For this visit, I rated it a 4 rather than a 5 because the escargot, while delicious, were short—out of a dozen, four had inaccessible fillings.

It took several minutes (10-15) before our waitress visited our table. She was doing a great job - I think she had too many tables and was struggling to keep up. Drinks and apps were brought up pretty quickly but then it was at least a 45 minute wait before our meals were served. My daughter’s steak was under seasoned and very fatty and we had to ask for a steak knife since they didn’t bring one ahead of time or with the steak. My risotto with scallops was very good!! I don’t understand charging $4 for a serving of bread and butter for the table. Seems excessive. Overall, we would not feel the need to go back.

The food is consistently good with French favorites you can't find anywhere else in the area, such as bone marrow, escargot, and crepes. I am particularly fond of the trout almondine, and even though roast chicken sounds boring, it certainly is not. We appreciate that we never feel rushed. This is not a place that is counting the minutes until they can flip the table and doesn't look askance at customers who want to savor their cocktails before ordering appetizers.
