Summary: rude staff (possibly manager or owner) that handled minor crisis poorly and kicked our party out after his own mistake!!! Read for details
Came in as a party of 6 with no reservation on Dec 22nd, 2025. Were seated and greeted properly. Menu was introduced, specials mentioned, tapas disclaimer was mentioned (portions are small and one should order 2 to have a full meal). Drink order was taken and drinks were served in a very timely manner. All of the above was done by young man who I have nothing but positive to speak of. Then comes the older gentleman (I suspect an owner or manager). He stopped by a few times asking if we were ready. We took a few minutes and then we place an order for soup of the day, salmon tartar, grilled salmon entree, margarita pizza, burger, and vegetarian ravioli. Soup was served first and 10 minutes later the rest arrived except ravioli. We were told that they will be out in a few minutes. More than five minutes go by and a young man who took our drink order and asked if we were fine. I said we were waiting for ravioli order. Young man went the man who took food order immediately. However, noone came to us to give an update. A few minutes later that same young mane came by to ask again and I said that nothing has changed and were still waiting for an order of vegetarian ravioli. Then he started to apologise saying that he did not take the order. Then came the person who took the food order. He said ravioli were being prepared. I asked why did he serve the rest of the course if it was not ready he said he made a mistake and placed an order for lobster ravioli instead of vegetarian and he could bring them. I said that we ordered vegetarian ravioli and did not want the lobster ones (person ordering is vegetarian with seafood allergies). The man said he made a mistake, but refused to answer the question as to why did he serve the course of food when it was not entire (they did bring soup first as an appetiser, so they tapas excuse won’t cut). The man obviously lost as he said something in french (most likely insulting) but I do not speak french, so no idea. Then he snapped out all the dishes from everyone and kept saying things in french. Maybe this is how he wants it. If he is the owner, let it be he has the right to kick me out, but he screwed up the order, failed to come clear to the guest ahead of time (I waited tabled and handled this situation with ease) and admit his mistake. The person taking the order seemed friendly at the beginning. Said he was a patriot fan (I don’t follow football, so I did not care) and said he lived in suburbs of Boston some time ago (I mentioned we lived in Boston).
We came in to have food after a day of skiing. The person taking the order made a mistake and tried to BS out of it and ended up acting as 3 year old whose lost his own toy in the sand

I was charmed by the beautiful patio and lovely ambiance - it felt like a perfect start to our daytrip. The server was rude immediately - her tone was sharp as she said we could not sit at a table we’d asked about - I was taken aback, but am guessing it is because we had a baby with us (sleeping). We ordered salmon tartar with a chef’s salad. It was the worst tartar I have ever tried - fishy - No one could eat it. The salad was basic, of cafeteria quality, but we ate that and the fries. I told the server apologetically that the tartar was fishy - she looked at us and then did nothing about it. I was not going to make a big deal about it and left feeling ripped off and hungry.

Was really excited to visit a cute little french bistro and was so disappointed with the food and service. The salmon tartare was so incredibly disgusting - the worst I’ve ever had. It smelled SO fishy and tasted rotten, it was basically inedible. We didn’t eat any of it and the waitress didn’t offer anything else or even apologize for it. They were also so rude when we came into the restaurant. We had a newborn with us who was sleeping and slept the whole time and they wouldn’t let us sit in a certain area because they didn’t want to disturb the guests - meanwhile the baby was quieter than any of the patrons in there. Would never go back - don’t waste your time and money here.

We stopped for a small snack and drinks. The patio is wonderful, lots of flowers and comfortable seating, great server but I ordered a french fried and had to return it. How can you mess up a french fry order? My advice is to get drinks and forget the food.

I enjoyed the experience. The restuarant was nicely decorated with plants and lighting and had a nice outdoor seating area where I had dinner in late September. The service by the hostess and waitress were however the best part of the experience. Friendly smiling and attentive ladies with open welcoming faces. The one reason I may be inclined to rather try another restaurant if I return is the mediocre menu and mediocre food quality that I experienced. Overall I enjoyed the experience but there seems to be lots of choice close by.

the food isn’t too great, the green curry is very bland and watery so don’t take it, portions r fine for the price, service took about 45 min but the server is nice and ambiance is good!
Tapas style menu - Risotto with Mushrooms was excellent as was the beet salad. Nice covered outside area to enjoy dinner at.

The food and hospitality blew us away. Martin was a fantastic server who went above and beyond every part of our meal.
I’m prone to hyperbole, but two of the small plates we had were some of the most memorable and incredible I’ve ever had. The elk tartar was combined with crispy onions and blueberries and topped with a pistachio mustard ice cream. The meat was not gamey at all and the flavors were strong yet delicate at the same time. 10/10. But my favorite thing was the smoked scallop “carpaccio.” The scallops were sliced and plated on a foamy emulsified maple aioli, and topped with black sesame seeds. I LOVE smoked fish and this was perfect.

My wife and I were sick after this meal. I don't know if it's because the cream of the sauce was too rich or of poor quality. Both meals (curry and mussels) tasted the same. The waiter insisted that we have a double meal, saying that the quantities were small. Bad experience.

We were really looking forward to this restaurant. The menu seemed really nice. In truth, the ambiance and service were great. There was really good live music that wasn’t too loud. The salad was delicious but the three other plates we tried were mediocre. The tartar didn’t taste fresh. The soup wasn’t as expected. The vegan pizza was disappointing compared to other vegan pizzas I’ve had in the past.
