    Go for the Gnocchi Parisienne, which combines French-style gnocchi with pulled lamb shoulder, lamb au jus, and stewed tomatoes. A well-thought out, "home-run" dish.

    Bistro Bordeaux is the cozy date place you've always sought but didn't know existed. And the salade Lyonnaise is the ideal starter for the rich entrees to follow. Read more

    Excellent and generous portion of salmon with masala preparation. Tasty appetizer endive salad suitable for two. Prices commensurate to other fine French restaurants.

    Ask Pascal to choose a great wine to go with your entree... And the steak frites are the best you'll find anyplace!

    Great food; a little weak on service sometimes.

    Between the four of us, we covered half the menu and there wasn't anything that wasn't AMAZING. Easily the best French food I've had in the city.

    Nothing amazing, at least for brunch. Good ambience, average to bad food. 2.5 stars.
