    They allowed us to split the prix fixe so was able to try a variety of meals. Escargot, salmon + chicken, crème brulee. Good portions and coffee to finish. Great vibes and people watching from the window

    The food was mediocre, the service was ok, even though we got our “first” dish half an hour after finished the second one. We really wanted to like this place but alas it wasn’t meant to be.

    Pesto salad and Salmon Roti were delicious — excellently prepared. Extensive wine list. My dinner companion loved her onion soup and boeuf bourguignon. The attention to decorative detail gives the dining area an old world feel that is enhanced by the lovely wall of mirrors.

    We went for the tapas on a Tuesday. It was wonderful! Street parking was easy. The menu was varied enough we all found something to love among the small plates. The beef tartare and sweet potato tempura were favorites. Everything was delicious and the sauces were extremely flavorful. We will be back next time we come through Boston.

    The appetizers and main dishes were fantastic. Did not love the creme brulee -- something was off. But we will go back!

    I love this French restaurant! The food and service were both excellent. And we could hear each other speak! So glad it opened close to us!

    Great food, small menu but good choices. Friendly wait staff. Very small bistro tables so a bit challenging with three people at the table! But cozy!
