Being French you can trust me when I state this is the Best French Restaurant in Los Angeles County Each and every dishes was succulent, cooked to the perfection. We were served with the most impressive food and the most amazing service experience I ever had. We’ll be back over and over again. Thank to all the impressive professional staff. Chef Bruno and Fabienne extended the French tradition to the perfection

Food was good. Our server though was practically non-existent. She only came around a couple of times to check on us. I understand they are understaffed, but it's not a big place so it's not much of an effort to see if we were okay or needed anything.

Food was above average, service superb. Prices were way too high, especially on the "specials!" Surprised to find an eatery without air conditioning, which made it a bit uncomfortable for being a warm day.

Intimate, quiet, friendly reminded that reminded us of a Paris bistro. The service was excellent and the food was ample and very good. Not cheap but also not expensive. Quiet residential neighborhood with street parking

Walked by it for years and only recently tried it. So good. Had a special of white asparagus soup which was delicious. I had their strip which was well prepared. Our server was lovely and great at directing us. Lovely little. Spot. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Great little French spot in Pasadena! The chef is incredible nice and comes out to greet/check in on tables. On Thursdays it’s the farmers market so fun to walk around before or after. He said that he gets his veggies from the farmers markets too so you know it’s great quality produce!The specials are always lovely (love the shrimp). Highly recommend if you’re in the area and worth the drive from LA

We had an absolute PERFECT evening...This was the true French dining experience. No rushing, we had the table for the night. Food was amazing. Our servers were charming and funny... We had a party of 10 and it felt like a little café in France just for us.

I have never been here. It was my moms birthday on Sep. 27 and I wanted to take her somewhere different. After a quick search, I found this gem. I looked at the menu online and there wasn’t an item my mom wouldn’t like. We showed up and wow the place is gorgeous. Lovely atmosphere! To start, we had the French onion soup and chicken pâté Both were delicious. Entrees; NY special, Filet Mignon, and a burger. All 3 were amazing but…. The burger…. Oh my lord… I don’t know what the chef did but we were all in awe… the best burger I’ve ever had in my life! We were astonished by this burger and the amazing flavor ! For dessert, we had crème brûlée and the apple tart What a great way to end the night. My moms absolute favorite was the coffee. Best coffee she has ever had. We will definitely be back, no doubt.
