    Thoroughly enjoyable with excellent food and ambiance. The waiter was excellent; great service while not hovering. My birthday announcement in Open Table was ignored and the music, a delightful surprise on a Thursday night, was a bit too loud. Can’t wait to return.

    We have dined here many times, and our most recent visit was up to their usual high standards. Authentic French bistro menu and ambiance, attentive service, great food (recommend boef bourguinon, onion coup, calamari). Better than other French options in town.

    After giving the server mild ribbing over the soft serve “swirl” actually not being a swirl and that the cookies that normally accompany not present, the manager came by and offered some cookies that had been set aside (baker was absent that day) and to comp us the non-swirl swirl. We accepted the cookies and declined the comp, but it was a GREAT gesture!
