The food but the variety or edgy bold dish is not there. Classic French menu but lacks the ambition it used to have.

Nice french restaurant with great quality & delicious food! The place has the vintage decor matching with the building history & the cabaret hall next to it, making you feel like in a different century. Good service overall & we'd love to go back.

Just really normal or below average French food. I guess for French food, we should go to more established places. Some of their menu aren't French & not so good.

Fantastic French food, very pleasant atmosphere, & super pleasant service! The cocktails, dessert, & coffee were also very good. One confusing thing was that a Negroni cocktail was $9, but a long island iced tea was $19. Either way, everything was great!

Old school classic French bistro with all the classic dishes you'd expect.
Very friendly staff, & good ambiance, it gets busy if there's a show nearby so I would recommend to reserve a table.
We had the fish soup with croutons & rouille, & the fish with green pepper sauce, it was great.
The Paris Brest for dessert was delicious. The wine list has plenty of interesting selections at average prices.
This place has been around for years for good reasons.
