    Delightful, in Carmel, beautiful renovation, reasonable wine selection, and friendly staff & host. It took a very looooong time to be greeted by server & long time to get drinks. If someone had told us it would be a bit, we'd have appreciated being acknowledged & expected to be patient. Instead, quite a few staff passed by avoiding eye contact. 4 of us dined, 1 boulibaise, 1 steak frites, 1 coq a vin, and 1 salmon. Beautiful presentations, and steak cooked perfectly. Salmon was over cooked. Frites are a side on several dishes, and it seemed more variety is warranted. We will return!

    The crab Nicoise salad and the stuffed dates were excellent. The Coq-au-vin was just average. Excellent waitress!

    The staff was very friendly and attentive. Only complaint was the noise level. It was loud but not intolerable. (This has always been an issue for the space). Food was excellent and different than any other cuisine in our area. It was pricey, but worth it and totally the norm for restaurants in the area. We will be repeat customers. The meal was a complete culinary experience. The onion soup is a must try.

    Food was wonderful, the excellent wine sommelier helped us select the perfect red wine to go with our meal, and our server, Julian, was just super.
