Watch out for the table-to-table shakedown for the band. Say, 'I only have 50s, sorry.'

The seared tuna salad (a special) is really tasty and light.
Margot EMay 22, 2013
The service was a bit of a turn off. I probably won't be back because the wait staff was so rude. Also, they only accept cash and American Express.

The service was good. The ratatouille was terrible, and our appetizers were oily. If you're in need of a French food fix, Jolie (on Atlantic Ave.) is a wonderful alternative.
