                                                        Our reservation was at opening. However it took several minutes after sitting before lights were turned on in the restaurant. For our meal, we each ordered French toast. We received something like bread pudding. We were not told ahead of time that what we ordered wasn’t available. I also ordered lyonnaise potatoes and received roasted potatoes. These are not the same thing - again not told it was not an option. Finally I ordered an espresso martini that was very bad. I asked for a remake and they added Bailey’s. I don’t believe it had espresso which is part of the standard recipe. All in all our experience was poor enough we won’t return.

                                                        The food was delectable and the atmosphere welcoming; however the servers are not as attentive as they should be especially to customers drinking a bottle of wine. They have an excellent wine list but the servers have difficulty opening the bottle and when they do serve it, they abandon it on the table. The empty glasses remain empty until one pours it yourself.

                                                        Our server and the ambiance were the highlight of the evening. Appetizers were good, but the entrees were mediocre. The schnitzel and risotto were plated poorly and looked unappetizing. Our steak arrived to the table late.

                                                        I love the food here - French cooking at its best. Great wine selection and lovely service.

                                                        Food was good, service not up to what we have experienced in the past. Great wine list

                                                        This is an old school French bistro with a terrific menu and friendly staff. We had brunch and the food was delicious. We look forward to our next visit!

                                                        Great experience. We appreciated being seated in a quiet corner as requested, but actually the restaurant was quiet throughout and ambiance was lovely. Food was delicious and well presented. Mushroom risotto and chocolate mousse were particularly good Our waiter was friendly and very attentive. We are Rhode Islanders who come up to Boston occasionally. Aquitaine is our go to place for dinner after activities since it's on our way heading back. Parking is plentiful and we can relax with a reliably excellent dinner before the hour drive home. We'll be back.
