    I’m just here to comment about three things. 1. Hands down the best French Onion Soup in San Diego, it’s literally perfect! The crisped pâte feuilletée with Comté draped & crisped over the bol à tête de lion is heaven (the French even make the classic bowl French onion soup comes in sound like you want to eat that too 😉). 2. THE Best under-the-radar burger in San Diego! The Burger Parisienne is a symphony of flavors with a proprietary blend of freshly ground beef, caramelized onions, American Cheese (THE only cheese any self respecting burger should ever have), & the coup de grâce is their bordelaise, not only is it in this unique burger presentation, but clearly the chef knows how to make it the old school way. The demi-glace with bone marrow does not go unnoticed. My guess as to one of the other reasons the French onion soup is so good is because of the demi-glace 3. The lady who served us, I didn’t get her name, was an absolute delight!

    Always a good review! Love how quaint this place is. We had a reservation for the restaurant, but sat in the bar anyway. The patio dining is cozy and charming, but we were afraid it might rain. The happy hour lounge menu was a pretty good deal!
