Macarons in Wilmington, NC

“Did an amazing job catering for a birthday party. Food was delicious! Those fingerling potatoes and steak and shrimp---yum!“

“We came in last night for dinner after friends told us about it. Alban met us at the door, and personally checked on us several times during our meal.

We shared the French onion soup. I had the duck and my husband had the lamb entree with a bottle of Pinot Noir.

The atmosphere: Very nicely done French bistro. As the restaurant filled, it did become a bit loud (echo from the tall ceilings and flat surfaces) but we could easily talk over it.

The Service: David was great. Knowledgeable and made good recommendations on entree and wine. Checked on us but not bothersome. Alban likewise checked in. He even came outside as we were leaving to ask how we enjoyed ourselves. This was exceptional.

The Food: The French onion soup was rich and everything we’d expect from that classic dish.
The entree’s were very tasty and perfectly cooked. The ratatouille paired with the lamb was a bit mushy but the vegetables were tasty. The lamb could use some finishing salt at the end to perk it up.

The duck was very good. Cooked medium rare with a nice crust on the skin. Very tender and the orange glaze with mushrooms paired nicely. Rice was cooked well and served separately. Again, I would suggest some finishing salt on the duck to enhance the dish, but otherwise exceptional.

Value: Our meal (including two cocktails before dinner) was $200. Considering the above, we felt this was very reasonable for the quality of the experience. I forgot to take photos of our entree’s as we were busy enjoying them. 🤭

Overall this was an excellent dinning experience and we would highly recommend this to our friends and family.“
