    I’ll chalk it up to it being Christmas Eve but the whole meal was a disaster I had to send the escargot back It had chunks of kosher salt on it couldn’t taste anything. Things didn’t get brought to the table- sauces and cocktails and the steak was so fatty It was almost an inedible. A terrible cut of meat. The waiter was very good. We could tell that maybe the chef wasn’t there or something was really off and they were trying to make the best of it but overall, it was a horrible meal very expensive and a real disappointment.

    My husband took me to the chestnut hill location for my bday and our food was amazing. Since we had family in town for the holidays, we decided to go to the Tremont st location. It did not disappoint. The escargot were as good as any I had in Paris, a lot of flavor. We also got the French onion soup which was delicious and fitting for a cold Boston evening. Lotsssss of cheese! Our entree was a duck and mushroom risotto that they split for us- also very good. We will definitely be back but probably for special occasions as it is on the expensive side.

    Post Ballet dinner. Both light eaters so we shared starter/entree /side. Fig tart/duck risotto/mushrooms. All lovely. Service was perfect. We were a small tab but treated to great service. The warm crusty french bread was lovely too. We’ll be back!

    Service was poor. It took over an hour to receive our food after placing order. Also our waitress was double masked so it was difficult to communicate with her.
