    Excited to have found a delicious French Restaurant. The food was very good. We had the escargot, lyonnaise salad, french onion, steak frites and beef bourguignon. I was hoping by the time we got to our main dish, somewhat already full, the frites wouldn't be good and I'd only eat the steak. Not true. The frites were delish too! Our waitress was so sweet and knowledgeable.. Excited to come back and sit at the counter to watch the food be prepared.
