Small but tasty oysters to begin; fresh crunchy “petite salad” followed. And fork-tender beef bourguignon — such a perfect counter weight to a chilly winter’s night. All capped off with a warm apple crisp and a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Magnifique.

Then, because we were right next to the door we could see the host or manager (a mid 40’s short bald man) mocking us. Disgusting! Would expect more from a nice restaurant

We all had different dishes and everyone was happy with their choices. The onion soup and steak were outstanding. They split the onion soup into smaller portions if you ask which is nice. My only negative and this is a lettuce thing: they CHARGE YOU $3 IF YOU REQUEST A LARGE ICE CUBE IN YOUR COCKTAIL!!! IN PRINCIPLE ALONE THIS IS WRONG.

Friendly and helpful service, great cocktails and wines (including champagne) by the glass. The baguette is so good that a visiting friend from France told me it was better than any he had ever had there. On this visit we enjoyed briny oysters on the half shell and Caesar salad (salty but divine) before a delicious salmon with lentils and steak frites. Tart Tatin was sublime. I have been going here for years and always had a fantastic meal.
