Au contraire.This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024

Excellent squid ink paella and appetizers. The paella required at least 20 minutes to prepare so let the wait staff know or order it ahead of the rest. Attentive service

Wow! We greatly enjoyed our Christmas Eve meal. We had a late seating and is typical during the Holidays. reservations were running a little late. No problem, our host walked us to the bar and saw that we were comfortably seated and introduced us to our bartender Jim -- who was great! Our dinner was excellent, all of our courses arrived in a timely manner and were well prepared. All the staff were both friendly and professional and added to our dining experience. The dining is beautiful any time of year, but especially for the Christmas Holiday.

The food was outstanding. Not many people in restaurant, but enough. Only one person serving the tables…NOT ENOUGH! He tried and was gracious but couldn’t meet the demand well. The music was extremely loud. All that said, we would absolutely return!
