    We make it a point to eat here before taking in a play at the theater nearby. Our server was attentive and the food is always very good. I strongly recommend the beef tartare, french onion soup, asparagus in mornay sauce and the French dip sandwich. Great ambiance as well. Lively but not too loud. Thanks Little Frenchie!

    Ok place, our server was not very attentive, nice, but just a general friendly server. Would of preferred a refill of water or coffee before my cup/glass was empty. We went for breakfast and its wasn’t busy, so not sure why it took very long for our food, pastries and service to be delivered. My favorite part was the hot chocolate, super delicious. I would just go again for that alone.
    Little FrenchieResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the hot chocolate—it’s a favorite of ours too! That said, we’re truly sorry the overall service and pacing didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll use your comments to help improve our attentiveness and efficiency, as your satisfaction is very important to us. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to deliver the warm and seamless experience we strive for.

    Underwhelming again. Second visit here & very disappointing. To echo another reviewer, quiche was incredibly over salted and the crust was tough due to heating preparation. Scallops were average at best. We especially enjoy French cuisine and I have to say I find it somewhat surprising to see this as Michelin recognized….third time will not be the charm!
    Little FrenchieResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are deeply sorry to hear about your disappointing experience, especially given your appreciation for French cuisine. The issues you’ve described regarding the quiche and scallops fall short of the standards we hold ourselves to, and we truly regret letting you down. We take your comments to heart and will be reviewing these concerns with our culinary team to ensure improvements are made. While we understand your frustration, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to restore your confidence in us.

    The onion soup is marvelous - great flavors and textures. Don't expect to look lady-like with the cheese that doesn't stop.
    Little FrenchieResponded on December 12, 2024
    Bonjour Karen! We love hearing that our onion soup is a crowd-pleaser! It's definitely a hearty and indulgent dish. Love your lady like comment, the cheese truly adds to the magic of the dish! Hope to welcome you back soon.
