- SSuzanneSan Diego •18 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the ingredients and meal preparation. We had the beef short rib hash, bavette steak and eggs, and herb omelette. The only complaint is the hash had too many potatoes and not enough beef. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the experience.More infoLittle FrenchiePrice: Moderate• French• Coronado•4.7

- DDenaWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWhat a wonderful place to be on Christmas day( Fantastic fixed menu, fantastic drinks and what a very attentive staff from front desk to service. I want to thank Bill, my server for the evening and all the wonderful team members who worked on Christmas day to make someone else s day special. The view from any point of view is breathtaking. The chef and team should take a bow for the menu and the bartender for a wonderful mango Durango cocktail. What a gem of a restaurant, so classy, so chic so special. Keep up the great 5 Star service. I also appreciate the many times the manager and staff checked on a single woman. I felt so special.More infoMister A'sPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary French / American• Downtown•4.9
