If you are a brunch kind of person, this is definitely the place for you! I had the most delicious french toast with bacon and fruit. The wait was a little long and the place was packed for brunch, just like any other good brunch place, though. Make a reservation before you go and you will probably not wait more... More

This place advertises itself as a French Brasserie cum wine bar (bistro a vins, if one wants be snobbish about it.) Unfortunately, it is neither. The decor is quite French, complete with the right verbiage, chalk board menus, and vintage posters hanging on the walls. The food is boring, standard French: steak frites and the likes. But I must say... More

The waiter was super nice here. While we enjoyed dessert, the meal was super salty. Have eaten here more than once and always found the food too salty. I think I am giving up on this one.

I met up with an old friend here for dinner. It was a Saturday night and is clearly an extremely popular South End restaurant with a great atmosphere. Deservedly so-the food tasted very very good. My fish portion was rather nouvel cuisine in size, but the food is rich and if you have 2 or 3 courses it is more... More

Went here with partner and two friends in April. We shared two starters, one escargot and one pan fried foie gras with marmalade and a sort of ginger bread ($14). Both were good. If I'm being picky, the gingerbread and marmalade were too sweet and the liver was a tiny bit burnt on the surface, but it was very tasty.... More

My mother, who also lives in Back Bay, takes people visiting the city or good friends on special occasions. The food is creative and wonderful, service excellent and the experience is always positive.

Innovative brunch menu, dishes perfectly executed. Excellent service even when crowded. Mimosas made with blood orange juice was awesome.
