Peter was the best waiter ever! Food excellent, albeit pricey, but we knew that when we went there. We didn't have to wait with our 7:30 reservations. Web site said corkage fee was $15 and they charged us $20.

It is so nice to have real French food! I am over going to places that call their menu "French". Tacos and not French. This place is the real deal, small, quite, quaint! I chose to go entree and ordered from the Starters and Sides in the vein of Tapas. What a great choise. Go, it's a must!
