Very mediocre restaurant especially for the price. Service was very slow. Food was nothing special. The decor and ambiance is dated and tired. The worst part of our meal unfortunately was with a Bloody Mary: one of us ordered a Bloody Mary with olives and one had a pit in it and a tooth was chipped. I would not come back here and head to one of the other wonderful restaurants in the area. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Horrendous food, certainly not authentic French, don't be fooled by the French name, there's no French cuistot there. Beef carpaccio was the only dish fresh and well prepared. The short ribs ravioli was mediocre at best, supposed to come with cremini, chanterelle mushrooms and truffle essence. There were a couple of paper thin slices of regular mushrooms, no chanterelles and not even a drop of chemicals based truffle oil, the sauce that came with it was watery and over salty, not close to a Cabernet 'reduction'. The toulousain cassoulet is to avoid at all cost!!! Tasteless white beans in watery bland sweet tomato sauce and dried out meat, some of it even tasted off like beyond safely edible. Cassoulet is supposed to be slowly cooked for hours, which makes the sauce so tasty and the meat flavorful and tender. None of this here, we saw the plastic pouches of beans being emptied into a copper saucepan and the pre-cooked meat added to the pot. We sat at a table next to the open kitchen and watched every single dish being re-heated, nothing is cooked fresh or from scratch here. The wine was good, too bad it was wasted with sub par food. Our waitress was excellent, she offered to bring other entrées but we didn't accept her offer, we ordered a cheese plate for dessert that was complimentary. Save your money and dine somewhere else, the food is mediocre and awfully expensive for such a low quality Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

A remarkable dinner on the bar patio. They initially offered us a table inside but we opted for the heated patio which was the best decision. Julien from the bar took excellent care of us guiding us through a leisurely dinner with no pressure to place additional orders or upselling us. He went so far as to work with the kitchen and ensure we could share everything. The asparagus was delicious and we soaked up every drop of the sauce with their delicious sourdough. We split the lamb, filet, branzino, and sea bass and each dish was fantastic and beautifully plated. I will absolutely come back and go so far as to insist on the bar/patio area Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Roasted Rack of Lamb
