   The ambiance was cozy and friendly; we started with the escargot and French onion soup, which were better than most; we had the duck confit and trout, both of which were cooked to perfection; the cocktails were delicious; the wine menu had many price points; the crème brûlée was served perfect temperature and was so good! We will return as our experience was superb!

   Food was ok not great, cups smelled awful. Cherry on top: The waiter refused to give us small plates to share desserts 😂 literally said “ you can just use the spoons”😂

   En tant que Québécois qui habite Nashville depuis peu, je devais absolument aller à ce restaurant au moins une fois. Nous sommes allé, ma femme et moi, à ce restaurant et nous avons tout les deux adoré notre expérience! Nous avons pu avoir un accord de vin avec nos mets et ceci était vraiment abordables et parfait. La nourriture était exactement ce que nous voulions, ce n'est absolument pas la dernière fois que nous allons à Once upon a time in France! Notre serveuse était merveilleuse et j'ai pu parler français un peu plus enfin. Ma femme a eu l'occasion de pratiquer son français aussi. We'll suggest this restaurant to our friends and family.

   Greeted at the door by the chef, my wife and I were whisked away (cooking pun there…) to the back room of the restaurant. There we were seated and greeted by an attractive server and had our special menu explained to us. We had the choice of escargots, a brief interlude of boeuf bourguignon, and I had the steak frites while my wife enjoyed the confit of duck. We were finished off with a traditional cheese plate with a variety of cheeses from around Europe. All the food items were fabulous and the wine pairings were perfect! I will complain that the portions were oversized for me. We were nearly full from the escargots, and the boeuf was a full dinner portion in itself. The ribeye steak was as the chef explains it “what Americans expect”. I can’t fault him for giving his customers what they want, although I personally would prefer a more authentic experience with a smaller skirt or flank steak and about half the amount of fries. To summarize: go there. Eat. You will not regret a thing!

   Excellent service with abundant staff that was still able to provide top notch service in a totally filled restaurant. All dinners were way above average and we wold order again.

   Ate here for a birthday dinner and it was absolutely incredible! We did the “Experience,” which is what they call their chef’s tasting menu. Each course comes with a wine pairing and literature on the dish. We learned so much about traditional French cuisine, and everything we had tasted amazing. Leah was an incredible server and really made our experience memorable. 10/10 would recommend!

   Grench onion soup was amazing. Steak & Frites were just ok. Need to also offer a higher grade of meat and increase price. Crème Brûlée was delicious’ Staff friendly!

    Delightful setting. The food, however, was a little disappointing. A basket of very ordinary bread was $5. Very good drinks and french fries were wonderful.
