Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was absolutely delicious!!"
"Delicious avocado toast with smoked salmon, 10/10 and the bottomless mimosa deal is amazing during brunch."
"It’s truly the traditional French Brasserie you need on your local go-to list for TROUT AUX AMANDES."
"The pastries were still-warm-fresh."
"The food was sooo good we had 4 appetizers, mussels, grilled octopus, escargot & steak tartare all out of this world."
"The duck was the best duck I’ve ever had, be it in France, or America…"
"The Mussels we ordered were fresh and it's broth was the best I have ever tasted."
Cons:
"But the food is so mediocre, nothing stood out, the flat bread pizza style food seemed like it was frozen and re-heated."
"The food was okay and pricey for some dishes having small portions."
"Food presentation and quality is subpar at best."
"The food is fine. Based on what I read, I thought it would be very good authentic French food - but it was, just fine."
"The burger was mediocre, the French onion soup was mediocre, the salads were mediocre."
"The food is a 6/10 and I ordered the best stuff - it’s cool the kid menu has salmon as an entree I’ve never seen that and that was very good and the fries."
"Food was very disappointing for the price."

"The service was excellent."
Cons:
"Took 15 minutes for the bartender to come say hello, they were not that busy."
"Service was extremely slow."
"The service was reallly slow- we had a 8:45 reservation because that was the only one available (the place closes at 11pm).. most of the tables were empty by the time we were eating our 1st course.. but the waitress who was busy chatting and serving other bigger tables, wasn't just alert and super slow at checking on us."
"The service was terrible!! We waited forever for water glasses to be refilled and our drinks and meals."
"Saturday 630 you will be waiting at your table with no service most likely for 20-30 min, no one checked up on us."
"The bartender ignored us for good 15 - 20 minutes."
"The service was really bad."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"The place itself is beautiful and the service was lovely."
"Great atmosphere, outside seating is nice with plenty of space to drink and have a cigar."
"Always a fun time and relaxing spot to go to."
"Great ambiance with high ceilings, lots of seating options, both outdoor and indoor, and a great bar."
"This place had a great vibe on a Thursday night."
"A very pleasant atmosphere, very spacious and safe."
"Beautiful restaurant and wonderful staff."
Cons:
"There was some sort of a liquor tasting that night and it was extremely noisy."
"The atmosphere is so so, some French decor and a giant tv over the bar playing sports."
"Lost a star due to location in a strip mall with open air, somewhat spartan seating and decor."
"The experience was much lower than my expectations, I was actually excited that this place had just opened since it was just a few minutes away from my house. Will I be returning? Probably not."
"Seating was ok, they gave us a table even if we did not have reservation. However, we are totally NOT impressed by the food experience."
"For the price it needs to be a bit better."
"Very overpriced and mediocre place. We had Salmon, duck and other entrees as well as wine and cocktail. The price cannot be justified, especially the salmon dish."
Value
Pros:
"By the way the prices, especially for food and drink of this caliber are very reasonable."
"Half price champagne was a great value."
"Happy hour prices are great, wine on the wine list is obviously better."
"Fantastic french cuisine. Everything was tasty and affordable."
"Menu choices were reasonable with competitive pricing."
"The nicoise and croque monsieur were perfect for a light bite."
"Delicious food in a open and warm brasserie vibe."
