    I booked a reso for my birthday with my friends on Friday for 6:30 and we were 30 mins late because of traffic&weather and they still accommodated us! Pedro was our server and he was so friendly and hospitable, and the food was delicious. He recommended the perfect dishes and they did NOT disappoint. He suggested us to stay until after 10 and we ended up staying all night! Best service ever we luv laissez faire <3

    The meal and service were amazing. We had the Escargot and Foie Gras to start which were both beautifully presented and delicious. Then we had the Trout Meunière and Half Roasted chicken which so flavourful and delicious. We added Brussel sprouts which were the best I’ve ever had with a maple glaze, and Frites. For dessert we had a chocolate souffle which was beautiful and heavenly. We were celebrating a birthday and it was the perfect place. Highly recommend! Also if you love wine the have the longest wine list I’ve ever seen. It was literally a book.
