Excellent French bistro. Has everything on the menu you would expect with the decor to match. It is pricey- as are most of the restaurants in town. Service was as we had become accustomed to in town. Very business like, not particularly friendly but not rude - somewhere between French and Italian.

Delicious French bistro. Atmosphere is great.
Had the waffle with roe and turbot in lobster bisque. Both were very tasty but I was honestly still a bit hungry after leaving.

Staff is friendly.

Pricey but worth it. Food was excellent, perfectly cooked and served in great portion size for the cost. We were able to snag a table for 2 without a reservation, which is great if you have plans change at the last minute like ours did.

Excellent food in a bistro environment. Escargot were some of the best we’ve had. Mussels were on point. And the steak frite was a delicious ribeye. Service was efficient and pleasant.
