Great place to spend a weekend afternoon. Waiting on the fun to begin with food and wine samples…read more Update: Despite the nice venue, gotta say there were some glitches that need to be worked out and shared. The event was advertised online with pre purchased tickets to start at 3. We showed up at 3 and were told that it actually started at 4. No problem, we had a drink inside and enjoyed the vibe. When we tried to cash out, it was a little difficult. There were extra people helping but they ignored me and my friend and walked away after clearing the men at the bar. When the bartender cashed us out, she charged us for the event that we'd purchase tickets for online and that was an ordeal trying to get a credit. As of the morning after, my bank account has a charge and no credit. All in all, I have 4 transactions (all charges) from them when there should be 2. The apps were a nice touch to the event and people seemed to be having fun.

We thoroughly toured the list of French wines, imbibed on a couple of their yummy cocktails (my friend loves the "Last Word"). Service was, of course, fantastic. The location is one of the most quaint and vibey in town (Morris Ave) and the food is certainly up to snuff. We split the famous potato appetizer and I had the half chicken for entree. Both outstanding.

We were able to make a reservation for inside dining which I liked because it was a hot June Alabama day, but I would have preferred outside because it was so loud inside, there was no sound suppression, and the tables were very close together. The outside patio was nice and covered. Next time I will request to sit outside. We started with the sourdough bread which I highly recommend! There was enough pieces to have one while you waited for your dinner, and to save one to eat with your dinner. My husband ordered the deviled eggs and really enjoyed them. For our entree, we shared the roasted chicken. It was a half chicken with lemon, garlic, shallots and potato gratin. It was plenty for both of us. We even had leftovers. This is probably because of the appetizers and we had stopped for drinks at Cayo Coco before dinner. We usually skip dessert, but my husband really wanted to try the chocolate custard, bittersweet chocolate custard with chantilly cream. The presentation was beautiful. I had a couple of bites and it also tasted amazing. Our waiter recommended a dessert wine that paired with the custard. He let us try a couple of sips, and the sweet fruitiness really made a difference. The service was amazing. We will definitely be back.

It was kind of slow and quiet, probably because it was midweek.... Allowed our party of 8 to communicate at a normal volume. Hunter was our server tonight... He was very friendly, polite and very thorough on explaining the menu to us. We had some fantastic wine and cocktails. The Bees Knees was amazing and highly recommended... fruity and floral notes. We ordered several appetizers... a cheese tray, pickled beets, Brussel sprouts, beet hummus and onion dip. The sprouts were served with a blue cheese aioli dip and I am not one for blue cheese, but I loved the dip. My favorite were the pickled beets with cheese... They looked like red fries with hair when they arrived at the table. The night ended with a complimentary round of limoncello shots for the group... Absolutely delicious!!! One of the best!!
