    Perfectly wonderful French food, wait staff attentive and fun, very very expensive! and unfortunately, so noisy we couldn't talk without shouting, gave me a headache. But if you can stand the noise, it's a major treat!

    The delicious food beautifully prepared and presented by stellar staff make this a destination that never disappoints. Excellent vol au vent, stellar scallop dish, & the sauce in the pork loin makes it and the accompaniments really sing. Great for the relaxing evening I needed this visit but also for celebration dinners. J’adore!

    The food was delicious and the chef/owner is so nice and fun. He spent with every table and was very informative about wine. We will definitely return and recommend to friends, a true neighborhood gem.

    Wonderful cuisine and excellent service. I felt like I was in a France. We enjoyed the specialty cocktails, the to-die-for bread. We had the grand menu: branzino and filet mignon, after onion soup and mesclun salad. I highly recommend this restaurant.
