Service was wonderful. Some of the best steak tartare I have had I a long time. Server's recommended dishes were spot on. Specialty cocktails went with the ricotta pistachio cake perfectly. Will definitely be back next time we are in town

It was just bad. I used to live in the area and raved about this place to my husband. I used to dine here many years ago, so being in town decided to take him & our daughter for dinner. The charcuterie was fine, a bit scant, but fine. We ordered the shrimp & the bistro burger. We waited, and waited, and waited. Our server was up front with us and said our food was never put in. When we finally got our meals, the supposed-to-be medium well burger was well done, the fries were soggy, & the shrimp Provençal was embarrassing. There were 4 crostini on the plate & only 3 shrimp with a very small amount of zucchini & mushrooms, even less sauce. I didn’t feel like getting into it so I said nothing but $16 for 3 shrimp feels like highway robbery. They offered dessert on the house for the mixup which was a nice gesture. We had the cheesecake & lemon bar — both were fine. Then the check came. We were double charged for everything but the charcuterie. The waiter had to come correct it. I was SO EMBARASSED to have spoken so highly only for our experience to be downright bad. This is the last time I’ll ever dine here, unfortunately.

Food and atmosphere were great, service however leaves much to be desired. Once our food order was taken not once were we checked on or were our drinks refilled. I wanted to order another round of cocktails but literally no one came by to check on us. Disappointing considering how excited I was to eat here

The restaurant was very loud and it was hard to hear the friends we were sitting with. One friend ordered a burger and said she didn't want blue cheese on it, but cheddar. When the server brought out the burger, it had blue cheese on it so my friend sent it back. Whoever handled it in the kitchen just melted cheddar cheese over top of the blue cheese and sent it back and not quickly either. Service was slow and inattentive. Half of the drinks were good and half were not in our opinion. One friend let the server know she did not like her drink, it was extremely strong, and was unable to drink it. She was still charged for it. It was unfortunately a disappointing experience.
Steak tartare was great, French onion soup had a nice flavor but needed to be under the broiler for a little longer- room temperature and the cheese needed it, the duck confit was prepared well but could have used a something- a bit bland, and I would not recommend the mussels. Loved the ambiance and the live jazz duo was nice. I would try it again.

The atmosphere is very calming and welcoming. Highly recommend the croque madame. The bistro burger is just ok.

This is a place you want to just love but.... the hostess is rude from the get-go even though we had reservations and put us at an undesirable table when there were barely anyone else there dining or any reserved tables (we moved on our own to a nice one up against the wall and not floating in the middle); great bass and guitar player at the entrance but very loud for the space; the waiter was nice, prompt and attentive; the food was pathetic as the MD crab soup was thin and the pear and blue cheese salad had a small amount of pear and imperceivable amount of cheese; the salad niçoise was at the bare minimum with unseasoned tuna. The wine saved the day and we opted out of dessert.

Charming little place in the Mount Vernon area. Service was good and the food was very tasty. I got the clam linguini which was good and my wife got the trout almondine which was excellent. Overall a good value. We will definitely consider returning when we're down in that area.
We've been a couple times previously and this visit did not disappoint. We were seated within 2 minutes of our arrival and our hostess was friendly and greeted us upon arrival. Our server was very nice and the food was scrumptious. The restaurant was busy so it took more than usual to receive our salads and entrees. This restaurant is a legitimate french restaurant. Food was cooked to perfection!
When we reserved our table, I noted special occasion-birthday. Husband ordered soup, escargot, coq au Vin, I ordered pear and Roquefort salad, and Beef Bourguignon. Server payed a lot of attention to a party of 4 nearby, but indifferent to us. Soup, salad and appetizers came out nearly all at once. Unfortunately the escargot was nearly cold by the time my husband finished his soup. About 2/3 through the appetizer when entrees came. Server never checked on us until we were into the entrees and only from the next table as she was clearing that table, she called over to us “everything okay”? I requested a glass of wine (to go with the beef Bourguignon) which finally came after a reminder (?) to the server and then still a good bit of a wait even after that. I slowed down on my entree in hopes of having the wine for at least a little bit of the meal. The food was delicious but service a real disappointment for a French restaurant. I would have liked to enjoy my various courses without being rushed on to the next one. Server came back twice offering dessert while I was still eating my entree. Too bad. I would return, but with a LOT of directions for the server about how we'd like to enjoy the meal.

Food wasn't that great, over priced. Street atmosphere wasn't nice, but it's not entirely their fault. I'd recommend seating inside, much

Very pleased with food and service. Nice little wine list at reasonable prices. The special (sea bass) was delicious but a little pricey ($38 entree for bistro fare). Overall good experience and would recommend!
It was ok. Duck hash and eggs needed salt.
