Really glad I tried this place. Everything from the service to the food was great. The escargot were delicious. Pork Parmesan was different but in a good way.

This is simply the best French restaurant that is reasonably priced too. The filet with blue cheese sauce is my favorite, the rice is absolutely delicious!! The mushroom soup is unreal, it’s such a hard choice to decide between the mushroom soup and escargot! Sometimes we just get both. I’ve tried several other items from the menu and have never been disappointed. The staff if always personable and surprisingly remembered us and our preferred bottle of wine after the first time we had dined. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and clean. This is by far our favorite restaurant for a delicious French cuisine! (I wish I would have thought to take a pic of our steak but I just wanted to dig right in!) pics- mushroom soup and bistro salad YUM

What a great surprise to find a good French restaurant near me. We had the B beef bourguignon and the cassoulet. Delicious food and wine selections. I will definitely be a client.

I am visiting the area and came here for dinner with my relatives who are regulars. It had the same atmosphere as a restaurant in Paris, with staff who were just as friendly. I am not much of a meat eater but I ordered the Pork Parmesan upon recommendation and my god was it delicious. The food tasted just as good as Parisian food. I hardly finish full servings at restaurants and here I did. We also ordered a desert which was pretty good: something simple and sweet to satiate your palette. I don’t remember what it was called, but it is a crepe with ice cream inside. The owner even let me go back and see the griddle they used for crepes when we inquired. Overall great experience, and outs other dining experiences to shame. Eating out will never be the same after this!

We wanted to go somewhere special on our anniversary! Great place to celebrate! Sitting outside is the best! Our waiter was French and very kind. We enjoyed a glass of Bourdeaux and a Pampelmouse rose to start! We enjoyed the Chef selections that had salad or appetizer with your entree. We had a Gorgonzola walnut salad and garden salad with creamy acidic vinaigrette. The entrees were pork Parmesan with scalloped potatoes and vegetable medley. Also the Fish Nicoise with flounder with peppers, onions and olives. Would have preferred briny olives. It was tasty. For dessert we had Crepe with orange marmalade and the creme brulee with Nutella underneath! All was a treat

Lovely restaurant with wonderful character. Staff very attentive. Menu is extensive with all your French favorites. My French Onion soup was the best I've ever had with layers of cheese in the broth. My Pork Parmesan was flavourful, creamy and simply divine. We were too full for dessert so will be back for crepes.
