One of the finest restaurants I've had the pleasure or discovering for many years. The bartender Nick is obviously a maestro, as I sat at the bar and watched him create libations with pizza and style (I wasn't drinking that night, so will have to return soon!). The entire staff was beyond warm and welcoming - they were very serious, but you could just tell that delivering a rare level of excellence was their definition of FUN. I had the mussels provanciale (sp?), which was a ginger, fennel, and magic dish- the best mussels I've ever had. I can't wait for my next layover in SAC, I'll be headed straight back.

Outside dining was opened upon request. Beautiful day and great wine. The Croque Monsieur was actually delectable and the atmosphere marvelous. Inside is a much classier setting yet the open air outside seating is wonderful if you enjoy the sun.

During our previous visits here, we really enjoyed the food and service. Unfortunately, this time, we only enjoyed the service. Alex did a great job. He was friendly, attentive, and always smiled. However, the food this time was bland and overcooked (esp the fish). The risotto was under seasoned and only luke warm. We like to come here when we're downtown (for Kings games, Broadway shows, etc). However, based on this last experience, we will probably not be back for awhile...sadly...John

We were a group of 4 and sat inside. The menus were well-used and stained. I ordered the special of Halibut on risotto with vegetables. The halibut was great, the risotto was too mushy for my taste. Also, the fish was hot, but the risotto and vegetables were room temperature. I guess the plate sat dressed while the fish was cooking. IDK. My husband's scallops were similar, the scallops were hot, the vegetables were cold. I also felt our waiter could have been more attentive. We were looking to order more wine, but by the time he came to our table, we had finished and were moving on to dessert. I expected more from a restaurant in this price range.

My gosh, we love the food. My gosh, the service stinks. Our server visited the table 17 minutes after we were seated. And the first comment was open “we knew it was going to be busy; we just didn't plan enough staff. Sorry about that.” Aziz knows better. I've had the same discussed with him several times but still, the planning doesn't change. Time after time, our mantra is the same “do we give up the good food because of the slow service? Or do we tolerate the slow service because of the good food?” I think we reached a compromise - we don't visit as often as we'd like. Sometimes you want something off this menu ... but there are plenty of other good restaurants in the area!

An excellent restaurant within a short walk of theaters, both live and film. Old school atmosphere and décor. Skilled waiters/waitresses and good wine choices. Moderately expensive. Definitely French!

The service was great, they fit us in when they didn't have to. They were kind, made great suggestions, and the food was delicious. Thank you!
A hidden French brewery style restaurant inside of a hotel (Hilton I believe) very nice atmosphere with live music entertainment as you dine. A delightful wine and desert selection. Knowledgeable and polite service. Family friendly but not much of a child menu or child atmosphere.Great spot for romantic dinner, gathering or dinner with friends.Food was nice portions, cooked exactly the way I wanted and very flavorful that paired well with our Cabernet. Had a dessert wine that was recommended and delicious (ask server for options)Definitely would go back

The food was off a little. Do not remember the muscles having cream in them. Fish stew would have been better with some fennel and orange peel. Butter lettuce and the beet salad not as we remembered. All off except the dessert.

Place was empty and staff kept asking for reservations, we were having fun at the bar and got yells to to keep it low. Place was literally empty, bar tenders stressed out for a group of 7, looks like they are not used to work. Jeremy and girl were ok. Is the Asis guy that didn’t liked us. Bad

Grossly disappointed - the ambiance and inviting window seat couldn't overcome the horribly preparred and seemingly low quality steaks. The cocktails were nice as was the carpaccio de betteraves salad. The crevettes au shichimi togarashi was fair but didn't resemble the description or the recipe standard. We spoke with the waitress regarding the need for gluten-free. She was helpful but the need was overlooked as the filet arrived with deep fried onions or something similar and had to be sent back. Sadly, it did not appear that they replaced the dish, which should always be the case with food allergies. Both her filet and my ribeye were overcooked. We ordered med-rare but hers was well done and mine was medium and lacked tenderness etc that is reflective of a quality cut. Terrible considering the cost. Then within 20 mins of leaving my friend suffered significant GI issues. A really horrible dinner experience.
