We had a pretty bad experience. We were seated right up in the barman's workstation. He was courteous, nothing against him, but it was uncomfortable to sit so close to a barman making drinks for an entire restaurant. Rush, rush, rush, & just so loud. We had 16 inches between ourselves & his workstation. & behind us was the path to & fro the kitchen. So it was hectic & not enjoyable. They shouldn't sit people there.

The food was very acidic. Like almost everything was too acidic. The appetizers were underwhelming. The steak very chewy & hard to cut. The fries were pale & limp. But at least the boudin was good. Overall the food was very meh. But it could have still been enjoyable if they sat us elsewhere because the restaurant does look cute.

As we had made a reservation, I got an email prompting me to leave a review. I let them know our experience in private. No response or acknowledgement. So here we go…on Google maps.

1. Staff was super helpful, patient & friendly
2. The vibe was chill; felt like I was travelling to somewhere else
3. The taste, tenderness of the duck & the drinks were immaculate.
4. I got really sick after (food poisoning) & it was a painful experience. I'm not sure which meal but everything came up later that night if you know what I mean. Nausea, body aches & headaches the next day. This review is not to slander; this was MY experience.

We ordered the steak medium-rare, but it's totally burnt. The surface of the steak was really bitter, & since it wasn't cheap, I'm really disappointed. However, the server was really nice.

Restaurant incr, meilleur limonade que j'ai jamais bu. Pas trop amer, mais on a le goût du citron, pétillant mais pas trop & sucré mais pas énormément. La perfection.
Petits plats simples & délicieux !

Classic French bistro where you know exactly what you're getting. No surprises, just everything executed well & true to what it should be. The escargots, the hanger steak, the duck breast & the rice pudding are all really good. You eat well from start to finish, entrée, main, dessert.
