    Wonderful bistro. As advertised, for sure. Classic cuisine in a cozy setting. Steak Tartar was totally on point and delicious. Mussels were perfect. Jazz ensemble was really terrific. Service was attentive and friendly. Great choice.

    Overall excellent experience. Our server Christian was extremely patient with all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed the Caesar salad, sweetbreads, duck confit, Foie gras, and the lamb cavatelli pasta. Everything was delicious. I would highly recommend and will return upon my next visit.

    We probably should’ve gotten the house specialty which was lamb but instead we got the risotto and the pasta which was average. The service was wonderful and the music was excellent! We would definitely return again and try different dishes

    Bien que l'accueil, l'ambiance et le service nous a vraiment plus, mlaheureusement la nouriture s'est avérée beaucoup plus ordinaire. La soupe à l'oignon n'était pas très gouteuse, le carnard confi était sec et le dessert étai bien.

    Food was really good, just a touch under 5 stars as it was expensive and still had a slight bit of room for improvement – that being said though, it was still delicious and a solid 4.5 stars if I could give it that. Service was impeccable, the band was amazing, and although it was loud it was the right kind of loud – music and people enjoying themselves, my girlfriend and I included. For this, I give them an overall 5 stars, 10/10 would recommend and WILL definitely go again.
