Food was very ordinary. The menu sounded amazing, but in execution, it fell flat. Lots of the things we had tasted quite bland. The restaurant is gorgeous & the staff was really nice & attentive. It was extremely loud we had to yell to hear each other. Would definitely come back for just a drink. Will not eat here again.
Amazing place! Went for jazz night & loved it. Our waiter, Gallene, was super friendly & gave excellent wine recommendations. We had the oysters & duck & scallop skewers to start - both delicious. For mains, the rigatoni & grilled maitake were outstanding (the focaccia was perfect for soaking up the sauce!). Can't wait to go back!
Curbside terrace & great weather set the evening off. Very good & knowledgeable servers. Good beer & cocktail/mocktail list, & great wine lists with advice & patience from staff in choosing. Great frites, good steak.
Pastas very good. Cod looked & smelled delicious.

We reserved for 20 people for a birthday & it was great. Restaurant gave us options of different set menus (with different price points) to choose from before our arrival & also let us bring our own cake & balloons. The agreed-upon minimum spend for our group was very reasonable & fair. They set us up in a semi-private room with our own bartender where it was a serve-yourself style dinner. All the staff was very welcoming, nice & accommodating, & the food was absolutely delicious, with several non-meat available options. 11/10 would recommend in a heart beat & will definately be back in a large group setting.
Overall cute bistro with good wine & meh cocktails. very mid food for the price but it's next to milky way if you're waiting for a table. The service was the most disappointing. I would have tried some wine…it is a wine bar!! But the bartender was unapproachable & uninterested so I got a cocktail that was worse than what I could make at home. How do you mess up a negroni when it's 3 ingredients?
We had our engagement party in their private section, & the staff made sure that the night was unforgettable.
First, Thomas helped us organize the event & made sure everything was well set up for our guests. The private section was perfect, we were even able to come ahead of time to set up decorations.
Second, during the night, the staff was awesome. Sam & Brittany were super friendly & kind & made sure everyone was having a good time & good drinks. The chef even came out to make sure the food was great.
Overall, everyone had a incredible time & all the credits goes to the staff for ensuring that the event went smoothly.
Loved the live jazz! Was an awesome evening on the terrace, food was decent, somewhat overpriced for what it is. Would return, good date place or to come with friends. Waiters were friendly, however service at table could be improved, we sometimes waited a very long time between plates(to have a second order of food, as the waitress recommended).
J'ai été charmé du début à la fin. Le décor, l'ambiance, la bouuuuufffe ! Drinks impeccables, les frites & l'aïoli exceptionnellement tendres & goûteuses, la morue délicate & cuite à la PERFECTION. C'est pas compliqué j'ai tout aimé. J'y retournerais sans hésitation. Je suis in looove avec ce charmant resto.
