Sarah welcomed us and took some fun pictures of us around the beautiful tree and decorations. Adrianne was super attentive and offered great recommendations. I have been coming here for so many different occasions: work lunches, dinners, personal meet ups and today our first anniversary. The drinks were delicious. The food tasted like we were in Paris and the service was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful evening and of course - we will be back! I recommend the Coq au vin and the steak au poivre! The profiteroles and the cheesesteak were to die for with the amazing sauces on top.

Outstanding. Classic French Bistro fare done perfectly. Intimate, relaxing, Excellent service. Nice wine list. Consistently delicious no matter which dish ordered. Very nice very professional staff and service. You are welcomed and never made to feel rushed out. An unassuming little gem of a place tucked away on a side street. They know what they doing, have done it for years and they don’t disappoint. Make reservations and go early is my recommendation.
