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.

My experience with the management staff person, Jennifer, was over and above!! We had a reservation for 7 in the dining area, but when we arrived, we were escorted to a high-top table in the bar area. Jennifer got involved and was able to secure a wonderful table in the dining room within a few minutes. My grandchildren, daughter, friend and I all had a delicious lunch. All the restaurant personnel provided excellent customer service and are to be complimented.
