    Nice experience overall. While name is totally French, relatively few menu items are. Beef bourginon which here is served over noodles wasn't accompanied by that thick clingy aromatic sauce that makes the dish.

    We live in the neighborhood and were looking for a place to go at the last minute. And as good luck would have it, something was available here for dinner. It is a fixed menu (you get to choose between two main course offerings), with a total of four courses for $75. Very good value for the quality of the food, the ambience and service. We will make this a monthly go to! Highly recommend! And to boot, Executive Chef Marc came out and spoke to his guests!
