    Food and ambience were very good. However, the service left a bit to be desired though they might’ve been understaffed. Our waitress really never checked on us, we had to go to her to order more wine or ask for the bill.

    Quaint French bistro on the corner of Tampa Ave in downtown Venice with plenty of charm. The food was delicious. The ambience was very lovely in European style and the service was outstanding. Highly recommended!

    The food was just ok and the service was slow. They keep dirty rags touching the tap water pitchers. I don't know how clean the place is.

    We had made reservations for outside and they were not prepared for us. We arrived and there were no outside tables set for 4. We ordered wine and soup/entrees and the food came out before the drinks. And when I say food- 3 of us ordered soup and and 1 ordered an entree. Timing of the food was not planned- and the soup was cold. Our gentleman who had the filet said it was great- order this for $44. The waitress never came back to check on us and we had to go inside to pay. I love onion soup- it was bland, watery and had no flavor. Both of us did not eat our onion soup. Not looking for a discount, or anything- but would NOT recommend eating here and overall was a very poor experience . Sad, as we had hoped for a great meal and service. Skip and save your money
