Au contraire.This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024

    My overall experience was good. It was just damaged by the table beside us which were extremely loud, but that is not the restaurant's fault. The other thing I did not like was the waitress bringing the check before I asked for it, made me feel as if they wanted me to leave quickly. Other than that, the food was amazing, the bread is to die for, and the pasta was remarkable. I will definitely be going back.

    Your prototypical neighborhood restaurant and bar that’s achieved something of a landmark status over the years (thus, attracting patrons and actual tourists from greater distances) for serving hearty meals, providing warm attentive service (by waitstaff, some of who have decades of tenure) and by offering a level of conviviality, bonhomie and ambience that makes you feel as if you’re dining with family and friends. Please forgive the evident bias in my review. I’ve been a proud “member” of The Casa (as it’s known by we locals) Family since 1971.
