Good French cuisine, great service, but does get loud when the restaurant is busy. We came here for the three course meal that was part of their NYE 25 celebration. Good deal for appetizer, entree, and dessert. Meals were the perfect portion and staff were very attentive.

Had dinner here on a busy Saturday night and overall had a good experience with a few things worth noting. The restaurant has a lively vibe and was completely packed. The tables are very close together, so definitely not the place for a quiet, private meal. We started with the escargot, which was excellent. The snails were tender, the garlic-parsley butter was rich and flavorful, and it was a strong start to the meal. My only critique was for the bread service: it didn’t arrive until our appetizer was already on the table, and it came out plain with nothing to spread on it. A good French butter, and bringing it out before the appetizer, would have elevated the start. For our entrées, we ordered the scallops special and the steak frites.

The only thing I’d change is the dipping sauce — ketchup didn’t quite fit; an aioli would’ve been perfect. The mussels in garlic and white wine sauce were out of this world — tender, flavorful, and served with fresh baguette bread in a cute little burlap bag. The baguette was perfect for sopping up all that incredible garlicky white wine broth once the mussels wer
