“ This place deserves a 5* I came here 2x for lunch and this time around I ordered the soup of the day ( butternut squash) it was delicious and the orange crepe was also delicious! Service excellent both times! Happy hour menu 4-7pm everyday food and drink options on here. The first time here I ordered the mussels it was okay not covered in sauce so it was more plain I wouldn’t order that again, and I also tried the flat bread that was the best I ever had! ”
“ This restaurant was truly a phenomenal experience! The host that greeted me and my friends was immensely nice and helped us quickly get a table, and our waitress the entire time was properly attentive (coming around enough to check on us and refill the water, but not too little where we were neglected, and not too much where she'd be a nuisance, she was perfect!) The atmosphere of the restaurant is immaculate, it's clean, and looks like a nice little French brasserie, with great music playing through speakers at a good volume level, fully establishing an immersive environment. The food, wow, was delicious! I ordered the whole artichoke as an appetizer which came with a delightful vinaigrette over what might usually be a mayonnaise dip, and it was a far better alternative. The artichoke was cooked properly, and overall tasted great. My meal was the steak tartare with the frites which was beautiful. The frites were perfectly crunchy and a good size, with the tartare itself refreshingly good, a bit spicy, yet cool and light in the sense where I didn't feel overly full and gross after a few bites. For dessert I order the floating island and a cappuccino. Now the floating island was perfectly crafted, the creme anglaise was so delightful and the merengue with caramel on top was so light, fluffy, and the proper amount of sweet, creating this whole flavorful experience that I recommend everyone ought to try at least once. The cappuccino was a good way to end the meal, executed correctly, it was a great addition at the tail end of a delightfully delicious food parade. Overall I highly recommend this establishment to all, it's in a nice location, it looks stunning (it has an open kitchen where you can see the magic), the service was good, and the food is some truly amazing French food, I will most definitely be coming again! ”
“ Delicious and wonderful service! New Year’s Eve was packed and they had the best party in the mall! I tried the pate and it was deliciously served with an iced cold Stella Artois... great music, great vibe, fast and kind service. Compliments to Gonzalo and all bartenders! Happy new year and cheers!! ”
“ This place is amazing. Sasha, the waitress, was very polite and knowledgeable. I'm definitely coming back! Really 5 stars plus. They offer a brunch special but I just asked for the best dishes for a hot summer day. ”

“ I really like this place and go often. Especially like it for affordable oysters and gnocchi on happy hour. Food is good there. Really love when the bread is soft and fresh but it happens 50/50. It's like a separate point of pleasure. Staff is exceptional, always pleasant and friendly to everyone We will be back again and again. ”
“ This is a great restaurant if you would like to feel like you are in France eating their tasty food. We always get the Gnocchi and Oysters(which are very very fresh) Excellent french wines!
