                                  A country French inspired and focused menu that was impeccably presented. The dishes were delicious... scallops with risotto, rack of lamb, and beef burgundy... a bistro atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows providing an elevated downtown fine-dining vibe. Add in the terrific service providing the food and wine, and the Christmas lights on Venice Avenue right across from Centennial Park and you have... well... a lovely dinner to celebrate the season's Happy Holidays!!!

                                  Great little French restaurant. The service was exceptional and the server had a great knowledge of the wines as well as the good. Steak was the best and very tender. The only bad thing is I couldn’t eat anymore. You owe it to yourself to try this place. I have traveled long distances for a good meal but the best is right here in Venice.

                                  Our favorite local restaurant, adore the people who are at this restaurant. We nearly always have the specials, last night was Triple tail fish with a beurre blanc sauce , ratatouille and roasted sweet potatoes, my husband had the lamb shank , fall off the bone tender and flavorful. Never had a bad meal or even been remotely disappointed. See you soon Alice and chef!
