    This is a very nice bistro in a great location on Cincinnati's Fountain Square. Don't miss the eggplant appetizer...might just be the best app in town!

    Scallops (both appetizer and main dish) were beautifully cooked and presented. We enjoyed the drink menu as well!

    We had an amazing dinner last night. The eggplant starter was absolutely out of this world. The presentation tableside made it super special. My Nicoise salad was excellent and the coq au vin that my wife had was juicy and delicious. They made our anniversary special as well. We will be back!
