Escargots were delicious. I had the mussels as my meal, they're incredible and filling. My husband had the croque madame said it was one of the best he's ever had.Fernada was very sweet.

Stopped here for a little breakfast. It seemed quite expensive so we decided to get pastries here and go somewhere to get a sandwich. Nothing we got was heated up. ?. My wife got what the waiter said was raspberry macarons. After she licked what she thought was peanut butter running down the side of one she almost instantly threw up. The shell was raspberry but inside was fig jam and wait for it--- chicken liver. I didn't know at the time so I stuck a knife in to sample it myself and was repulsed by a taste of salty copper. WORST THING I EVER TRIED.

Expensive for the quality. Not bad quality, just middling value.

Below average French food for a French restaurant. Nothing was horrible, but clearly, the chef doesn't have classical training in French cuisine. Even so, any descent chef should be able to make these dishes without classical training in French cuisine. The biggest faux pas was watery sauce in both the boulliabaise and the coq a vin. And the chicken of the latter needed salt or brine. While the ingredients used were good, the execution was poor. Even the Carottes paysannes while not horrible was undercooked and had a watery overly sweet sauce with a that sweetness took away from the flavor of the fresh herbs in the dish.I don't doubt that there may be some good things on the menu. The table next to me had a burger and fries that actually looked delicious, but I don't go to a French bistro for a burger and fries. At best, this is an average American diner dabbling in French cuisine. At worst, it's a con, a diner masquerading as a French bistro, and if they had been more up front about that, I might be less disappointed.

This place is so hit or miss. The food (when it's available) is good!But seriously, how is it that you are out of steak frites and croissants at 1 PM on a Sunday? On a different occasion we dined here, they did not have several of the other pastries at noon on a Sunday either. Management tries accommodating but come on...Also a single bathroom is not enough to accommodate your guests. There is always a long line and wait which feels unnecessary.It's a great atmosphere to grab a drink or bottle with friends and sit out on the patio on a sunny day.

Our food and service was lovely and easy enough to get a table but it was very very cold as there was a crack in their tent blowing air on us.
