- Nikhita KhanduriJune 30, 2016Charming place for romantic dates. Try the special set menu for lunch/dinner OR the galettes, chicken liver pâté and the crêpes; a French dining experience that will not burn a hole in your pocket.Upvote2Downvote
MalinDecember 29, 2017i liked this place a lot, it has authentic french flair and the dinner was good. I don‘t quite understand the below average rating on foursquare, in my opinion this is a very nice french bistro!

Bevan ChuangMay 2, 2013Food was alright. A little clumpsy today. Onion Soup was filled with onion and no sight of soup. Escargoes came without the bread that should be there. Fish in the crepe was overdone. Lovely staff!UpvoteDownvote

Cristina CostacheDecember 3, 2014Rude staff and disappointing service! I cannot say anything about the food as the waiter just threw us out because he forgot to reserve our table. Incredible rude!UpvoteDownvote
