                                  A country French inspired and focused menu that was impeccably presented. The dishes were delicious... scallops with risotto, rack of lamb, and beef burgundy... a bistro atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows providing an elevated downtown fine-dining vibe. Add in the terrific service providing the food and wine, and the Christmas lights on Venice Avenue right across from Centennial Park and you have... well... a lovely dinner to celebrate the season's Happy Holidays!!!

                                  Great little French restaurant. The service was exceptional and the server had a great knowledge of the wines as well as the good. Steak was the best and very tender. The only bad thing is I couldn’t eat anymore. You owe it to yourself to try this place. I have traveled long distances for a good meal but the best is right here in Venice.
