Very friendly servers (even when your preferred language is English) & delicious food. There were plenty of other patrons, but we were able to grab a table without a reservation. Very welcoming experience overall. We started with empanadas which we were so, so good. 100% try those if you come by--I really enjoyed the spinach one. For entrees, both I and my boyfriend ate the steak which was delicious--wine and cocktails too. Certainly would return to keep trying more of the food.

We started with the pate de campange served with cornichon, as well as the obligatory escargot. Both were great starters, but wish they weren't out of the bone marrow (yum). I had a wonderful beouf tartare. The beef was superbly fresh and seasoned more the French style. They offered Tabasco and Worcestershire if I wanted it, but it was perfect as-is. T My wife had the onglet and it was divine. Perfectly med rare on the French scale, and again, perfectly seasoned. The frites on both dishes as well as the salad were great. As we got to know the staff, now our friends Liloo, Mahmoud, and Otto, we were chatting it up for a bit. They gave us some Chartreuse at the end of the meal on the house. Never had it before but it was like sipping an herb garden. So delish. Thank you my friends for looking out for us and helping us have a wonderful meal.

5 star dining experience for taste and quality. However, with that said, the ONLY dinner items…read morethey serve are steak (with gravy - kind of mustardy taste) and fries. Your starter is a salad with a mild horseradishy sauce. All items are simple and delicious. There are about 12 dessert choices that are NOT included in the dinner price. We had three different items and they were all delicious. About 8€ each. If you want to get seated when you are hungry, you need to get in line outside 30 to 45 minutes in advance. The service is very friendly and quick. The restaurant is nice but comfortable nice not fancy smancy. Go and enjoy!

I didn't mind the wait if the food was good, but it wasn't the case for me. The mustard dressing salad was ok but the steak was so dry and I could eat only 3 slices. The waitress was very nice. She encouraged me to eat more but I just couldn't. I told her that I would skip the second plate. She actually packed the leftover for me but the food which didn't taste good then wouldn't taste good later, either. I had a bite of the steak later but I still didn't like it. The wine also tasted like water. We just laughed how bad everything was. This place is popular among tourists and I fell for it. Anyway I thought I should share my experience.

Great salad dressing but the steak and fries which you get two rounds of for 30 euros. That's a steal!
