With the economy our trips to Paris are getting further apart...my wife loves the French onion soup - which I don't eat because it is covered with a thick layer of melted cheese - not my style. The lobster bisque is the way to go. Last time we were there also went with the glasses of wine which is a... more

We found the staff friendly, a wonderful ambiance, and good food, but not great. I strongly suggest you stick with the steak frites and don't venture into their 'French' specialties. The sauces were quiet and for the meats, a smoky almost burnt flavor rather than the delicate enhancing essence that you find in a true high end French restaurant. It... more

We rarely go to French restaurants so were excited to try something new. We made a reservation but it wasn't needed since we were the only ones there at 5:30 on a Friday evening.

We ate in the downstairs bistro, a little room with a cozy romantic atmosphere. The duck and the beef tenderloin were both fantastic--cooked perfectly, delicious sauces and the best asparagus I've ever eaten. The prices aren't cheap, but the meals come with salad, potato and vegetable, so that adds a lot of value. Good service--professional and friendly. We will definitely... more

My wife and I have enjoyed the Pot au Feu for many years and often stop by for special occasions like an anniversary. The menu is limited but has some wonderful country french fare and an excellent selection of french wines. Try their beef bouguignon! My wife will also tell you they make a superb creme brulee. more
