Not a warm and inviting French Bistro as advertised. Looks nothing like the image on the post card handed out with the check. Cold and uninviting atmosphere. Sorry but not worth the effort to go there IMO.

Absolutely delicious! Coq au vin was to die for, and the salmon beurre blanc was lovely. We will be back with friends!

We went for unlimited tapas and all tapas we ordered were delicious. Service and place is like a cafe, but place is named a cafe, so it is expected.

They allowed us to split the prix fixe so was able to try a variety of meals. Escargot, salmon + chicken, crème brulee. Good portions and coffee to finish. Great vibes and people watching from the window

The food was mediocre, the service was ok, even though we got our “first” dish half an hour after finished the second one. We really wanted to like this place but alas it wasn’t meant to be.

Pesto salad and Salmon Roti were delicious — excellently prepared. Extensive wine list. My dinner companion loved her onion soup and boeuf bourguignon. The attention to decorative detail gives the dining area an old world feel that is enhanced by the lovely wall of mirrors.
