Delicious food! One of the best Boeuf bourgignone and crème brûlée that I've ever had. Ever. Warm ambiance! Friendly owner! Too bad they're closing their...
Recommended for a good quality restaurant experience at a reasonable cost. Location: the dining room is nicely decorated and warm. Friendly service. Price: the price-quality ratio is reasonable, we spent $140 in two people ordering 2 appetizers, 2 entrée, and 2 desserts. Food: We loved the beef bourguignon and the onion soup. The frog legs were chewy, the duck was served with too much sauce that made the overall flavor off balance and overly sweet. Thumbs up to the desserts (profiterole and crème brulée).
Moules were excellent, I can’t get enough of the broth. The quiche lorraine was so light and fluffy but tended to be dull after a few bites. It could have been complemented with the tanginess of the salad but it fell short of any dressing and was wilted, you can see from the photo. I was also charged for the hot water I asked for. They put tea in the tab but I only asked for hot water to calm my throat. The staff was nice but I believe I could have a better experience.
