The food was a little salty, and the service was a little slow, but not too bad. We got there at 5:15pm and we were the only ones there. I made the mistake of commenting on how empty it was and within 15 minutes of us arriving the place started filling up. The staff was so busy helping the sudden rush of people that they didn’t have much time for our table and parts of our order got forgotten, etc. They were all super nice though.

Food was great, service was attentive and quick. Very short wine list - apparently the idea is to visit the wine shop next door and buy a bottle instead. The glass of beaujolais I had was very good. Prices are quite reasonable for upscale French.

Overall, great experience! Love the wine dispenser setup to try several wines. We had the cod, beef bourguignon and cassoulet. All were good. I love cassoulet and this one was a bit watery and bland, so just ok on that dish. Great service and ambiance. Will be back to try other dishes. Nice that there is a French restaurant in the Old Market area.
