    Great food and service. The Onion Soup is especially good. Los of flavor without being overly salty.

    This remains my favorite restaurant. The cuisine, especially the duck, is to die for. The waiters are always the best! I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Reservation does require early planning as prime dinner hours are difficult to get. Recommend booking 2weeks in advance but worth while.

    Victor was our server and he was amazing! Everything he recommended was as delicious as promised! We lived in Paris for two years and this meal topped the charts!! Run to try their escargots! We also had their endive salad, pork chop, and the star of the show was Cassolet!!! Sooo good!

    Food & Service was exceptional. The place was quaint but a bit crowded which makes it a little noisy. Parking was easy enough if youre willing to shell out $19.00 for 2 hours. Great experience, would definitely visit again soon.

    We are regular customers of this fabulous local restaurant at the junction of Hillcrest and Bankers Hill, although not always via OpenTable, and had another great meal last night. My wife had the steak frites and I the confit du canard (as I *always* do, despite the other very tempting entrees). Both were exceptionally well prepared, and the service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. But, speaking of service, the only negative to our meal was not being offered any bread! Go figure. We suspect that it was because we had cocktails but no appetizer, and perhaps skipping that threw the staff a curve. If not for that, I would have rated service 5 rather than 3 stars (and the overall 5 vs. 4). This is a great local spot, and we look forward to returning. ATBster
