    We dined at this charming French restaurant and had a pleasant experience overall. The food was good, though not quite a 10/10. We loved the persimmons salad and the steak as meal—both were highlights of the meal. The fish, however, wasn’t our favorite as it leaned a bit too fishy for our taste. Service was attentive and friendly, and the outdoor seating was cute and inviting. A lovely spot for a relaxed evening!

    This is a great little neighborhood gem. French food but with a California twist. Not overly heavy with sauces or hard to approach, just excellent food in a great little spot in North Park East. The service was also excellent, with a number of attentive and friendly staff. We loved the onion tart, homemade past, and steak dishes, but honestly all of the menu items were outstanding. If I had to skip one I would say the chicken, which had kind of a greasy and hard to eat pork casing it (although the mustard salad and sauce were awesome). Great overall dining experience and kudos to these guys for creating a unique but approachable menu in the French style.

    Wow the food here is absolutely delicious . We started with the oysters and the Wagyu tartare, both were incredible and I had the black cod and my husband had the pasta for dinner and it was amazing. Service from Erick was with a smile and very friendly atmosphere. It’s a bit small, with only one bathroom and was busy on a Saturday night, but we’ll definitely be back!

    The servers were personable and efficient. We had the celebration meal and each course was delicious and beautifully presented. There was only one hiccup in the evening which was rectified. Looking forward to going back in warmer weather and sitting in their beautiful patio

    Exceptional food and service. The garden patio is a delightful space and our server, and all support staff, were so warm, knowledgeable and professional. This was a first visit, but certainly not the last!!
