Good for special occasions

A magical South Minneapolis restaurant by Food and Wine Best New Chef Jamie Malone. French food makes an exciting comeback in this 70 year-old sweet and easy going restaurant space. The menu is designed to be enjoyed for many occasions, including a casual roast chicken dinner; a multi course meal of chilled shellfish, beef tartar and salads followed by entrees and dessert; or simply a smattering of small plates and sherry to be shared among friends.
We also specialize in creating special events for group dining!

Happy New year's eve menu .. :) Over the top ribeye with shaved black truffles and fois gras. Decadent as it gets, certainly not shy about pricing .. great salads to start. First time I haven't had to wait for my table here (ever!) .. well orchestrated pacing. Quality was as you'd expect.

All the staff were exceptional- friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and pleasant. Our waiter Paul had incredible knowledge of the food and the wine. One of our best meals ever!

The food was great but our server was distracted and inattentive. He pretty much disappeared for the second half of our meal. He was probably trying to cover too many tables.

Celebrating Christmas! Outstanding food and service- a little pricey but worth it for a special night out. Uniquely French bistro right here in Minneapolis!

Best gourmet food I've had in Minneapolis in a long time. Simple, bold flavors, beautiful and creative stuff happening here! Fun little extras came out from the chef more than once. Highly recommend. Lives up to the hype.

We were seated in the back room. Our table was way to big for 4 people. The room was filled with large groups and one group was a 30th because celebration of 12 women. We could not talk to each other it was soooo loud. The food was good but super slow. Very disappointing.
