When you walk into this restaurant it feels warm and inviting. The service was fair but not outstanding. We started with the escargot (not my favorite, was way too buttered and just left a film in my mouth, the steak tartare was excellent as was the oysters. We ordered the roasted chicken which was flavorful and moist. Didn't even use the gravy for it. We also had the striped bass which was done very well. I like their patio which was easy and relaxed.

We were originally sat at the worst table in the entire restaurant, right by the bathroom in the back, even though there were plenty of other seats available. We asked to be moved and thankfully, we were moved to a sunny spot in the front room. We ended up waiting around 25 minutes for our drink orders to be taken, which took another 15/20 min for the coffees to come out (order was wrong) and around 45 minutes for our food order to be taken. By the time our food came out, it was cold, there was a hair in my eggs and most things we had asked for, extra bread, coffee etc, didn't ever come. Overall, not the best exper

The Quiche Lorraine and the ambience were so amazing! I can’t wait back to have another Parisian experience.

Nice place. Food was good. Got the smoked salmon Benedict which was yummy. The crepes suzette was just ok. Service was attentive and friendly at 10am. We were first ones in.

I had a lovely experience here. It definitely captured a French Bistro atmosphere. I believe my waitress was French. She served us well, sweet, informative and attentive. The croissant, green chile chicken crepes, lavender latte I ordered were all delicious no complaints.

TLDR: Ambiance: 9/10 Food: 5.5/10 Service: 2/10 This is absolutely a place you come for the aesthetics. The tables look luxurious and the decor is very European and tasteful. That's the main reason for coming. I went for a late Sunday brunch and made a reservation for 2pm. There were plenty of reservations open when I checked but judging by the crowd of the restaurant I would recommend having on just in case. We were seated promptly and then left for a long while before our waiter greeted us. We promptly ordered an appetizer of shisito peppers and our cocktails. The cocktails came quickly and the cocktail menu was very diverse and fitting for a brunch. It was more than just mimosas and bloody Mary's. The waiter took our entree orders when the cocktails were delivered but then were stuck waiting over 30 minutes for our shisito peppers. We were only notified of the delay right before the peppers were brought out. With that being a long wait we inquired about our entrees and were told there were several tickets still in front of us. It took another 20 minutes for the entrees to arrive and were left waiting nearly an hour for our food. NOTE: the restaurant may have had only one chef but were not notified of this and no reason was given for the delay. Upon finishing our meals we had to wait yet again to pay for the bill. So long that another restaurant staffer had to track down our waiter. The restaurant was dead at this point. Blistered shisito peppers: Seasoning was generous and good. Blistering was a little inconsistent among the peppers. 7/10. Quick Lorraine: The best thing at the table. The salt and fat of the bacon blended well and it's wasn't too much egg. 8.5/10 Ham and Gruyère omelet with potatoes galette: Generous amount of cheese but lacked flavor and was otherwise uninteresting. Potatoes were as you would expect soft on the inside and crunchy outside but again lacked any flavor. 5/10. Smoked bacon: You can get better bacon Trader Joe's. Thin and had a weird taste. 3/10. Drinks: Espresso martini: Heavy the on the espresso taste but developed the hazelnut notes the menu promised as I continued to drink it. 6/10. Pearl Noel: You mostly the pear. The spice is more cinnamon baking spice than heat spice but I wasn't able to taste the baileys and felt like I was drinking just the St. George spiced pear. 4/10.
