Whenever I go here I wonder why I don't come here more often. It's great food in a wonderful environment with amazing staff & owner.

From the Owner-Chef, throughout the entire staff, the service and attentiveness are an absolute joy to experience. They top this with the Food, which is absolutely incredible! Haven't been? GO!

Philippe the chef is the nicest man ever, and if you get there before 5:30 I believe, you can get the 3 course early bird special, which is basically the regular 3 course menu but wayy cheaper

To me, the perfect Filet Mignon has a salty, crispy outside, and tender, juicy, medium rare center. Sad that they totally missed a good sear on the filet... Also the bass & oxtail dish was too salty..

Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin was amazing, french toast was phenomenal. Was a great choice to celebrate our birthdays.

Came here for our anniversary and loved every moment of this place. Superb service and outstanding cuisine.

Their coconut basket with fresh fruit is amazing and very light and guilt free. Their chocolate lava cake was a disappointment, however. Mussels were a great app, comes with delicious fries

Great neighborhood restaurant! All of the food was exceptional. And the chef made sure to stop by every table for thanking everyone for coming. I'll definitely be back!

Best prixfixe deal around! $37 3 course meal from 5-6, Sun-Th. Every dish from apps to the duck to the French toast was so finely crafted

Hospitable service and a decadent, comforting meal. Get the half glasses of wine, to try more of the great selection.

Intimate setting but tables are too close together so it feels like others are in your space. Great service and generous servings of wine by the glass. Chef greets everyone. Food was nice. Dessert ok

The trio of salmon and filet mignon with bone marrow are absolutely amazing. Also the French toast for dessert is soooo good.

Great food and service. Black cod was great. Get the salmon trio and Vol Au Vunt (mushroom tart)

The Food is Incredible! The Service is Amazing! But the Wine List is an OMG!!!
Simon TanNovember 9, 2017
The French toast dessert really stood out as being amazing, but everything else was quite mediocre. Come between 5-6pm for a 3 course early bird special!
Mihika VermaJuly 10, 2016
The foie gras (special) and French toast are amazing. I loved the bouillabaisse as well
Hana NaJuly 9, 2013
WINNING for yo belly :) French toast dessert with salted caramel ice cream is such a treat.
Elaine CourtneyOctober 6, 2011
I always get the filet mignon with foie gras on it, this is definitely their best entrée ever! Also, the French onion soup was rich and creamy. Divine!

William NgOctober 28, 2017
It’s alright. I enjoyed the dessert, but had higher expectations for the main course and appetizers.
Rose AJanuary 21, 2012
Don't be afraid to try the escargot. The Salade Landaise is also quite delicious.
Noël DuanAugust 30, 2010
Try their French toast with hazelnut ice cream for dessert. I wish they served this for breakfast.

Always filet mignon + foie gras for me, but since they stopped serving the latter, it's been a tad less impressive. Steak itself is still great! Rabbit (when available) = melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Lauren HSeptember 29, 2010
Seared foie FTW! Eat in the bar for a casual eve or do the early bird pre fixe for special occasion
shauna M.March 29, 2014
Waiter was not nice about my google glass. Did not communicate 2 the kitchen about my peanut allergy. Ruined our 2 year anniv & additional celebration that I won't mention. No free desert or anything.
Lor 🐒 rieJune 7, 2010
come on week nights or Sunday between 5 pm - 6 pm to get their prix fixe special!
