It was Christmas Eve and a prefixed menu. The food was excellent, but slow coming. They were very short of staff. Will try again on a non holiday.

Fabulous authentic French home-cooking, served in a beautifully designed room that is casually elegant. Gave 4 stars for service only because there was a wait for the main courses—but the restaurant was packed and the end result was well worth the minor inconvenience. I lived in France for a year in my younger days; the French Rotisserie Cafe is the real deal. Can’t wait to go back!

The French Onion soup was divine, the simple French green salad with fennel and parsley delicious. The main seafood vol au vont was addictive. We will be back. Merci!!

We had a lovely dinner here. The service was warm and efficient, the cocktails were excellent (and huge!) We each had the roast chicken which was fantastic - appreciated the ability to customize our salad, sides, etc. dessert was awesome too! Don’t miss this hard to find gem (tucked away in a strip mall next to Handel’s.)

This restaurant is one of my new favorites! I loved it there. The chicken vol-au-vent was to die for. Service was quick and efficient. Heather was fabulous, kind and fun loving. She deserves a raise! I have already recommended to friends!
