“ The chicken and fries were phenomenal, and the desserts were also great. Highly recommended! ”

“ The food here was AMAZING but the atmosphere seemed a bit stale and the restaurant could be updated. The lighting was bright and there were no clientele under the age of 50 without parental guidance. Definitely a great spot for a wonderful meal but pass if you're looking for a chic, new, buzz worthy feel. ”

“ We would visit this restaurant whenever we toured to Paris. A classic restaurant serving authentic French dishes. I thought Père Claude has retired and now it’s his son Fils in charge, who will do the cooking in the ‘transparent kitchen’. We must order their signature dishes: the andouillette and grilled bone marrow. The smashed potato is excellent! Causal dining in relax ambience without much fuss of those fine luxurious restaurants and at reasonable price. ”

“ We absolutely loved our meal here!!! Service was fantastic! Our waiter was funny and not rude like some of the other waiters we had during our trip. We started with the melon and ham. It was very good! I feel like either you like this dish or you don't. For dinner, we had frog legs and the steak with bone marrow. Both were delicious, but the bone marrow here was one of the best we have had! We will make another trip back just to eat the bone marrow again! We finished with a lovely crème brûlée. ”

“ If you want a taste of good traditional French food, this is the place! The meat was perfectly tender and salted. The ambiance is homey and traditional and the service was friendly and took the time to explain the menu to us. ”

“ A quietly confident meal—classic, honest, and executed with care. The chicken with lobster sauce was the standout: tender, properly seasoned poultry wrapped in a rich, velvety lobster sauce that tasted earned, not excessive. No theatrics—just depth, balance, and restraint. Comfort food wearing a tailored jacket. The scallops with garlic and basil were clean and precise. Perfectly seared, sweet at the core, lifted by fragrant garlic and fresh basil that enhanced rather than shouted. Simple ingredients, sharp technique—nothing wasted, nothing missing. Overall: traditional done right. No gimmicks, no shortcuts. The kind of meal that reminds you why classics endure. ”
