Legit French bistro ! Authentic French food , great chef , service, and overall atmosphere. Boeuf bourguignon highly recommended there!

Heather PG

Upstairs With the Xmas lights inside and out it feels like you are in a fancy tree house. AJ created a wonderful fig and truffle appetizer , bijou and tomato toast , delicious! Candles are anti theft.

Vanessa Borges

Delicious filet with salad verte. Grilled beef tenderloin with port demi glace, served with maple balsamic mixed greens and lemonade house. 🍽

William Nelligan

French onion soup . Get whatever else you want: the grouper reuben , the homemade falafel , whatever. Just make sure you have a cup of the French onion soup .

Emily

Must get duck confit poutine . Great selection of cheeses (especially if you like goat cheese ). $1 oysters during HH.

Jake Smith

Get a reservation for dinner . I think the steak frites is a perfect meal: steak and french fries , what more could you ask for?

Richard Revilla

Very good prices after 9pm for dinner . Most entrees are $20 with discounted wine .

Michael P

Jennifer Bethel

This is the best place in town ! Food, staff , atmosphere, people watching , wine all amazing Jesse the host, Bill the Bartender , Glen the Waiter !!

Jean-Marc Demers

Sweet potato fries to die for, love that duck taco salad , decent beer on tap , fun to watch the dogs and their owners from the terrasse on Church Street, this is all worth the day trip from Montréal!

Christopher Sikora

The best escargot in New England, hands down. Make sure to call days ahead when UVM is in session (Sept - May) because this restaurant frequents parents and visitors from all over.

Joanne Karunakaran

The Glühwein, or Glög - nice sweet and spiced wine will warm you to the core - just like at the German Weinachtsmärkte!

Louise Runnells-Leu

For a nice treat for yourself or a nice meal for two, this is the place to go. Sometimes the staff is a lil snobby at the front though...

Marco Ayala

Appetizers? The poutine with duck is really good and they pair well with the beef and shrimp skewers

Cassio DaCunha

Get the bistro dinner from 2-5, Tuesday to Saturday. Soup or salad , and an entree for $22. Great deal!

Sarah

Great French food and wine selection . Truffle fries are awesome and salads are huge.

Sam Saad

This is as good as it looks. Its the strip with a twice baked potatoes .

Jennifer Benson

Go for brunch or their bistro dinner before 5:45. Never disappoints!

Kelly M

Oh my word, the duck confit poutine . Enough said, order it!!

Melissa Miller

Ah Mazing! I highly recommend the salmon ! Cheese plates are also great!

Matthew Breuer

lol never has a waitstaff given me a harder time about order shared plates & a few rounds of cocktails while providing no service - we hate it!

Trevor Christian

Bistro $15 Dinner also runs Sunday through Thursday from 9-10pm for the night owls. Generous portions and attentive service , the Cavatappi Carbonara is phenomenal!

Jeffrey Limes

Try the rich and delicious pasta with grilled chicken .

J. C.

Cocktails are the best, but I personally don't like the French...

Heather PG

Dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives ... The coconut curry mussels ... Foie gras , all my favorites!

John McKay

Upscale casual with awesome food & service!

Cortney

Buck a shuck has changed.... M-W 3-5:30 no exceptions even when they seated you at 5:20 and you didn't see a server till after the promo ended. Ugh.....

Jeffrey White

Great food and service

Johnny Baryah

Overpriced menu. Filet Mignon came overcooked with 100 other things on the plate, it looked like a landfill. Mediocre Burger for $32, bland and cooked inconsistently…

Margie Schingle

Great food on a very cold night.
