The food and the drinks were definitely top-notch. My concern came with the length of time it took for the food. Our reservation was for 5:30 PM and we did not even leave until 8:40 PM because our food took so long.

Quaint little hidden spot away from the bustle of the market. Top notch service and an inviting menu. Escargot and smoked salmon plate are both winners.

Had a very memorable anniversary dinner here last night. Our server Daniel was impeccable even though two of his compatriots had called in sick leaving him to man the floor. He maintained his calm and never showed the pressure he must have been experiencing. From my old restaurant days he took one of my nightmares and made it a walk in the park. Food was outstanding--so flavorable, so authentically French. We absolutely loved the entire experience--hat's off to the team for making us feel so welcome and delivering on a truly gourmet dinner.

We went for dinner about 2 hours before the symphony. The service was excellent and dinner was very good but we did not receive dinner until about 15 minutes before we planned to leave. The noise level is almost unbearable; we could hardly hear our server or have a discussion without straining to hear each other. It would be relatively easy to install some baffles on the walls or ceiling to cancel noise.
