    What an awesome little French restaurant - very authentic. The fresh bread and butter was incredible and the meals are also really well sized. We also had a really great bottle of wine that went with everything. Croquettes and parfait I recommend!

    This is an extremely good French restaurant serving fantastic tasting food along with friendly good service plus a great feel to the place. The crab croquettes where very good, along with the eye fillet, cooked perfectly. Also, was very impressed with the wine list and enjoyed a bottle of Chorey-les-Beaune

    Great ambience, exceptional service and authentic food. Second time here - recommend the duck confit, although you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

    This is a great local French restaurant with friendly and quick service. The duck pate is a must! The mains of lamb shank and beef bourguignon is on par with other French bistros.

    Wife was a little apprehensive about some of the reviews regarding the service before booking but decided to give it a try for our date night nonetheless. I’m glad she did. Was a late dinner for us but we were warmly welcomed in at 815. The place was full with most diners on their desserts. It’s somewhat dimly lit, with posters and photos of all things France framed and posted around the wall. A fireplace and some French music in the background rounds up the ambiance. The service, we didn’t get any of the snobbery we read about. There was only the owner and a young French waitress on that night. They tended to us well, entertained my stupid questions and were friendly at the same time and offered to take photos for us when we were struggling with selfies. No issues here at all. As for the food. Classic French bistro done well. Entree: duck rillette was served with pickled cucumbers, walnuts and house bread. It’s good, something we would find France. The cheese soufflé was puffy and had a nice bland of cheese, none over powering all balanced in harmony. The acidic side salad served the purpose to refresh the mouths after each bite. Mains: The beef cheeks was melt in the mouth tender, swimming in a thick gravy served with mash. The farmhouse rabbit also tender, served with carrots and mash with a delicious sauce with hints of celery and mustard, a nice balance of acidity. Had a glass of Bourgogne Pinot and syrah to wash it all down.

    The food is traditional in this French bistro. It's well presented and tasty. The steak tartare was excellent as was the eye fillet. The staff were friendly and helpful. We'll return to try other dishes.

    Lovely atmosphere and have been here twice. I think this restaurant must have changed hands from the chef that was here in 2020? My partner requested medium to well cooked eye fillet...came out basically blue. They even butterflied it and still stuffed it up. For 47 dollars this is pretty meh. My partner was loathe to order dessert but my creme brullee was ok. I received a glass that was cracked and this was replaced promptly. The waitress did a great job as they seemed understaffed. Probably will give this place a miss moving forward.

    Excellent restaurant! Wonderful food and good wine list. Warm, intimate ambience that enables long relaxed conversations. The restaurant is good for celebrations and also for when you’ve just had a long day at the office and just want a quiet evening with your partner. The food is very much authentic French.
