We had made reservations for outside and they were not prepared for us. We arrived and there were no outside tables set for 4. We ordered wine and soup/entrees and the food came out before the drinks. And when I say food- 3 of us ordered soup and and 1 ordered an entree. Timing of the food was not planned- and the soup was cold. Our gentleman who had the filet said it was great- order this for $44. The waitress never came back to check on us and we had to go inside to pay. I love onion soup- it was bland, watery and had no flavor. Both of us did not eat our onion soup. Not looking for a discount, or anything- but would NOT recommend eating here and overall was a very poor experience . Sad, as we had hoped for a great meal and service. Skip and save your money

Everything was perfect! Brie and walnut salad, French onion soup, scallops and risotto, finishing with crème brûlée! Alice was the sweetest waitress and very knowledgeable about the wines.

This restaurant provides excellent food and service in a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Their Christmas Day menu was spot on with perfectly prepared food. The snails starter were absolutely delicious. They pay close attention to the details. If you are looking for authentic French cuisine this is the place for you.

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!!!
