    The fondue comes with a bounty of dipping vessels (broccoli, bread, apple slices and the like), plus the addition of a seared steak for a total of $24 or $18 for a vegetarian version. Read more

    Tuna tartare is terrific. Very fresh, and handsomely plated. Octopus looks a bit messy, but is perfectly cooked (not chewy or spongy, as is often the case). Works well with the potato puree.

    Incredible duxelles stuffed chicken. Extremely flavorful and exceptionally juicy. Appetizers are a standout as well; the terrine is meaty and the pork belly is crisp and satisfying.

    The chef insisted that the sauce is the key to a good French dish, and our meal was pretty convincing evidence. The duck dish was probably the highlight, and try to save room for dessert.

    The square LaFrieda patty used to make their hamburger weeps with beefiness, and comes smothered in tangy dill pickle relish and served with a side of greaseless fries.

    This restaurant's grilled flank, creamed broccoli, with sunny side up eggs, and hash brown potatoes is amazing! http://www.lefondbk.com/ Read more

    Fancy French food at a relaxed neighborhood restaurant. The meats (duck, pork belly, pork sausage) in the cassoulet are amazing!

    Non-traditional cassoulet! The hype is well-founded, as this was a hearty, delicious, and memorably unique and balanced take on the dish.

    I recently had an allergic reaction to nuts here- I think it was cross contamination with the bread which isn't made in house. People with nut allergies should be careful. But the soup I had was great

    The appetizers are often changing but always good. Very small, but worth trying one of two.

    Our server, Elisa, was warm and not shy with her recommendations. And they were pretty spot on.

    The food is outstanding but everything else is missing. Service is very slow. No one refills anything. No salt & pepper. Ordered duck moose & it came with one tiny cracker. And on and on

    Okay food, but laughably bad service. Dinner of appetizers and entrees took over 2.5 hours.
