I brought a friend here from out of town on a nasty, rainy night. The atmosphere is so warm and toasty and the onion soup and coq au vin were perfect to lift our spirits. The staff didn't rush us, and were helpful and attentive. We had a wonderfulevening. This is my second visit and I'll be back.

We had a wonderful brunch before a matinee. The ambience was festive and fun, the food and drink superb--the bread truly tasted like a Parisian baguette--and we had the most terrific server ever. His name is Mamadou D'Yero and he was extremely friendly and helpful and completely charming. We will definitely be coming back.

The folks were kind and fun and made my daughter's birthday special. The fondu was incredible., the fries perfect. It took a pretty long time to get the main courses and by the time they came, a lot of it was cold and the kids didn't eat it. I asked to have my burger heated up, land et him know we were on a time crunch, but he said they would remake it- which was kind, but took more time. The desserts also took a lot of time, so much so that they covered the cost. Despite this, it was a wonderful place, perfect for folks who enjoy a cool atmosphere and are hoping to lounge for a good 2-3 hours.
