I had steak tartare and french fries and both were excellent. I also had an appetizer, which I don't recall, but which was very good as well. Great atmosphere. My one complaint is that I called a couple hours before going to see if I could make a reservation for 8pm on a Thursday night, and was told it was full. I called 20 minutes before going and was again told that the restaurant was full. I went anyway and it was 80% empty (!?!??!). Nevertheless, I'm only taking one star off because the food was that good and the service was good as well.

Every bite was glorious and my husband, who eats everything, was in love. The menu is 3 courses, but they do have other options (no need though). Also, we had eaten at restaurants that were way more expensive but not nearly as good. On top of that the owners were attentive, warm and welcoming.

A definite plus point is the wine menu, which is wonderfully refreshing. Food-wise, the starters were full of flavors but I wasn't impressed with the mains.
