Perfect neighborhood bistro spot. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. Cocktails are incredibly well made. Absolutely loved the chickpea fritters and the cassoulet. Really romantic vibe for a quiet Valentine’s Day dinner!

Showed up right on time for our reservation. We proceeded to wait 45 minutes before being seated. They did give us complimentary champagne, and the host was very kind. After we were seated it took 15 minutes before our waters were filled or anyone even spoke to us. My wife and I are very relaxed and always error on the side of the server. We even thought we were being pranked at one point service was so bad. No one apologized or expressed any sort of concern for the wait and lack of service.

I hope we only caught them on an off night, as it seemed like most of the bones of a good restaurant were here. Our food was good, better than average, but not amazing. Cocktails were great but our server missed the boat on checking in with us after delivering our meal, keeping our water filled, asking if we wanted another beverage (when our glasses sat empty for quite some time), and returning to pick up the payment. I ended up going to the bar to get more water and ask for a second cocktail. I also had to get up and pay at the bar after waiting over 20 minutes for him to pick up our credit card and payment. What really irked me was the automatic 20% service charge added to our bill. I have no issue paying 20%, but the service better back that up if it is going to automatically be charged.
