Excellent meal, thank you! I had Pork stuffed with a sour cherry mixture that was divine. Others at the table had escargot, lapin (rabbit) and a braised beef dish. The pork and the beef were our favorites. The staff was very attentive and accomodating.

Lovely atmosphere, incredible service, and delicious food. I wasn’t a huge fan of my cocktail the Coup de Chance but aside from that everything was so nice. Somehow got lucky enough to get a table for two during restaurant week (thank you to the staff). We got the Pork Farci, Escargot, Trout, ice cream and crème brûlée. Everything was so good and had so much flavor!!

We went for Restaurant Week, and it was such a lovely opportunity to try French food without breaking our wallets. Our server Bruno was so kind, attentive, and not to mention patient with us as he guided us through correctly pronouncing our orders in French! Each course was plated beautifully, and the silverware and plates were changed out seamlessly. The rabbit was tender, the trout was superb in the butter sauce, and the crème brûlée was the most magical lavender taste expedition I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend coming here for a fine dining experience, and if you have Bruno as your waiter you will be taken care of!

Came with high expectations but very disappointed. We ordered the duck breast and the rabbit. Both were VRRY dry. Worse than any average French place.
The foie gras was very good. And the staff were very friendly. That’s why the two stars.

Oof! I was not prepared for this deliciousness. Pricey but worth it.
I got a cocktail that had pineapple and anise. Um…. I forgot anise tastes like licorice. ????
But the crunchy, tangy butter salad was very fresh and satisfying.
And the steak w/ tarragon butter with the side of asparagus and pommes Anna (slivers of potato stacked like a lasagna, with crispy edges). MIND. BLOWING.
The creme broulee was creamy, tasty (not too sweet) and had that nice hard shell.
Everything was exquisitely cooked and seasoned to perfection.
Definite sticker shock at the bill but we had a meal to remember.

First impressions: Classy yet cozy Parisian neighborhood gem is a must for locals and out of town visitors alike. Wait staff donned in red vests are friendly as they are pros at hospitality. Tin cladded, high ceiling.. down to the French old school music playing in the background creates the perfect setting to enjoy everything that you’re about to order.
The food: Order everything! You won’t regret it! Well seasoned and executed menu at any level are hard to come by… in any city. This is a rare gem.

Absolutely delicious! We went for restaurant week and got the poached egg & mussels, escargot, trout, rabbit tagliatelle, apple spice cake, and creme brulee. We also ordered the truffle mac & cheese a la carte, which was totally worth it because it was one of our favorites! Other favorites were the egg toast, rabbit, and creme brulee, but everything was fantastic!

I went with my 16 yr old son last night for restaurant week specials for the 1st time. We were greeted and vaccine checked at the door per city guidelines. He is taking French in school as I did and we both wanted to try escargots and have some pretty authentic french cuisine. It was absolutely fantastic. The platings were simple and clean. We started with the escargot and endive salad, our entrees were rabbit and trout and to finish we had THE BEST creme brulee I have had in years....yes almost everywhere offers it now, but most places serve it ice cold (I was taught that is actually wrong) and have hardly no sugar crust to them. This was full coverage and had the perfect "crack" and was beyond a beautiful finish to a wonderful meal. Will definitely be back for special occasions.

We went for restaurant week and ordered from the prix fixed menu. Service was absolutely wonderful. Portions of everything was generous. House wine was a great treat alongside our dinner.

Fantastic foood!!! Best restaurant week meal everrrr!! I truly enjoy this place although having to wait almost an hour before our reservation time to come in. I think it is close on Monday and Tuesday? It was mostly crowded probably because the food is SUPERB!
We started with escargot (snails in butter and herb), and pate on bread and some side berries/fig/cream combination. Overall exciting stuff especially the combination. Main dish was: The roasted duck leg on cherry tomatoes is a must try! It combines the crunchy duck skin and well seasoned meat with sweet plum sauce and fresh tomatoes with a touch of bittle arugula. The other main dish we order was rabbit mustard with tagliatelle which is also very good but not as extraordinary as the duck. The special side dish that day was mac and cheese made with Comte cheese, also divine! Very ooey gooey and has a great smell. The desserts are okish given they sold our their signature creme brulee, but we got the caramelized puff pastry and cognac infuses berries and cheese which are all new tastes to our palate. Overall, very worth it. Spent around $60/person (tax tip included). Check them out!
