    Overall the food was very good. Two things bothered me 1) the waiter told us we had two hours for the seating and 2) noise level from a 15 people bachelorette party was overwhelming. This is a nice small French inspired restaurant and to allow a massive group seating takes away from the charming ambiance. Why do 15 people have to all sit together?

    Overall experience was positive. Unfortunately the Daily Fish Special (Cod) was mediocre. Small serving, highly overpriced @ $50.00. Definitely go with the Trout.

    This place is a gem. Service is always top notch and the food delicious. The menu could change a little more selon la saison, but it certainly is one of Savannah's best.

    Very comfortable and appealing surroundings. Off to a great start. However, our server was indifferent and inattentive. Food was average for the price. Soggy frites. Fish was over priced. Sorry, would not recommend.

    Consistently good local favorite. I love that they are open late, as a classy after-event spot. Booked a quiet table for business dinner and, as-always, enjoyed the cozy basement seating. Food and drinks were great. Our server, Emily, was especially great, allowing us a long dinner, and solicitous service without disrupting. She was perfect. My favorite menu item of all time was the Frisée aux Lardons salad, which had a beautiful smoky flavor and delicate dressing. I love that slad so much I have ordered two. Please bring this back in its original form (original dressing) ASAP.

    The special was excellent and so was the service was also excellent and very friendly. This is one of our favorite places. The only suggestion we have is that they update their chairs. They are not very comfortable and not easy on the back.

    Loved our server, Emily. However, restaurant does not keep up their website or fb page. Went expecting cassoulet and the server told us haven't had that dish in a while. While the doneness of the dishes were correct, the combinations (confit duck with egg noodles and doused with gravy) and the seasoning was a little lacking.
