    "On Sundays, a mandatory three-course prix fixe for an easy $29, can start with deeply flavorful cream of onion soup that vanquishes thoughts of the more pedestrian French onion soup." - Nov '12 Issue
  • Northern Virginia Magazine
    A mound of creamy, chilled goat cheese drizzled with charming basil oil, sea salt-studded melons and vinaigrette-drenched micro greens sum up summer deliciously. - November 2011 issue

    Delicious - Shrimp Beignets, Fried Green Tomato appetizers fab. Paella distinctive and delicious. Good wines. Good Service. Not too noisy. Tuesday's prix fixe - $30/person.

    Make sure to make reservation during holidays and weekends as they get full quite easily. Also try there three course menu, which include specials of the day.

    Shrimp beignets were the highlight of our meal. Profiteroles had a surprising but welcome sweet and salty flavor.

    The Foi Gras was excellent! They had fried frog legs (a la buffalo wing style) in honor of Super Bowl!

    They make their mimosas with Rosé. Super delicious! The steak in the steak & eggs is really tender and juicy, too!

    Three-course prix-fixe brunch is always good

    The food would be barely passable in France. The wine I got was corked and the profiteroles did not use real chocolate.

    Pricey, but overall a good experience. The entrecot was well cooked and full of flavor. Very decent wine menu. The decor is ordinary, like the service. Don't expect a michelin star experience.
