    Always great food. Service wasn't as up to par this time. They're now trying to insist on checking coats. Other than that, the best Woodbridge has to offer.

    I’ve always wanted to go to this restaurant and I see why it was crowded on a Thursday night, it’s very special.

    I’ve been to this restaurant a few times and it is a great authentically French bistro. Our guests and my husband raved about the food. I’m not a fan of of French food but still love the ambience and service. It was decorated for Christmas and we all had a lovely time.

    First time coming here and was pleasantly surprised by the level of attentiveness and service. Was a little intimidating at first as we don’t come to these kind of restaurants often, but the staff made it a nice experience. Food was great . Only wish they hadn’t taken away our leftovers. Overall , pleasantly surprised.

    Everything was outstanding, decor felt like I was in a old French mom and dad restaurant which me and my partner loved! Food was on spot every cooked to perfection as well as tasted better then anything I’ve ever had before. The only thing that I guess to complain about is the noise level raised quite highly around 7:00pm and up. (Try and book your reservation a week in advance if you want a romantic quiet night try around 5 or 6pm. Other than that very respectful staff that were on top of everything very professional and you could tell they love their jobs! definitely making this spot a special occasion date spot and will be back indefinitely.
