This is a very nice restaurant. Nice decor and good wait staff. The food was very good too. I had the duck risotto, and my friend the vegetarian risotto. Both were great - the vegetarian one even better than the duck one! Dessert was quite good too. Everything was great, but nothing was too out-of-this-world. Quite pricey too. more

our family of three arrived after a full day of walking in boston/cambridge (in the rain) to a wonderfully sublime dining experience. The interior of the restaurant was in beautiful wood tones, subdued lighting, calming and appropriate music and the glass ware glistened in the low lights. We began with a unusual salad of mixed greens, strawberries and a cream... more

We are never disappointed when we visit this restaurant. If you are looking for fabulous French food in the Long Wharf area, this is where to go. Great service and nice surroundings go along with the delicious food. more

My husband, 13 month old daughter and myself were visiting Boston and decided to try this restaurant out after researching it online. We went to dinner around 5pm b/c our daughter eats early so we had the place to ourselves. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. We brought our own baby seat that attaches to the table and... more

Went to Boylston St for brunch. Don't sit downstairs-- very cold! We were seated upstairs, but behind a curtain. Apparently no one wanted to serve us -- after10 minutes of no attention, I had to get up and flag down a waiter. Then we saw our waiter argue with another and we got a new waiter. That waiter messed up... more

I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for quite awhile. Finally got there today for lunch and had the panko encrusted pan fried chicken with pearled barley risotto ($12). The chicken was rather bland and unexciting. The risotto had large bitter chunks of lemon rind in it (I think it was supposed to be a creative twist on... more
