Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "Inside was very cozy, with a DJ that was spinning a lot of mellow gems and there was a small group of people enjoying themselves and having a good time."
  • "The interior is cozy, inviting, and informal, reminiscent of a non-touristy corner bistro de quartier somewhere in Paris, off the beaten path."
  • "With the outdoor seating, it becomes a true Bohemian sanctuary for the intellects, artists, children, adults, Film stars, yet, maintains its dignity without selling its soul with cheap gimmicks."
  • "The outdoor seating is charming and well-protected, as the whole street is closed to traffic. Twinkling lights, Fermob chairs, experienced/knowledgeable/engaging wait staff all make this place a gem."
  • "Inviting atmosphere. Plus they have live music on Sundays for brunch after 12:30 add an extra layer of charm!"
  • "A beautifully intimate atmosphere, it's the perfect spot for a little French escape without leaving the city."
  • "The place was so cute! Great mood lighting, precautions for covid."

Cons:

  • "Cool setting, nice vibe, was super excited, but then very disappointed."
  • "Outdoor seating had an overall casual and maybe a little dingy feel."
  • "The environment made a dirty impression. Renovation seems highly recommended."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The Bloody Mary had a piquant spiciness and the Earl Grey Martini was perfectly tart."
  • "The mushroom risotto and the salmon with lentils. Both dishes were perfect."
  • "The Bohemian Burger was great. Bread was toasted to the right amount. Meat was just the right size and (fat/beef) ratio."
  • "These waffles were insanely good. They were crispy on the outside & had a really sweet vanilla bean flavor."
  • "I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was delicious and very filling."
  • "The coq au vin is sublime, the escargot is decadently creamy."

  • "I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they accept credit cards now for a fee!"

Cons:

  • "Note that this restaurant only takes CASH."
  • "They would charge 3% for credit cards yet when we pay by cash they didn't have change and had to wait."
  • "So, $60 was spent for two plates of french fries."
  • "A business that does CASH only screams 'I don't care about you'."

  • "It's Cash Only, they do have a ATM, surcharge is $2.50."
  • "We had a reservation for New Years eve two weeks before the date. The same date we just by coincidence we noticed that they decided to close on new years eve and not even tell anyone that already has a reservation that they change their plans."
