Great little find

by napanancy

My husband and I were looking for a unique lunch spot and the sandwich board on the sidewalk caught our eye. The bartender opened the door for us and the owner seated us promptly. Our French server showed a little attitude, but it was charming and reminded one of being in France. The food was spectacular! We got the lunch special which was reasonably priced and included a wonderful cup of pureed root vegetable soup. The service was efficient and attentive. We were there past 2:00 when they closed for lunch and the chef appear in the dining room to a round of applause from a group of 8 women sitting near us. Very charming.

• Pros: Food, ambience

Good food , but rude staff

by patrickbad

I definetly loved the food. It was very good. Whoever is in the kitchen knows his/her stuff. However the dealbreaker for me is rude service. And our waiter was very rude. I asked to see the manager and he ignored me. When I tried to get ahold of him myself. He was on the phone and refused to get off. I will never go back. Which is too bad with such great food.

• Pros: Food, location, food
• Cons: Service, waiter, manager

Reminded me of my trips to France - I loved this place

by bikracer

My girlfriends and I went here for dinner on a recent trip to the city. The food and service were wonderful. The chef even said good-bye to us when we left. We were all very impressed with the presentation and the flavor of the food we had. The servings were reasonable so we were able to enjoy a dessert from their dessert menu. They had a pear dessert (can't remember the name) that was "to die for". It was a creamy delicately sweetened custard with poached pear slices arranged on top.

We asked the waiter to recommend a wine and he recommended one that was not only reasonably priced but went perfectly with our food choices.

My only warning is, they don't take American Express so bring either cash or a Visa/Mastercard.

• Cons: Don't take American Express.
