we were outside, and the street traffic is fairly busy and noisy, but the food was very good. The service was very good - nice people and efficient.

A cozy, nicely decorated place with lots of plants and polite enough servers. Food was 'good' (not spectacular), and portions were small, which is common in French cuisine, but not for the prices there. They would not make a reservation via phone- they insisted upon using Open Table. Open Table's policy of requiring a credit card to make a reservation was inordinate, annoying and a little concerning. After the reservation was confirmed, Cafe Sauvage phoned me to ask if I could change my reservation from 9pm to 8:30 pm - I couldn't, and that seemed to annoy them. Service was generally fine, including kind assistance with their wifi password from the bartender (but only when asked), but they didn't come to check if everything was okay once the meal was served. Upon receiving he cheque, there was an additional charge for something they called a "kitchen fee" - WTF is THAT! Overall it was okay, but I'll not bother going back there with so many better options in the city.
