It is a special place for my family to eat for a couple of decades, even before it moved north to Independence. Mom & I would make a special trip from Bishop or make time to stop on the way south. I love the French Onion soup which used to be made fresh by order & hamburgers & other specials of the day. Brought my cousin there. He loved it. He didn't stop at the French Onion soup, but delayed his
trip south ordering the special too (delicious leg of lamb) with a 2nd Glass of wine. The original French owners seem to be passing the restaurant onto the next generation, so the tradition continues.

I got leeks soup and my husband got blue cheese burger. All were so delicious! I tried a piece of his burger and I can rate it "the top 5 burgers I have every eaten".
Lady server is awesome.
We highly recommend this place and we'll stop there again once we hike Pine lakes next time.

If you’re in a hurry and looking for a quick bite, this is not the place for you. Service is slow, but personal, and the food is incredible. We had the escargot, Niçoise salad, fillet mignon steak and a blue cheese burger and loved it all. Great selection of beers and wines too. Made for a delightful evening and an authentic French cuisine experience in an unlikely setting.
We visited on a Sunday and the place opened at 17:30.

Enjoyed the goat cheese salad! The bread was great
For a small restaurant in the middle of the desert its pretty amazing and cant go wrong! Now dont expect the most impressive food ever, but the food is good, wait time is slow because the lovely older lady is working it alone cut her some slack! And the atmosphere is pretty great!
Might even get visited by the bestest boy “carlos” a fluffy beautiful dog

Really cute restaurant. Very nice lady who’s running the restaurant by herself. Food was excellent and atmosphere is french like. Definitely a spot to try if you’re not in a hurry and up for some good food!

We went here 2 years ago. I thought I had written a review, but I guess I didn't. Basically, service was exceptionally slow. Took an hour and a half to get food. While we were waiting, the waitress went out a side door to smoke and take a call. She did not close the door, and the smoke wafted into the restaurant, which wasn't an appetizing smell. Also, it seemed like the music on the speakers might have been running off her phone because we were able to hear her phone conversation, very quietly over the speakers while she was outside smoking. As for the food, for the time we waited, it was not good. I ordered a beef bourgeois. That's probably not spelled right, and it came with bones inside the dish. It was very off-putting. My husband got a burger. Not very complicated but still said it was just ok.
