😛🇫🇷French Feast !! 🇫🇷😛 We made a resy for Saturday night about 2 weeks in advance and got a prime time and spot. I recommend you make a reservation! The staff were fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect for the cuisine. The dining area is cozy and full which makes you feel like you’re where you need to be. It was just two of us and we did everything a la carte as it was slightly cheaper than the prix fix. I will start by saying the Steak Tartare that we ordered was the best I have ever had. It was unbelievably flavorful in the best way — this is an absolute must get! We also had the Crawfish Rice, the pan roasted chicken, the green cabbage, and the gnocchi. We were recommended by many to get the chicken so this was a must, it was very delicious. Very similar to a chicken Marsala but more so in a light way. The cabbage was an outstanding dish, flavors we haven’t had ever and was a MUST get for the table. The gnocchi is such a safe bet. It was crispy on the outside but fluffy like mashed potatoes on the inside, all tossed in brown butter. So comforting and tasty! We did not get any dessert as 5 dishes for 2 people was more than enough. Our waiter Noah was so fantastic as well. We also had cocktails and they are also exquisite. Next time I stop in, we will do wine as their menu is so extensive and very wide selection of French wine!

What a wonderful restaurant. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, with delicate, well-balanced flavors. The stuffed chicken wings are exceptional, and the crawfish risotto is absolutely outstanding. 100% recommend. The waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel warm and welcoming.

Female hostess on Sunday 2/15 was not friendly or accommodating. Male manager up front was nice & helpful. Gnocchi was delicious, beet salad Ok (a bit heavy with syrup?) oysters were good, drinks = delish. Maybe my eyes were to blame, but I didn’t see any wine under $25+ per glass, which seems like a miss - even for a very nice place? Semi-recommend.

What an experience. The food is fabulous and the restaurant is well staffed and well themed. Got pretty loud, but everything else was phenomenal. Pictured are the pistachio, goat cheese beets, chicken wings, lionsman, pan-seared gnocchi, skirt steak, salad and honey cake dessert. It was exceptional.

I haven’t written a negative review in a really long time because I truly feel bad for establishments who work so hard, so here goes. We came in to celebrate our anniversary here and were met with a slightly negative experience. The cream puffs were burnt and extremely unpleasant to taste. I made it pretty clear I did not eat them, sent the whole thing back and was still charged for it since it was a part of the tasting menu. The server also did not offer to replace the desert with another item to make up for the negative experience. She did however asked if I wanted another one of the same cream puffs to go. No maam! Definitely don’t want another one of those burnt horrors. I also don’t mean to sound entitled but there wasn’t anything done as a stand out to make the dinner special. This must be me overthinking things because of the burnt cream puffs, but I would’ve rather them not have done anything at all than have stuck a candle in a dessert I was already paying for as part of the tasting menu. I’d love to hear other opinions on this but I almost felt betrayed for them acting like they were surprising us with something we ordered and were already paying for. Their steak was extremely rare. To a point where it felt highly uncomfortable and chewy (like raw chewy). I also strongly felt like their tasting menu was not good value for money. We both opted for the tasting menu and later realized each and every portion is just a single serving of their ala carte items just expected to be split between two people. There were two off menu items but both felt like filler items to make up for the menu and we would have been better off ordering items of our choice instead. Once you add everything up, you are MUCH better off ordering Ala carte since you get to opt out of dishes that don’t appeal to you. I do, however, like giving credit where it’s due. Their red snapper topped with the spicy mole sauce was absolutely phenomenal. Truly, one of the more flavorful servings of fish I have tasted. Their beef tallow fries were also extremely top-notch.
