    Had a lovely dinner! We started with the spritz of the day, which was delicious, followed by a charcuterie board and steak frites—both were fantastic. We finished with crème brûlée and espresso martinis. They also had an $8 espresso martini special from 8 PM to close, which was a great deal. Would love to come back and try the prix fixe menu with the wine pairing next time.

    We had a delicious dinner here! We started with the burrata salad, which was scrumptious, and for our main dishes we each had the salmon, which came with some of the tastiest vegetables I've ever had. We also ordered the fries, which are different than anywhere else and the best I've ever had; they're thinner, almost like chips, but still puffy with potato in the middle, and come with an onion dip that is sort of addictive. For dessert we shared the creme brulee and it was outstanding. We didn't have any wine, so the bill was surprisingly low, since the entree prices had looked high to me at first. I definitely will come back here again.

    Not a warm and inviting French Bistro as advertised. Looks nothing like the image on the post card handed out with the check. Cold and uninviting atmosphere. Sorry but not worth the effort to go there IMO.

    Absolutely delicious! Coq au vin was to die for, and the salmon beurre blanc was lovely. We will be back with friends!

    We went for unlimited tapas and all tapas we ordered were delicious. Service and place is like a cafe, but place is named a cafe, so it is expected.

    They allowed us to split the prix fixe so was able to try a variety of meals. Escargot, salmon + chicken, crème brulee. Good portions and coffee to finish. Great vibes and people watching from the window
