Excellent French bistro

It was a little crowded with the doctor that it took a while for them to be ready to take our order. However the service was quick and professional bread and butter are excellent appetizers we had which included escargot and duck mousse were super....Our main course is well excellent they included trout scallops and steak and breaded veal cutlets. The company ones were very nice the presentation was excellent and the desserts were very nice. I would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyoneMore

Pediatric conference

Very Nice atmosphere . Did remind me of France. Quaint, food simple, well prepared. All waiters are waiting on you and service was fast! I came because of the other reviews and that the owner answers all of them personally!!! Impressive. I had the trout....It was light, which is good, watching my weight. Needed a little salt. That’s ok. Much worse if the food is salty.More

Nice Food

Visited here recently as could not find anywhere decent on "dirty 6th St". You will find it just of a side street. My fish was vey nice and my Wife also enjoyed here food. Apart from the " snails" i am not quite sure what...was very french about it. For our main meals and two drinks, one alocoholic we paid $70 incl tip. I would certainly eat here again but would not go.massively out of my way to do so and if your looking for authentic French i am not sure this would fulfill your requirements.More

Amazing food, excellent service

The first thing I noticed is that you dont have one specific server but you interact with the entire staff. I have never experienced that but really enjoyed it. It appears as a family environment which is great. The food and wine were amazing. The...pate was very flavorful. Steak was cooked perfectly. Creme brulee was amazing. Overamm great environment and service.More

Slice of France + Old-Austin

This time-tested staple is not to be missed. I think I used to be under-whelmed by it’s modest and humble atmosphere. However, now that I spent time in France, I’ve come to learn it’s truly authentic. My husband has had the steak frites (tasty and...reliable) several times recently and I’ve had both that and the salmon. The salmon is my new favorite - prepared simply and perfectly. Salads are always fresh and lightly dressed. Save room for dessert! I’m celiac and I haven’t had any trouble here - very accommodating and little requires modification.More
