The clams and steak were both delicious. The bread was warm and addicting. Nice selection of wine by the glass. We sat outside and the staff turned on the heater for us. Super friendly people.

I had the salmon with ravioli and my partner had the lobster pot pie that came with some rice. I'll start with the good/decent which was the food. The best part was the fact that we got big glasses of free champagne for taking a lyft to the restaurant which they encourage because of the lack of parking. The flavors were not anything special or extraordinary but they were good enough to enjoy the whole dish. The service was also attentive and everyone was nice and in good spirits which I appreciated.
The bad was everything else to the lack of parking, small venue, pretty crowded, no music and the dish felt too expensive for what it was. It'll be quite a while before I come back.

Who would’ve known that I ever would’ve gone to a French restaurant and had the best pork and beans (it was actually duck confit, Toulouse sausage and pork belly and white beans). The two salads were amazing. I thought they were dressed a little bit too much, but actually it was perfect. Nice wine selection. I was not used to my ravioli being such a small noodle, a little too much marinara for my liking – but still good. Pizza was delicious- coming up fresh from a wood-burning oven. We were unable to have the baked Alaskan because we ordered off the menu rather than the New Year’s eve pre fixe menu Very cramped. I’d prefer less tables. Less than a foot - in every direction - from the next table. You could see each other‘s bills and hear each other‘s conversations. People are eating outside, however, it was freezing cold. They did have heat lamps, but the waiters had to keep going in and out the door that meant the inside was cold, as well. Would go back – but probably get it to go

Never a disappointment here...best mussels and frites in the whole city...great staff (kind and welcoming)! Eat here frequently as it is always a joy!
Patricia
A hidden gem. Food and service were excellent and they have a 2 or 3 course menu during weekdays. Everything was delicious

We had dinner for two (my wife and I). We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. The service was efficient and attentive.

What a fabulous place to spend time! Very intimate and personal! Went there for our 31st anniversary and everything was simply perfect! Their Frois Gras is absolutely life changing and the manu is something of a want list for things you must try! Everything was amazing, the atmosphere was perfect and the staff were nothing short of amazing. Thank you for a perfect night with stunning food and awe inspiring atmosphere!

A nice casual bistro on Memorial Drive. Dress code casuals. On this Tuesday evening, servers wear jeans and black shirts. Not quite half when our party of 4 was seated at 5:40. We had a bottle of wine based on the server’s recommendation. Had CARPACCIO DE FILET DE BŒUF & VIEUX PARMESAN for an appetizer we all enjoyed. (By the way, Carpaccio means raw, as in tenderloin). For entrees, we had different items. I had the salmon on ravioli. It was tasty meal. Others had Flat Iron Steak, and Red Wine Beef Stew. All enjoyed their meal. The service was great, from explaining meals, to selecting wine, to keeping glasses full of beverages. We were on a schedule and had to skip desserts. Nice job all the way around.
Filet with French fries. I'd prefer another choice for the starch. The fries were skinny and lost their heat quickly.

Nice restaurant. Limited parking so use Uber or Lyft and you get a free glass of. Champagne. Service was excellent. Food was good but not exceptional. Steak entrecôte (hanger steak) was tough (not tender). Mussels were good but very small. No standard lettuce salad (e.g. romaine and iceberg).

This restaurant is fabulous!! The food, service, wine selection & ambience is excellent!!! No complaints after at least a dozen visits over the past 3 years. Very romantic for date night & perfect for a lunch date with your bestie.

Good attempt at making a quite authentic French Bistro atmosphere. Good wine list. Carpaccio was nice but why served with Italian Parmesan when there are so many great French cheeses??? Pickles were light and perfect for me. Lobster pot pie a bit disappointing. More like a thin bisque with a few pieces of overcooked lobster. Nice presentation with shaped puff pastry. Profiteroles were certainly meant to share! However, not classical and from the freezer I believe. Service was OK but not outstanding. Quite a way for us, so not inclined to re visit.

We knew from past experience that the food was worth having outdoor seating as Bistro is humming with customers on a Friday evening. The food did not disappoint. My wife enjoyed a tasty salad (did say that perhaps it had a bit too much dressing, but that's a nit) followed by a hearty offering of mussels and fries. My onion soup was scrumptious. The red snapper (with fennel serving as a base) was very good. Perhaps I've gotten too used to mesquite grilled seafood as I thought it could have had a bit more flavor. Outstanding friendly and attentive service.
