Customer Reviews
Quaint French spot with great service. I took my grandparents here for lunch and it was chill and quiet enough for them. The wine selection is incredible and their specials rock! I chose this place because it was open on a Sunday and was able to seat 7 people. The food was great!
Met a friend for an early Saturday dinner before we went to a party. We sat on a sofa and it was quiet and cozy and easy to talk. It was only 5 PM so very early and there was (almost?) nobody there. So I guess if you want a more exciting vibe, this wouldn’t be it. At least not that early. Of the food itself I tasted only the duck confit salad, which was a huge disappointment—so covered in a heavy dressing that honestly, I wouldn’t have known if it had been chicken or tuna in the salad. The salad was otherwise acceptable. Drink selection not great unless you’re into wine. So I didn’t get anything. Wouldn’t come back, but maybe it suits some people.
Really, really wonderful food. Food doesn’t come out quick- but the quality is extremely high, especially for the price. Duck Reuben and Polenta sticks will knock you on your butt for the afternoon. It’s great for an afternoon spot to catch up with friend. Only challenge is the server isn’t super attentive- very nice, but you can’t be shy about asking for what you need.
Had a lovely dinner here with an out of town guest. Very good food, nice menu selection and specials as well as very good wine. The decor was charming and had nicely spaced tables for a compact space. Actually kind of surprised the restaurant was not busy at all for a Friday night, maybe because I had heard it is a fairly new establishment. Had the steak frites, duck breast, beet salad, fried cauliflower and creme brulee. All very tasty. Next time will try the classical specials such as cassoulet and cog au vin. Attentive and efficient service, nice music, very pleasant vibe.
Valentine’s Day 2026. They had a set menu only with 3 courses. It took 3+ hours for all of our food to come out with a 30 minute wait after being seated to take our order and 45 minutes between each course. An unfortunate experience overall, for us and other couples around us who seemed to be getting similarly slow service. The food was fine, but I would recommend looking elsewhere if dining here on a day where they may have a set menu.
