel, toasted hazelnuts, poached pears and ice cream.

    We were made to feel welcome the moment we walked in. The staff is friendly. The interior was so Christmasy with a fire going in the fireplace and a magnificent tree that smelled heavenly. We had appetizers, cocktails and entrees that were all tasty. Entrees were served nice and hot. We were not rushed at all. Highly recommend. We have been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

    The dinner was lovely and the servers were very attentive. Wine list is perfect, mostly Spanish and French options with some American picks incorporated. Dishes my party had were the 3 option charcuterie, french onion soup, and moules marinières. Would definitely go back to try their brunch menu as well! Thank you for a great night!
