    My husband took me to the chestnut hill location for my bday and our food was amazing. Since we had family in town for the holidays, we decided to go to the Tremont st location. It did not disappoint. The escargot were as good as any I had in Paris, a lot of flavor. We also got the French onion soup which was delicious and fitting for a cold Boston evening. Lotsssss of cheese! Our entree was a duck and mushroom risotto that they split for us- also very good. We will definitely be back but probably for special occasions as it is on the expensive side.
