                                  This restaurant provides excellent food and service in a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Their Christmas Day menu was spot on with perfectly prepared food. The snails starter were absolutely delicious. They pay close attention to the details. If you are looking for authentic French cuisine this is the place for you.

                                  A country French inspired and focused menu that was impeccably presented. The dishes were delicious... scallops with risotto, rack of lamb, and beef burgundy... a bistro atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows providing an elevated downtown fine-dining vibe. Add in the terrific service providing the food and wine, and the Christmas lights on Venice Avenue right across from Centennial Park and you have... well... a lovely dinner to celebrate the season's Happy Holidays!!!
