Took my mom here who is celiac for her birthday. They were so helpful & the food was delicious! Amazing service, the night felt very special. I love when a waiter is kind, fun & helpful. I will definitely come back in the future! Couldn't recommend more.

Visited this establishment this past weekend, on September 6th, for brunch during a day trip to the city with my classmates. We came by at around 11am & our party of 9 was easily accommodated. The service was quick & we were able to get our orders in right away.

My table ordered an assortment of beverages & meals, but I went with a hot chai latte & the french toast. We received our drinks first & didn't have to wait too long for our food to arrive. While the french toast was delicious, it did not fill me up. I was almost shocked at how quickly I ate it as it felt like I hadn't eaten anything at all. The others in my party who also ordered the french toast thought the same, so I knew it wasn't just me. We ended up supplementing our hunger by eating the leftover homefries that those who ordered sandwiches couldn't finish. If the french toast came with something else on the side, like the homefries, then I would've been more satisfied with my meal.

Other than that, we had a great time overall. The place is super cute in the interior & the service was great overall. Our servers were kind & didn't hesitate to answer any of our questions about the menu.

I would still recommend you come here, but to order something heavier, like the omelette, croque monsieur, or breakfast sandwich if you're really hungry. The french toast wouldn't be a bad option if you are looking for something light!

La nourriture est excellente. Nous y avons mangé mieux que certains restos de Paris! Le tartare de boeuf est succulent, je vous recommende les escargots au vin blanc & fromage & le suprême de poulet cuit à la perfection. Pas un match avec le serveur & nous avons manqué d'eau mais un endroit très agréable néanmoins!

Beautiful place with amazing food, & equally amazing service & ambiance.
We had lunch on the patio, & Callum was our waiter - he was funny & naturally friendly! For food we had Gnoicchi - Wow - & CheeseBurger - also really great! Chocolate cake for dessert (made in house) didn't disappoint either; & cocktails were unique & refreshing.

PS: I am so sorry, I think I miss calculated the $ value of the Tip in my head, & left smaller tip than was deserved. We went back the next evening - Callum wasn't working.

Perfect spot for authentic French food. It's a little bit of a walk off of the main drag but totally worth it. Everything was cooked to perfection & absolutely delicious. My favorites were the French Onion Soup, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, & Steak Frites (the meat was so soft & buttery!). I only wish I had saved room for dessert!
