Had the croissant which was very buttery. In fact, it's been an hour later and I can still sell butter. Also had a gigantic painier that was delicious but a touch on the chewy side, which made my jaw tired, 3/4 way into eating it. Service is a bit rushed as they are trying to process people even though it wasn't busy. They will be helpful but you can tell they don't have time for people and take too long.

The owner is straight forward to warn larger groups of the small tight spaces up top and wards off any NBA players without helmets as their is low clearance upstairs. The menu is all French and limited English by the servers but it's easy enough to navigate. We came with 5 for Sunday brunch and sat right away but one had to sort of share space at the table. We ordered mixes of omelettes and Benedicts. All came with nice small whole potatoes and a little sour cream. You can modify or add quite a bit. Eggs are your choice of style ultimately and apparently the brunch includes pancakes. We were confused by that and they come after you've eaten the other items. I'm not sure if we paid for that or not but we chose to move on without. It came with your choice of tea or coffee AND a small orange juice. The eggs were cooked very delicately and moist with cheese and good meat in the omelette. Overall it was a fine breakfast compared to croissants and coffee but a little expensive.

Of course, I had the tuna once again. Our daughter is visiting us now and loves seared tuna so, of course, we took her here a couple days ago. She agrees with me! My husband has had something different on each of the three visits and enjoyed what he had (he had their salmon most recently). Needless to say, we would love to come back!

J'y suis passée deux fois à la rentrée 2014. Ce bistrot m'a tellement marqué que je me permets d'aller contre mes principes et de publier une critique négative. Les prix sont chers et la cuisine surgelée. Le service est lent, mais pas désagréable. En revanche, la qualité des plats, ça ne se pardonne pas ! Au vu des prix, j'espérai déjeuner quelque chose de bon et fait maison. Mais non. Passez votre chemin. read more

Instead, they celebrate the simple elegance of French cooking, where impeccable ingredients and flawless execution speak for themselves.

Regardless - on to the food. I ordered the steak and fries. The steak was very well cooked and the butter on top was parsley and garlic infused. However, there was something missing. The fries were nicely crisp and the meat was very well cooked; however, both were missing an element of taste. If I could shorten the review of my entree to 1 sentence, it would be: The textures were all there, but the flavor was lacking.
