   This is a very pleasant, delicious place to eat good French food, with attentive service. I highly recommend it for both lunch and dinner.

   A true gem in old Bonita springs Two nights a week dinner is served and it’s very good I had scallops and the others beef bourginon and French onion soup True to the French vibe service is SLOW but you’re on vacay in Florida so what’s the rush? It’s an old house with a charming shabby chic porch and now very near to the new sugar shack outdoor music venue so you can almost hear that too We will be back merci!

   Great dinner and wonderful ambiance on the deck. Escargot and French Onion very tasty with wonderful flavors. The Beef Bourguignon was prepared well with much favor. Dinner crepe was flavorful and filling. Deserts were taken from the case inside as dinner was very filling. We’ll be back. Love this place!

   This was our first time at Survey. We found to be very nice and we will come back. A couple of suggestions though. The Foie Gras didn't say it was a terrine. We were expecting a seared foie gras. It was good, just not what we were expecting. Also, we had the soufflé. I expected some creme anglaise to accompany the dessert, but it came with a small amount of ice cream. The scuffle was slightly dry. I expect the base was pre-made, which is typical. It had a nice hint of Grand Marnier. The bread was excellent, wine was decent and service was friendly and helpful. Overall, a nice experience.

   This gem of a restaurant located off of side street in downtown Bonita Springs is an amazing find. Located in an old Florida style cottage with a surrounding patio surrounded by beautiful plantings large trees takes dining alfresco to the next level, combined with one of the best tasting menus I’ve experienced in the area. This is a great spot for next level tasting and prepared, continental cuisine in a very relaxed And unpretentious location. The restaurant appears to be family operated, and the service was very attentive and relaxed , impeccable, and all very knowledgeable of the menu and various options. Everything we ordered was a highlight from the honey glazed Brie appetizer. The escargot are a must the French onion soup is another must and we had the duck Which was prepared, exquisitely, and perfectly we were recommended and glad we enjoyed a Grand Marnier soufflé that was large, but light as air and made for a perfect ending as we had our last few sips of sparkling wine by the way, the wine list, while not the largest in the area offers very sufficient and complementary selection at very, very reasonable prices. We will be back. Be sure to check out the variety of items to take home baked fresh.

   Friendly small cafe in the heart of downtown Bonita Springs. Food and service was very good. The owner Sophie came to our table to chat. She is lovely and cares very much about her business

   There last night for the first time with friends who have gone there a few times. I'm a foodie and have to tell you, Was phenomenal!!! I looked at the menu and saw their signature dish. I ordered that. Mongolfiere of The Sea: (signature dish) Cassolette of Lobster, Shrimp, Cod & Scallops, Baked in a Curry-Ginger Coriander Cream Sauce Encased in a Puff Pastry. Don't miss this! One friend had the Old Fashioned Salmon: Fresh salmon snacked with cream and old fashion French mustard served with Basmati rice & sautéed vegetables. And the Salade Lyonnaise: Freshly cut Romaine, Bacon, Golden Pan Fried Crouton, Poached Egg with a Light mustard dressing that is soo good!! We sat on the patio in back where the parallel to the small parking lot. The server Melissa was great. She was Helpful with any questions about the menu. Things were not rushed, timed perfectly. Have already mentioned this place to friends and will get back here soon. We live in Naples and was grateful to have heard of this gem from my friend. And only a 5 minute ride to the Center for the Performing Arts on Bonita Beach Rd.
