Very goog French bistro. Outstanding dishes with a few misteps. Great endive salad, great peppercorn sauce and fries. Really tasty mousse. Too much cream on mouse, steak slightly overcooked. And noisy patron in low ceiling can be a problem. Overall a nice place.

Excellent meal overall. Very nice ambience that resembles French bistros. Escargot nicely prepared and came out bubbling hot. Confit of duck was delicious- crispy skin and meat tender and falling off bone. Not a fan of the white sauce paired with the duck as I prefer a sweeter sauce to counter act the rich fattiness of the duck. Crepes Suzette for dessert was light and a nice ending to the meal. Overall an excellent experience.

Always a pleasure dining here, limited and focused menu with many great French classic bistro dishes. Service is particularly excellent, friendly, unobtrusive, and great recommendations.
