Charming little bistro on commercial drive. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, the ambiance almost transports you to France and the rich sauces emblematic of French cuisine are rarely found this side of the Atlantic.
I was informed that the chef is classically trained under French culinary legends and has worked at Michelin star restaurants. Wish I could give this establishment more than 5 stars.

Everything was top-notch--the food was great, and the service was friendly. Only a few comments: the table legs outside did not work with my long legs; I was surprised that the server did not check in more frequently (not much of a problem, but I did want another drink); the St. Germain&prosecco didn't seem to have much St. Germain in it at all (though the prosecco was good)
I recommend the lamb.

We were here for my birthday celebration. Every dish is beyond our expectations! The bread is warm and with creamy butter, French onion soup is a must try, the scallop is cooked to perfection and the duck leg vanished into my boyfriend’s stomach within 3 min since it’s too good! The dark chocolate lava cake is not too sweet, paired with homemade black current ice cream make it fresh!
Love the quiet...
