Had a lovely experience! While it's amazing that the menu is switching in the new year, I loved the French cuisine provided by the restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff were pleasant. Great resto for our anniversary!

We had a very nice time here. Our reservation was for half an hour after opening for the evening so we were the only customers for about 45 minutes and ended up getting served by both waitresses over the period of being there. They were both very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent and way better than we could ever make at home (coque au vin and bouillabase for mains and escargot to start). I tried two different cocktails and both were delicious (one was "le notre negroni" and the other the "moulin rouge"). Dessert was definitely not a waste of money as it often is at so many places. Portion sizes were perfect. I left feeling fully satisfied but not bloated. Hate feeling bloated. It was an expensive evening, but for a special occasion and when the quality of the experience and food are like they were here, I think it can be justified.

Sampled the prix fixe menu. A modest salad, followed by a tasty coq-au-vin and a delicious flourless chocolate cake. Very satisfying.

lovely cozy small restaurant. Incredible french food and amazing wine. Great bar seating where you are not crammed in shoulder to shoulder like most restaurants. Was a random find on open table one night looking for a last minute reservation in the area, but will definately plan out meals there from now on.

The location is small but the decor feels thoughtful and intentionally makes the best use of the space. I would recommend making reservations for potential busy times like a weekend or Friday night because seating is limited! That said, I can appreciate that there wasn't an attempt to pack in more tables than necessary into the small dining area, it lends a much more cozy and intimate experience, especially with the attentive serving staff. The tasting menu exceeded our expectations with its well-executed classics-with-a-twist and their signature negroni is a must-have!
