    Was very excited about this restaurant, having been to the OG steak fritte restaurant in Paris. This however was a disappointment. Very small portion for the steak for a place that’s all about this main dish. For this concept even for brunch they should include multiple helpings. Not worth it for the cost. If you are going to have a limited menu, make that one item the star. We won’t be returning unfortunately.

    The first thing I noticed when entering the restaurant was that the music was extremely loud - much too loud - and I asked the host if it could be lowered a little (though I really wanted it to be lowered a lot). I don't think it was adjusted; if it was, it was still too loud. Our server was excellent, very attentive and pleasant. Other servers who came to the table to refill our water were equally professional and pleasant. I especially appreciate water refills, this is not always done even when requested. The bread and fries were very good and the salad was excellent; it's really nice to have a salad with fresh tender lettuce and a good dressing (i.e. not balsamic or other sweet dressing; also it was not overdressed). The steak was cooked exactly as ordered (medium rare) but the portion was small. Our server explained that a second portion would be automatically served to keep the meat at the correct temperature. Sure enough, a second portion of steak and fries were delivered to the table just as I had finished my first serving. The wine was fresh and the amount served in each glass was good.

    Very small portion of steak frites for brunch. Not worth it for 36.00. Steak was really chewy.

    Food was fantastic - you need to get the steak frites or steak and eggs (if brunching). The sauce on the steak is to die for. The servers were incredibly friendly. Def try brunch drinks (only 25 cents per drink!!!)

    Fun concept similar to the one we experienced in Paris in an open setting with friendly staff. The food was delicious! We will be back!

    Food and drinks were great. I don’t know why there’s bad reviews. Definitely worth the price.

    The food and service are exceptional. There is no decision fatigue looking at their menu. Steak is tender and fries are crisp, excellent fresh salad.  Our only concern was that it was very noisy and you are crammed into your table table.  Yes we will come here again You must use the restroom for a bit of a surprise.
