Andy was an amazing, attentive server. Beautiful space. We each had the wild caught salmon. Cooked to perfection. The cous cous was the right consistency. I substituted spinach for the green beans. Not bitter. Would definitely go back. You can definitely tell an establishment with high-caliber employees. Well done!

We had called and made a reservation and were told to come at 8:30pm. We walked in at 8:32pm and the red haired hostess said she would not serve us. She was INCREDIBLY rude. I understand that the holidays are a busy time— they are for everyone. But service is service. You must be kind if you want to be in service.

We had high hopes for dining at Michel's Christiania that unfortunately fell flat. Our waitress was one of those that you wonder if you are bothering them by dining at the restaurant and she was repeatedly rude to my daughter, ignoring her while my daughter was trying to order, instead staring directly at me while I continually indicated that my daughter was plenty capable of ordering for herself. This happened multiple times. The food is overpriced for the quality. My mac and cheese, while flavourful enough was so stringy that I had to frequently spin it like spaghetti to get all the cheese and the bites were more cheese than pasta. My daughter's trout was so drenched in butter than it was just wet and my mom's chicken was soft and flavourless. The best part of the meal was the atmosphere (worn, but in a cozy, lived in way) and the desserts. The creme brulee really was great, cold flavourful custard with a crisp top. There are plenty of great restaurants in Ketchum, this one just, unfortunately fell flat in both service and food quality.Kid-friendliness: It wasn't. The server was rude to my daughter on more than one occasion when my daughter was trying to place her orders.

We had an incredible meal on our last night in Ketchum. Our dinner consisted of oysters, asparagus soup, salads, rack of lamb with chimichurri, fillets, beef carpaccio, and a delicious dessert to celebrate our friends birthday. The two least favorite items as a general consensus of our group was the asparagus soup. It was not flavored enough. And the beef carpaccio was not a hit either. Everything else was amazing, and meat was cooked to perfection.The waitstaff were lovely and cocktails are killer. My only suggestion would be to update the decor. The interior is so quaint and cozy, but the furniture and carpeting look rundown. could use a refresh. Overall, great experience.

food was very good (with the exception of the overcooked green beans) the service was terrible. our waitress was very unfriendly, made us feel very uncomfortable. we left to have dessert elsewhere because of her attitude. it's disappointing that her service put a damper on our anniversary meal - hard to justify top dollar when treated like that.

I take no pleasure in saying this but feel others must be warned. The service was terrible and the food bland and uninspired. The saving grace were the fresh oysters which were delicious and unharmed by the kitchen. Avoid at all costs.

Loved it! Service was excellent and our dinner was 5 stars. Highly recommend.

We sat on the patio and the weather was perfect. The tomatoes on the caprese salad were perfect. My entree was delicious and the dessert was decadent. We sat and enjoyed the weather and our conversation after dinner and did not feel unwelcome or rushed. Great experience.

Always consistently good food and excellent service! Very authentic French food very well done in Ketchum, Idaho. And sitting on the back patio on a cool fall evening is such a treat. Thank you for making every time we visit such a great experience!

Pretty bummed. I went to eat here August 18th and the food was pretty good but while we were sitting outside on the patio eating our food, a bird pooped on my head. I didn't make a big fuss because they can't help it if a bird did that, but it's how you respond if it happens. That didn't think anything of it asked if we would like a box. Of course I didn't didn't want s box with with lamb and bird poop to go. My wife and I lost our appetite and left

Jeremy, the bartender, and his son are excellent! Michel the owner is very personable and sweet. The food is amazing! My favorite was the apple tart with ice cream dessert. Beautiful presentation and perfect ending to an amazing dinner.

I wish everyone would stop asking if I'm ok. I know I don't eat at restaurants like this normally but I'll find something I like. The trout was very good.
