I wouldn't call the breakfast menu French by any means but they do have Belgian waffles and croissants so that might be enough for some. What was delicious was the American breakfast dishes including the eggs florentine and the biscuits and gravy. Really yum. The coffee could have been filled more often but the service was quite nice. Not to crowded 4th of July for breakfast which was appreciated. The place is giant and could be crowded at times but this particular morning it wasn't even remotely full. Nice and intimate cozy front cafe ish area and a bigger area for seating behind. Kid's menu pretty good too.

Breakfast early and then nightcap later in the evening. Eggs florentine were superb! The sausage gravy, although not typically southern style, was fabulous. Horse's neck cocktail was perfectly balanced.

We had a great lunch at Bristro Bis, great menu selection. What we enjoyed the most was the food proportion; just enough and plenty to fill one up, yet, not too much to over eat. The food presentation was exquisite and the service was excellent. Pricing is also reasonable. We would definitely return and recommend our Friends to try this restaurant.

Although the food was very good, the service was slow and lukewarm to single businesswomen dining alone. Braised short ribs presentation was nice but a very small portion. The side dish of mac and cheese with gruyere was excellent and made up for the skimpy entree.

Everything at this place is sooooo good! The burger, the fries, the ribeye, the appetizers, the liver, the apple tart. I don't think you could go to wrong with anything on this menu! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!
