Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris.

Amazing food seating limited and loud restaurant; however, that can also shown to look to the quality of service and the deliciousness of the food served. Overall customer service was amazing and food was amazing. Not a big restaurant though.
