    Finally, a great Neighbourhood French bistro! We had brunch. The food was outstanding. My wife had the Croque Madame which lived up to the flavor profile we all imagine when we think of a great Croque madame. My braised beef Benedict was amazing the red wine reduction sauce when mixed with the hollandaise produced a unique taste. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The sidewalk patio is very charming. We will certainly return.

    Fantastic food, as always! The service is always impeccable. We ordered three of the four daily pastries- each was better then the one before (our favorite was the strawberry, rhubarb, & foie pastry- but we would happily order everything we ate again), we also ordered the salmon dish and the banh mi pate en croute- it was all the flavors you would expect from a banh mi, but completely reinvented, it was fantastic. The drinks were great, and our server (Jordan) was great with recommendations! A great meal each time I have the pleasure of visiting.

    Excellent food! Everything we had was top notch. I had the Trout Almondine and my husband had the Bordelaise steak frites, and both were mouth wateringly good. We went for my sister’s birthday, and everything was perfect. Highly recommend!!
