Classic French!! In the best way. The chef is from Alsace, where the best French restauranteurs are from. Excellent espressos. Superb soft shell crab. Classic moules frites! Very nice wine list. Vin ordinaire is extraordinaire. Pear tart was great too.

tiny French restaurant with delicious food. this is definitely a must try in nyack because the food is so tasty and authentic but you absolutely need to make a reservation as this place has only 5 or 6 tables inside (when the weather is nice they have 1 or 2 tables outside). wine list here is great but it's good to note that they do not have a bar. service is good and staff is friendly however the courses tend to come out slowly. we've been here a couple of times and we are typically there for at least 2 hours. as long as you have wine and good company it's no problem. but if you are in a rush, your best bet is to go someplace else. if you go, be sure to get the escargot and the macaron dessert!

The food and service was beyond amazing. Escargot appetizer was on point. Loved the lamb and beef bourguignon entrees. If you’re contemplating French in the area, look no further. I’ll definitely be returning.

Some of the best French food I've had in the area. The foie gras was to die for. Love the intimate setting, nice wine selection, and lovely staff. Can't wait to return!

We've been here once or twice before and once to Alain's larger restaurant in West Nyack before it closed prior to Covid. The food has always been good although the prices have always been a bit too high for what you get. This past Valentine's Day was a continuation of his questionable pricing practices. When we called to make the reservation, they said they hadn't yet posted their Valentine's dinner menu but it would be a prix fixe. When we arrived they presented us with the prix fixe menu but again with no posted prices. Then they sprung it on us. $90 per person! Since we were already there we weren't going to walk out, which is what they apparently counted on. The food was very good but the way they presented the prices was, to be French, "gauche." While we sympathize with the Covid affect on restaurants, we still think this was not a good way to do business.

Delicious dinner and shame on those group of 4 never show up to their reservation. Too bad they missed out on good food.I got a reservation for v day and not knowing if this will be a good idea. I love French cuisine and it can’t go wrong especially they started us off with a champagne.Service is wonderful. I kinda hope they gave us more bread during the dinner but I was glad they didn’t. We were stuffed and I can’t even finish the dessert or I tried.I should have asked for the price but it’s a fix menu for valentines. I actually didn’t know what I was going to pay but it was a reasonable amount for the service and high quality food. We end up chatting with a couple across and love the people who visit this place. Everyone has a passion for food is a place where you should dine.

This place is one of the gems of Nyack and Rockland in general. This is a real dining experience and each dish is absolutely made with care and passion for cuisine. Highly recommended.

Really good. All the dishes we had that were made in the kitchen were good including the bread (maybe from a bakery). Ingredients were fresh and tasty. Service was pretty good too. However I have to say that the butter that comes with the bread is boring and lacks flavor and more importantly that the vanilla ice cream and the cream that comes with the chocolate fondant cake are tasteless to say the best. If I’d be the chef & owner (that we had the chance to see and talk to); I’d change the recipe or the providers. I ll go back and try the choucroute one of these days. miss that dish for sure.

I ate dinner here on Sunday night. The food was fantastic as always. We were the only table and the waiter took really good care of us. It can be awkward to be the only table, but he was so welcoming and hospitable we quickly forgot. It was a really nice meal. Thanks!!
