Look, the food here is 10/10 but it is criminally under staffed to the point that only three FOH employees were working during a packed Friday night (one busser and the other two running around doing everything from hosting, serving, and bartending). This was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had in a long time. The owner either needs to step up and work a couple shifts or hire enough people for a functioning restaurant.
Also, the hand written bills and only accepting cash and Amex is not nearly as charming as the owner clearly thinks it is.

One of my go to restaurants in the neighborhood. Their lentil curry (not spicy) is my comfort meal. The gnocchi was good too.

The food was good sucks that the lady that was serving us only ask the tables besides us if everything was ok. Only after an hours she asked that. We waited about 14 mins for someone to come and ask us our order. The table beside us came after and was greeted immediately and was served before us. The food was good though not going to lie. They also don’t say in there about on Google maps that only take cash or Amex.

My folks were visiting and since we are a Franco-American, I wanted to find a nice French restaurant. I chose this place because the menu looked tantalizing, especially the Profiteroles which is my Step-dad's favorite. More on that later. Excellent onion soup, foie gras, mushroom sauce, seared tuna on salade niçoise and drinks. Good chicken with lemon sauce. The veal was a tad tough. The Profiteroles were awful; stale choux pastry, bland ice cream and no warm real chocolate sauce, but a tiny bit of fake syrup from a squeeze bottle. Very very disappointed. My Step-dad ate his to be polite, I didn't and complained about it. The server showed me they only charged me for one, but when I looked at the bill, they only wrote 1 in pen and still charged for 2. Quite dishonest. So is the cash only policy, which I noticed many small French restaurants insist on; not so transparent when it comes to paying taxes back to the community.
Despite the above-mentioned negatives, I still give high marks because the place is really lovely, the servers very attentive and most of the food authentic and delicious at affordable prices. $241 for 3 with all the trimmings and many drinks.
I'm French and a former chef, so I may have higher expectations that most. Fix the Profiteroles problem!

Great place to go for weekend brunch. It felt like I walked into France, such a cute interior. Service was fast and friendly. Eggs Norvégienne (Eggs benedict with salmon) was delicious especially with the freshly cracked pepper.
Very busy night with lots of excitement! I have the steak with fries which was amazing and perfectly cooked and the french fries are to die! I had the escargot which were sizzling and full of garlic and deliciousness for appetizer and the profiteroles for dessert along with a lovely glass of red wine. The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly. I actually felt like I was in France in a little bistro!

Passed by this cozy place for years and finally had dinner here the other night. I thought the hanger steak was cooked wonderfully. Service was also attentive and thoughtful. Vibes were really nice inside too!
