    Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff. There is a good selection of wines and spirits. Menu is well sourced. Food is well presented. Our French onion soup was on the salty side but they were very kind and understanding and took it off our bill. All in all I would come back again!!

    Place was great. Our server was fantastic (forgot to get her name). Ate at a small table in corner of bar. Loud vibe but that is what we wear looking for…ordered the baguette…wasn’t what we expected and server switched it for house rolls with no charge. They were amazing. 2 great cocktails, shared a salad and steak frites w side of Mac and cheese. All were excellent!!!!

    Great service with a delicious french-inspired menu. The parker house rolls, escargot, hanger steak, and duck crepe were all lovely. It does feel like a proper french bistro in the heart of Palo Alto.

    ALEXA was an excellent server. So attentive despite being the only waiter in the room. She was prompt, had attention to detail and overall a great presence in the restaurant. The food was excellent as always, a great venue for our anniversary dinner. Loved dining at 5pm, being the first ones in the room and watching it fill up. Always 10 out of 10!

    Had set menu for Valentine day . The foods were good but little overprice ( maybe it's Valentine ) . That's why it has low mark on value
