    Went for our anniversary, booked at noon. First impression is it's a cute restaurant. We noticed a not-so-appetizing smell, though. We were the only customers in the restaurant, from noon until 1pm. I was hoping to try their Aligot and sausage. I couldn't find it on the menu so I went with Ragu Pappardelle. It was ok, nice pasta, creamy sauce with ground sausage, though nothing special for $34.5. My wife took the Coquilles St. Jacques, at $38.5. It came with a brioche that was slightly burnt and a bit stale. The St. Jacques were baked in a béchamel. Nothing really special, it was a bit bland. Back home, we realized that they gave us the dinner menu, not the lunch menu. Interesting. Not sure we'll be back, which is unfortunate given the potential.

    Great experience here! Very personalized service, lovely room. Started off with tasty complimentary bread and butter and tried the fried cauliflower and braised brisket. Braised brisket was excellent!

    Service was great but food was average. The French onion soup was a little bland.

    The restaurant is very similar to going out to eat in Paris/France. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and excellent food and drinks. Everything is made fresh in house including their bread which will definitely reminds you of the fresh bread you get in Europe. All of the food was exquisite and you will want to try everything on the menu. Highly recommend this place for a nice meal or drinks. Specially if you're looking for something French inspired.

    Overly priced drinks and food for not much taste to it. Our server was great and helped manage our table well since we were a big group, however, the ambience, the taste in food and alcohol just was all blah!

    First time dining here. I liked the simple but sophisticated menu with plenty of choice between different meats and seafood. I loved the potatoes and crab cakes to start and the nicely seasoned sole from the main course. The brisket was delicious. The Thursday night special of cheese fondue was tempting, but we liked to try more different dishes as we were worried the fondue would be too overwhelming, but will definitely go back to try!
