Fruits de mer for two was fantastic. Shrimp , crab , lobster , raw oysters and raw clams . Then we split the rabbit , and the sauce was so good, we started dunking bread in it.

The French onion soup "app" with croutons and gruyere cheese is to die for. In the winter, do the patio and you just might get it all to yourself like we did.

Lindsey Rix

Get the house mojito . We've loved the mussells , the burger , steak roquefurt, and the beef short ribs . They can do meat to fish all wonderful and in classic French style .

Emily Ellis

Fruits de mer for two and the rabbit entrée were so incredible. You will want to swim in the rabbit sauce.

I ordered the salmon which was great, except for the fact that they used too much salt. Someone else ordered the pork chops and it was delicious! Definitely ordering that next time

Steve Swift

The mussels are outstanding. They have 6 different ways of serving them. The vegetable cream mussels are my favorite.

Bartenders chatting behind the bar not paying any attention to us. Had to ask a waiter to get the tab.Brought tab over then left w/o taking card. Could have walked out-would have been unnoticed.
