Great food! We got Chicken Tinga Tacos and Sirloin enchiladas. My $5 Margarita was beautifully presented. There being a slight chill in the air, I was given a cozy, bright red throw to put over my legs. A delightful and tasty experience.

I brought my boyfriend and his parents here to eat for his birthday. We ordered the busicuits for appetizers, they were so delicious 10/10. The margaritas was a perfect blend 10/10. Overall there were no complaints about the food at the table. Everything was well portioned. 10/10!! I would most definitely go back and recommend to friends and family.

We were seated right away. The atmosphere is so very French! Very quaint - tall lighted candles on each table. Waitress was very nice. Food was excellent! French onion soup is best ever with slices of beef short rib - wow! Gnocchi was mixed with veggies in a delightful Gruyère sauce. Escargot was tasty and the Salad Chèvre Chaud outstanding! The bartender makes a very nice old fashioned too!
