Lovely. Small but precise menu. Escargots cooked with plenty of garlic, olive oil, and parsley...divine to mop up with excellent bread. The half chicken was generous in size (will end up being three meals) and cooked perfectly if a tad too salty what with the copious amount of lardon. A truly sweet establishment.
Fantastic service and food! As a minority I generally don’t get offered good seating at restaurants, but right here I was offered with good seating!!! I was treated with respect. Staff are super friendly and professional. Menu incorporated seasonal dishes, I would be back again!
Superbly prepared French cuisine in a lively informal serving. Original menu and cocktails. This place flies under the radar, but it ranks with the best.
