    Not quite Billy Sud but our two entrees (cod and sea bass) were spectacularly good.

    As always, both the food and service were amazing. Our server recommended some new things to us (duck, cod and mint chip ice cream). Which were all great recommendations and not things we would have necessarily picked ourselves!

    #1 - if you want us to write reviews, please do not make it so hard (two separate verifications - both cell and email - seriously??) Regarding our dinner - it was excellent. Great food, wait staff and options. Only knock was a rather 'stingy' pour for my wife on Prosecco. Considering it was likely a $18-$20 bottle - was disappointing.

    The food is outstanding! Everthing on the menu is delicious, but my favorites are the bibb lettuce salad, the sea bass, the burger, the creme caramel, and -- especially -- the fries. It noise level can get a little too lively at moments, but it's worth it to experience the food and the service.

    We lived in France many moons ago and are always on the lookout for good French restaurants. Pleasant dining experience with very good food. Staff was friendly and attentive. We had Soupe a l'oignon, Soupe de Poisson, Confit de Canard and Potato crusted Saumon, all were very good. Will be going back.
