   On first entering the restaurant, I felt it was deceptively small! And it is. But it has a nice ambiance. It could use a little french cafe music or something to add to the ambiance though. The bar looks fantastic and dominates the room, making me think it is really encouraging folks to eat there instead of at the few tables on the perimeter. Nice touch but not conducive to our party of friends who wanted to talk! We were a party of 4. Two of our party had the Croque Madam and loved it. Another had the steak frites and raved about it. I had the poached tuna sandwich, which was bland and just not very tasty. We also had the deviled eggs - delicious and an order of fries - terrific. And we had a a carafe of the house wine, which was wonderful. Our server was terrific - informed, attentive, and pleasant. The food was plentiful. And it was a very nice lunch - I just wish I had ordered differently!

   Encouraged by the many 5-star reviews, we made a dinner reservation for 4 with our out-of-town guests. As reported by previous reviewers, the seating inside is "cozy" and the noise level is "energetic" and the restrooms are outside the restaurant. We were seated at a very small booth in a corner, so there wasn't a view. Our server (sorry, didn't catch his name) was pleasant and efficient. We had cocktails/wine (all fine) and 3 appetizers (deviled eggs, leeks, and croque monsieur). The eggs were our favorite. We each had a different entree from the limited menu - chicken was the best; the burger was good, but medium rare, rather than the medium requested; the steak was pretty good; and the sole had a very tasty sauce, and a small bed of spinach. The fries with the burger and the steak were very good. The bill came to almost $600 with tip, so if you are watching your budget, this isn't the place for you. It was an OK experience, but not one that we are likely to repeat.

   Food was ok … will give it another try. Chicken was dry and very salty - strange twist on escargot flavoring - tasty leek dish.

   The food and service is good but the music is too loud. We had to yell across the table at each other.

   The scene is Sunday brunch, inside table. I love this restaurant having been twice before but this was my first time for Sunday brunch. The noise level inside was SO loud, I only could hear 60% of my friend's words and she mine. It was cacophonous. But, the quiche we both thought, was the best we have ever had and we've been on the planet for a while now. The flaky crust with cheeses at just the right consistency was sublime. We decided to stop trying to talk to each other and devoted our attention to the soft serve ice cream dessert which was probably better than anything she was going to say to me anyway. Really good food. Love the space. Love the service. But geez, I couldn't hear myself think! How about some fabric hanging here and there for sound control...

   We’re locals who are working our way through every croque madame in the Bay Area. We really enjoyed what we ordered and the service was friendly and attentive.

    So glad I’ve found this gem! Enjoyed a nice cup of cappuccino, the croque madame and their delicious home made Madeleines! Can’t wait to go back ~
