Dishes were outstanding in quality, portions, sides and sauces. Even the pomme frites were on a different and higher level than your average french fry. It's always a special treat to dine here, whether a casual lunch or a special dinner. It's also a wonderful pleasure to have the same friendly, consistent and helpful staff, from Bernard to Raphael to Sebastian and Pascal.
