Cute little french bistro next to McCarren park. Great brunch spot. My only knock against them is the service was pretty slow considering the restaurant was empty.

I’ve walked by this place 100x and last week we decided to give it a try. I love French food and lived in France for a short period, but I’m not claiming to be an expert on French cuisine.
First impression was, this place is cute and the menu looks tasty and there was no wait to be seated on a Saturday night, which is odd in Williamsburg.
The service is TERRIBLE. Terrible to the point I’m writing this review. Whether they were high or just rude, who knows.
The food. I can’t see why the reviews are good. It’s super salted for no reason and nothing outstanding.
Sadly, for the price, service and food I will not be returning. It’s disappointing.

I feel like I've been blind to this spot. The staff made certain I got help and responded to my inquiries with genuine politeness. The surroundings here are notable. Their dishes contain exceptional flavor layers. I intend to come back to try more of their dishes.

My favorite brunch place 🍰☕️ I bring my loved ones here cuz every time I come the experience is just so lovely! Food and service always top notch

The last time I visited, my friend left her phone at the restaurant and realized that hours later. We called them to check and they kindly let us know they have it and to come pick it up, we offered tip for thank you and the staff was so sweet he said no need! We still did to show our appreciation, def will be coming back ❤️

I came here for my birthday and it was so good. the waiters were very friendly and the food was delicious. I had the steak frites and the steak was so tender and the fries were so crispy. the oysters were so fresh and sweet. The caramel soufflé is a must have. an absolutely amazing restaurant. It does get packed around 6ish so try to come earlier or reserve a table on resy if you’re coming with a bigger party.

I'm acquainted with a few of the staff so I don't want to come across biased. So, with that said and meant, the food, the price, the "all of the above" are simply put: elegant and eloquent. Qui Qui. ⚜️

Lovely dinner from beginning to end. Warm, fresh bread and butter, so good we requested a second order. It's one of the best goat cheese salads I have had, truffle fries to die for. Highly recommend.

We were so lucky to get into this restaurant last minute and had a fantastic experience. The place was perfectly done up in a French café manner. The service was impeccable and the food was a 10 all the way. Our server, Carmen was friendly and knowledgeable and we talked the mail off with their amazing chocolate lava cake

The raviolis and the half chicken for dinner, which were fantastic. We had the brussels sprouts, which were perfectly done with the right blend of salty, sweet and delicious.

Don’t stress out and go to the place next-door that always has a difficult time to get in when this place is hands-down better.

Wow! Went here on Tuesday (8/27). What a great find. Service was dynamite and kind. The food ... the food ... the food ... Had a beet root salad (great dish on a hot summer day), the prawn cocktail (I ate the cocktail sauce directly with a spoon it was that tasty), stuffed ravioli (rich and lovely) but then the pièce de la résistance ... the mussels in white wine sauce ... so good ... so many of them ... the bowl could have fed a family of five.

All at reasonable prices in a charming dining room. Merci, Joie!
