This was where we chose for my best friend's bachelorette dinner, and she loved it. The ambiance is energetic, and the Christmas decorations make it festive and beautiful. I usually get the Filet Au Poivre, but this time I got the beef bourguignon, and it did not disappoint. The beef fell apart and the vegetables were tender and not overcooked. I also got a Caesar salad as an appetizer. That was fresh and the dressing was homemade. If you love anchovies like I do, this is an excellent salad! For a drink I chose the La Toissaint, and that was spectacular. I highly recommend this place if you love great food, great drinks and a festive atmosphere!

I’ve read some bad reviews, so I was a bit hesitant. But the experience was pretty good. We found food excellent: fresh oysters, beef tartar outstanding, very tasty burrata. Main course: excellent veal steak with mash. Service was attentive (maybe too much at some point), but we enjoyed it anyway. Nice ambiance
