    Truly wonderful experience. Jazz band started as we sat down and played at just the right volume to have a conversation and jiggle to the tunes. We were very close to the stage and the waiter was attentive and good humoured. Food was delicious and cocktails were very satisfying. Will be back!

    We went in the winter and the downstairs is cozy with the fireplace. The food was fresh, seasoned and nicely presented. It was a busy Saturday evening and service lagged little near the end of our meal. We would return again and recommend you try it too.

    I brought my staff for a celebratory holiday lunch and we couldn't have been happier. LeeAnn, the hostess/server,  was warm, friendly, and just the right level of attentive. We sat in the covered/atrium space in the back, which was perfect on a rainy day. Cocktails and food were delicious - I ordered the mussels and they were some of the best I've ever had. The lunch reminded me how much I enjoyed Frenchie before Covid and I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular basis. Thanks for a lovely wonderful lunch!
