The food is authentic French and a gem of a restaurant. The staff are attentive and eclectic. Very thoughtful touches with the album cover menus and more. I would make a trip there for the cous cous alone. But everything on the menu is delicious.

Everything here is always amazing and the staff is always nice! My go to is the mussels, Africana. They are my favorite mussels period. I do think the DJ being so loud at dinner time made it more difficult to have conversation.
