   Love everything about this restaurant, but it’s awfully loud. Could use some sound deadeners

   Wonderful atmosphere and vibe, and the classic French Bistro dishes are superbly executed. Every one was outstanding! Oysters (local) were amazing and very fresh. We really enjoyed the escargot, coquettes, endive salad, tartare and eggs with mayonnaise and crabmeat - all were stunning with each having a special take on the original. Excellent wine and very attentive service. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The space is lavish and authentic. There was music from a DJ and a classic film projected onto the back wall. Seating was comfortable and gave a great view across the bar and tables. Food was amazing, better than many of the good places we have eaten across France. We had a blast!

   We were extremely disappointed after the terrific reviews in the Chronicle. It was a cold evening and we were seated near the door and as the night got colder, they refused to close the door. They gave us light cotton shawls to cover our laps, but one of our party was so cold that we needed to leave before we could have coffee or dessert. It is very much of a happening scene so if you want to sit in a bar and chat with your friends you might have a good time, but we literally could not hear each other over the din of the DJ. The night manager told us that they have no control over the volume that the DJ plays. When our food showed up three people received their main course and the fourth diner did not receive his croque monsieur until we three had finished eating.  I recommend that the place do a soul search to decide if it is a restaurant or a bar.  We cannot recommend this as a restaurant.

   Had a fabulous meal! We sat outside- a bit chilly but there was a heat lamp and they gave us blankets. Our server, Rebecca, was fantastic! And definitely do not leave without an order of Madeleines for dessert.

   Outstanding French fare. We loved a sampling of Les Hors d’Oeuvres. The Caesar salad, truffle fries, steak tartare, asparagus, and cow cheese with apple butter were all outstanding. The baguette was delicious as well with perfect crunchiness. The pot de crème to finish was decadent - adding butterscotch was inspired. Alan provided absolutely delightful service. We had reserved an indoor table which turned out to be a bit too loud (we are old Gen-X-ers) so we moved to the outdoor Parisian style tables on the Embarcadero which were a little chilly but enjoyable. Not the place to go for a quiet, intimate meal, but a great spot for a lively experience. Excellent new addition to SF French dining in a boutique location.

    César salad is little too salty. Hanger steak very good. Love the ambiance. My husband ordered coffee after dinner. It never came, and we were not charged for it. They treated us to the dessert for his birthday. Greek operations manager very nice.
