Good French Bistro

by lamalo

We came for lunch on a Friday.

The restaurant was almost empty.

The owner, Chef Philippe was also the server and recommended the Mussels and for soup: the Onion soup.

The onion soup was an authentic French onion soup with a soaked slice of baguette, covered with two types of melted cheese and herbs.

The mussels were indeed a delicacy, served in a very tasty sauce with fresh warm baguette on the side.

We also had a Lobster Crepe, which was good, but we thought could be better with some lemon and garlic added to the sauce.

We paid $30 for 2 soups, Lobster crepe and Mussels.

• Pros: Service, Food
• Cons: , South city location

True Bistro; not overly flashy

by LMBittick

Great place for great French cuisine; many dishes have a Moroccan influence. The restaraunt and cuisine is not overly flashy or in your face, but the quality of the food and service is what makes a statement. Recommended: Moroccan tajin of lamb and vegetables, the petit filet, and the mussels. Quiet atmosphere; excellent date place. Worth a visit. Don't look out the window and you can pretend you are in France. . .

• Pros: Intimate, Charming, Great Service
• Cons: Parking on-street
