Great little spot for a classic and affordable French meal. Definitely recommend brunch! The steak sandwich and frites were fantastic. No frills interior but still cultivates a vibe with decor and a great playlist. Reminded me of Ratatouille in the best way. Will be back for dinner when we return to the area!

Highly recommended.
