Hostess did not great us upon arrival. There were three tables. Three servers. After we were seated, we waited endlessly for a server to arrive at the table. We were repeatedly left without water wondering where any server was. Once our check was dropped off, it was never picked up. My husband had to track our server down to pay. Abysmal. Also, there were no towels in the bathroom to dry hands on. The chefs do their job, but front of house are unengaged and lazy.

Food and ambience were lovely albeit the music was too loud in the beginning. MR filet mignon overcooked, but they did remake a perfectly done one, just sadly came when the rest of the table had finished their entrees. I think I server was too challenged working both floors. Left happy despite the unfriendly welcome of the hostess who insisted there was no way I had been confirmed a table upstairs for Christmas Eve, since they only seat first come. Oddly I did have a phone conversation before the restaurant advertised for the holiday season, but oh well. Bon Appetit .

Have been wanting to come try and decided to come for Christmas Eve dinner. The coc au vin was excellent! I’ve been throughout France several times and it immediately took me back from the first bite. My son stated his linguine and lobster was very good as well. Chapeau to the chef and staff. Definitely will pop back in again soon.

Great environment. Very good bistro menu. Onion soup good but very overpriced. Quiche was excellent. Rosé was superb. Service was sophomoric. Kids need training on the menu. They looked good in the outfit. Overall it has potential but the servers need a lot more coaching.

My third time at this delightful French Bistro, but it was not a charm. Sat upstairs to be away from hubbub at the bar and the door, but it may have impacted the entire experience because of the distance from the bar and the kitchen. Server was not around to put in drink order, so placed w the kind manager who passed by! Chicken mousse was delightful, again! Both Hangar steaks were undercooked, came without bernaise sauce, so sent back and it was cooked nicely but still was not hot. Bouillabaisse was deconstructed w/ a platter of nicely cooked fish but instead of broth a cup of also unheated thick gravy? Trout was outstanding. The server was not upstairs whenever we seemed to need her, so generally inattentive. Never got her name so when we said, “miss” to get her attention three times, the last one louder, she asked us if we were ok? Dining upstairs may be a work in progress…to get drinks timely and food to patron hot!

3rd time there. Food continues to get better. Service continues to get worse. Doesn’t refill water, checks wrong, cards missing, ordered items missing, incredibly slow bar, etc. if they can fix the service it will be amazing.
