"Wonderful place.. My wife and I went for dinner and had a great experience. Pierre (the owner) spoke perfect English and was very accommodating. We had the dinner plate special, some escargot and let Pierre choose a wine for us. It was right on the mark. I would suggest to anyone in the area to stop by."

"Absolutely incredible French food from a chef that took very good care of us! There’s a very small menu which is very reasonably priced and made exceptionally well. There’s chef cooks directly in front of you and was very happy to explain the food to guests with very limited French speaking ability! The wine pairings were perfect and we ended up taking a crate home. Avoid the tourists traps in the area and come here!"
Katie Young
"Loved this local bistro. Came here for lunch and ordered their 3 course set menu. Very reasonably priced. Had two choices to select from for appetizers: pomme de terre or the mackerel salad. Went with the latter, no regret. And only one option for the plat: the spare ribs, it was delicious! A hearty meal that I thoroughly enjoyed."
