    Excellent combination of herbs and spices for each dish we enjoyed: salmon over caesar salad; flank steak; frites; soft ice cream/pear/caramel dessert. Very much a cut above and reasonable prices.

    Lovely relaxing lunch with friends/colleagues in a comfortable booth seat. Service was attentive but gave us space to visit between decisions and courses. Salads and starters were delicious, and our main courses were all excellent. We tried each dessert and they were all exceptional.

    Thank you so much Gary! Your kind words mean a lot to us. I couldn't agree more with you about our desserts! Can't wait to serve you again soon. Cheers, The Bon Delire Team

    The ambiance and service were top notch. The place looks like it only seats 40 people and it looked like there were 20 folks working there. The service was exceptional. We had just two dishes, bread & desert. The escargot my wife had was very poor. We ordered bread expecting the escargot to be in butter as is traditional but it was dry. She found the shallot port marmelade along with garlic wierd. The menu suggested it had garlic butter but it was dry, with nothing to sop up with the bread (half the fun of escargot in every other french version we've had). AND they covered it with a layer of grated parmesan which didn't work. To their credit they took it off our check. On the other hand, I had the salmon in coconut nage with smoke salmon roe. I do not remember ever having a better piece of salmon. It was cooked to perfection resulting in an almost custard like texture within and crispy skin. The sauce was heaven and the smoked roe was a beautiful counterpoint. We also had the ice cream sundae with caramel sauce and bits of poached pear which was good (the only gluten free desert option). I was surprised that they did not have eau d' vie to finish off. If I was in the neighborhood I'd eat there again for the hospitality and that salmon.

    Thanks for your review, Jeff. Glad to hear you enjoyed our salmon dish and the dessert. Sorry to hear the escargot wasn't a hit for you. We strive to offer the best in classic bistro faire and will take your comments under consideration. We hope to see you again and maybe you could try our chocolate mousse with olive oil and sea salt(another gluten free dessert option we offer). Kind regards, The Bon Delire Team
