    The ambiance is good. The restaurant is tight lots of tables. The steak is a cheap cut of meat. The fresh fries are delicious. They give you a second portion once you’re done. However it’s a surprise, not sure why? Our server was Holly she was great. The menu consist of 3 things, salad, steak and fries. The end

    Nice ambiance and value if you have a craving for red meat and fries. Cut of steak is similar to sirloin, flavorless

    I chose to try this restaurant because its concept reminded me of a restaurant I'd had lunch in over 40 years ago in Paris. The menu was simple and straightforward, just like the restaurant I'd remembered. I took a risk and booked it for Valentine's Day - waited so long I had to take a 6:15 pm sitting. Both my partner and I loved it! We were seated immediately, and even though the restaurant was packed, we didn't feel crowded or intruded upon. The service was fast and the server was cordial and attentive. Rustic bread with amazing butter: delicious Salad prepared the French way with dressing already judiciously added: delicious Steak/frites that were impeccably cooked and hot off the grill/fryer: DELICIOUS! We were surprised to find out we got a second helping of the steak/frites! This made so much sense because why get a huge serving when half of it will be cold by the time we eat it? Instead, both servings were hot and delicious. We opted for sauce on the side, which suited our preference for adding it according to our individual tastes. Although the desserts looked very enticing, we passed this time. But maybe next time I'll take something home! All in all, this was a wonderful experience. As my partner said, "10 out of 10." Thank you!
