Happy Hour Review: Came here around 5:20 and it was already filling up! Happy Hour is from 4-6pm Tues-Thursday. Friday all day. Either in the bar area (which does have high tops) or on the rooftop (if it's open--idk what the criteria is for it to be open).
Parking available in the garages or street. It does get pretty packed (even on a Tuesday).
Wanted to go to happy hour with some work friends to destress, and we sat in the bar area. Initially were gonna sit at the bar, but we wanted to see each other's and it was hard with 5 people. They were able to put 2 hightops together for us--which was so nice of them! Bartender was kind as well, gave us last call notices for end of happy hour to allow us to put it some last minute drink and food orders.
Food was delicious! Burger was so good-i ate the whole thing!! Frites were seasoned well and sauces were yummy!
Overall, had a blast and would love to come back and check out some other menu items. Happy hour menu is small but they have several options for food and drinks.

Great atmosphere, especially during happy hour throughout the week. Notably, there are fantastic and talented jazz musicians on Wednesday evenings from 5 to 7 followed by trivia at 7:15. Fair warning to expect entertainment to dominate those nights.
Ask for Gamal and Alberto- amazing bartenders.

We went with friends! The atmosphere, decor, food, drinks, and wait staff were excellent. The French Martini is to die for! Be careful though…they will sneak up on you! We started with appetizers of escargot and the cheese plate. Both were delicious! For entrees, my wife and my friend had the Bronzino, his wife had the mussels, and I had the steak frites! Amazing! After dinner we took over the rooftop bar as there was no one else up there! This was at 9 pm on a Saturday night! We had the bartender to ourselves, so we had her turn up the music and had a blast! We rewarded her for her time and she was very much appreciative! What a great evening!!!! Highly recommend!!!!

We love Cafe Colline and should have gone there. The server just didn't wait on us. Had to go to bar to order second drink, no water, food came late. Server team wanted to talk to each other rather than waiting on customers. I guess we should just have ordered takeaway.

Good was tasty but service was meh. And when we got the check, it automatically added a 20% tip and we were just a party of two. A bit annoying since the service was not that great and I would have probably not given the full 20%

Gratuity is theft. Great decor. Good food but there is better French. Service was friendly but understaffed. Will never return.

Love this food organization, so am sorry to rate our meal average this time around. First, they had no wine/beer on tap as described on menu. And while they offered alternatives, there was really no recognition that they failed on that front. "Just buy something else." Second, French onion soup had no onions. Just broth and croutons and cheese. Very disappointing. Salmon dinner was overcooked. With all that said, we loved the appetizers (escargot, goat cheese and pate liver). And still love this restaurant group (particularly Cafe Colline in Arlington VA). So, still highly recommend them! Just not a good night this time around.

Everyone in my party enjoyed the food and cocktails. Service was a little spotty and this is annoying since the 20% gratuity is automatically added. Noise level was much less than I expected after seeing pictures of it on Open Table.
We greatly appreciated the consideration of the staff. The walk to our table for two, both of us elderly and using canes, was difficult. The young host was apologetic and, unbidden, took the price of our soft drinks off the bill. We waited a bit long for our meals, but to be fair, it appeared that many dinners arrived at once. The food, a smash burger, and the salmon en croute, was very good.

I have taken many, many trips to France. The food here is as authenitically French and delicious as anywhere in Paris.

The service was not great and one of our dishes was supposed to be warm but was not fully heated but tasted in part like refrigerator. The restaurant itself was super cute however, so this was sad.
