French culture, in a vibrant, social atmosphere that captures all the charm of traditional brasseries
and iconic alfresco dining of France. An all-day menu features authentic French cuisine utilizing
seasonal, local and organic ingredients, and consists of iconic lighter fare such as oysters, tartare and
prawns provençal, in addition to heartier classics like coq au vin and beef bourguignon. Inspired by the

    Thanksgiving pre fixe menu was a huge disappointment. We sat 15 minutes before even getting water. There was an absurd wait between course, each of which was colder than it should have been, except the pie which had clearly just been pulled from the freezer and had little flavor. Courses were missing ingredients listed on the menu, and the Brussels sprouts were mushy. My n.a. Cocktail was very good, and that was the only bright spot.

    Waiter late about 30 minutes to our table . Dining very early! Salad came with no dressing or pomegranates as per menu, and very salty. Soup was good still salty. We asked for a water bowl for our quiet dog and it never came. Salmon was way over cooked and dry. No validated parking waiter told us it’s validated on the street which was already free as it’s a holiday and after hours? No silverware had to ask each time? We were given giant spoons for eating desserts which were small pies? No dessert fork? Had to ask for rolls and butter. Asked for coffee after dinner never offered and it finally came but was burnt! No non fat or whole available

    One of my favorite spots especially for the Tuna Nicoise Salad. It’s a large enough serving to split in half. I took half home. It was loaded with flavor from the blend of tomatoes, avocado, olives, haricots verts, Yukon gold potatoes, mixed greens, and of course the rare tuna. Delicious! The service was very attentive and personable.

    A wonderful dinner for Beaujolais Nouveau day. We started with salad verte and fried calamari followed by lobster bisque and ended with 1lb moule frites that all was in a garlic, wine & spinach sauce. We ended with a very large & delicious tart au citron with fresh raspberries. Thank you all.

    The service and happy hour deals were great but I was disappointed by my main. I got the catch of the day and there were pin bones in my fish, it was pretty salty, and some of the vegetables were undercooked.
