The food was amazing, but the service was terrible. We requested a patio table near a heater, but we were given the only table on the patio that didn’t have a heater nearby. We kindly asked if a heater could be brought over when one became available, but it was forgotten. The service was extremely slow. Our waitress was friendly, but she was never available when we needed her. It took more than an hour before we were able to place our food order. Because they were trying to close the kitchen on time, we were forced to order desserts while still eating our main courses. While I would still come back for food and happy hour, I will never host a birthday dinner here again.

It's a very nice setting, the French onion soup was the best, the entrees were not really authentic French style but overall fresh and the sticky pudding dessert was excellent! Limited wine list and the espresso came very cold, but they replaced with a hot one! Overall good!

The food were so-so for the price. The tapinade was salty. I notified Vanessa, our waitress and she said she would take it off the bill but did not. Sadly, I didn't realize it until after I got home.

Mixed quality. Steak tartare was good but toast was very burnt. Fish en papilotte was excellent, but steak was burnt and sauce was lacking in flavor.
