Fun place to drink when there's live music, but service leaves much to be desired. Cash/Amex only.

For the best service be a Francophile ... Or a regular. Or both.

What better way to savour the true French experience than a spot of pétanque and pastis on Bastille Day? Anyone for some BabyFoot? Read more

Meh. Dinner wasn't that exciting. French fries are tasty and pan seared fish special was good. Outdoor seating was lovely. Moules were flavorless
Tanguy CoenenDecember 9, 2009
had a great cocq-au-vin and they have draught blonde leffe. nice live music, too...
christineFebruary 2, 2011
They do not have half-price wine night on Mondays. The wine, however, is reasonably priced.
suzanne stouteOctober 2, 2011
Avoid this place! The bread came to the table cold and our waitress said the staff were to busy to heat it up! Then it took more than 45 minutes for a plate of mussels to arrive and they were bland!

arguably best bar in the area for hanging out in nice weather
Katie ChildsDecember 4, 2014
Expensive & kinda smells like toilet, but in that way, very authentically French.
