Service: 10/10. Not a fine dining venue, but the service provided by Head Chef Jo Chan and server Finneus welcomed us from the moment we arrived. In fact, due to rain, the service arrived earlier than our reservation time when Jo called us to offer us indoor seating.
While I looked at the menu ahead of time, Finneus provided us with detailed and knowledgeable recommendations. From the small plate and large plate reccs, to the wine pairings and table service throughout our meal, Finneus represented the establishment well and made it so that we can focus all of our energy on our company.
While it was $18 for the croquettes, the flavors, textures and presentation were well enjoyed. The French Onion Soup was not bland (as described by another reviewer here), and in fact was pretty good for the cool rainy evening. Sure, maybe not the onion soup you'd get at a 5-star French restaurant, but certainly met our expectations and was just right for what we were looking for.
The Duck Leg Cassoulet was hearty, complete with three different proteins (duck, venison sausage, and beans), and the Moules Frites Postales (not the original, but the other one) had much more of a profile than other mussel dishes in the area AND served with both French bread and fries.
Could have done without the side of carrots. Probably will not order again, and instead maybe add another small plate as a starter.
We look forward to returning for the steak during brunch.
Overall, if you're looking for a top notch French restaurant, you may have your critiques. This is a warm and welcoming neighborhood restaurant with a creative concept. The service, alone, will bring us back! read more
