   Reception was off putting: the host was haughty and beckoned us from the front door, rather than graciously greet us. Otherwise, the service was friendly, though with hiccups, e.g. we ordered wine by the glass, but we were not shown the bottle (big no no as the customer would like to know that we get what we have ordered). Food was overall good with interesting flavours, but a touch on the cool side. We were given a high table, tough we had ordered a standard table.

   A lovely gem of a bistro, quiet for a near weekend evening. We both had a French onion soup that had rich flavor, great umami and was perfect for a cold night. My lamb chops were tender with a nice char to offset the sweetness of the meat, the cassoulet that accompanied was the right accompaniment instead of a starch, and my wife enjoyed her duck confit. A nice Chablis and two very good desserts finished the experience. Our server was attentive and not at all stuffy and we felt welcomed. Will go back a lot.

   This restaurant has been one of our favorites over the years. We were a party of 8 coming after a Christmas concert. It was early but the atmosphere was so pleasant, quiet with an attentive waitress, not hovering but there for our every need. The food was wonderful. Two of the diners had never been there. The women had researched the dessert menu and had the bread pudding. It did not disappoint They will be coming back. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening.
