   We love the small vibe of this restaurant, you feel like you are in someone's home. The service was great and the wine we choose was a win. There was 4 of us and we ordered 2 starters and 4 mains. The starters were calamari and beef Tartare bo, the both were good, matter of fact the calamari was exceptional. The steak and frites was pretty good, a very simple presentation. The boulliabaisse was fantastic, I would go back just for that. One person ordered a pasta dish and they enjoyed their dish. The weakest dish was the veal cutlet, it was honestly a dissapointment. The veal seemed almost chopped and formed and deep fried. So all in all I wouod go back but skip the veal.

   What a quaint bistro. Love that is is small and cozy. The food was fantastic as was the service. Make a reservation as it only seats about 30 people.

   Very good French restaurant with a limited number of dishes that they execute with perfection. The waiters were top notch! Highly recommend!
