Once Upon A Time In France

Had the best evening here! The environment was welcoming and cozy. We definitely recommend requesting the Chef Experience when you make your reservation. 5 courses with wines pairings, a great way to try so many things! Everything we had was delicious.

If you have not been to Once Upon A Time in France -you must go! Excellent food, great atmosphere, excellent staff! The food and drinks were amazing! 10 out of 10 . If you are in Nashville or visiting- I highly recommend! The Bocuf Bourguignon and Crème Brûlée were so delicious! I can’t wait to go back next time I am in Nashville!

We had my sister in town who loves French cuisine. We wanted to try this place for her. We are sure clad we did!! The vieux carres were tres bien!! The escargot and the scallop appetizers were delicious. The lobster bisque was very unique having crème fresco add to the top the French onion soup was one of the best we have had. On to the plat; boeuf bourguignon was phenomenal and the grouper was extremely well seasoned. All the sides were wonderful. We concluded with the Cafe Gourmand. The espresso was enlivening and the mousse and macaron were super tasty. This place was a very authentic and exceptional dining experience. Andy was a perfect host and waiter making superb recommendations!! We’re so glad we took the opportunity to get out of or typical dinner fare and visit. We enjoyed it greatly!!!

Excellent French restaurant in Nash! Visited multiple times, and all dishes were nicely done! Perfect for celebration/date. Excellent service too!

What an amazing experience! It transports you right to France. Andy (I believe) was our server. It was my last night visiting Nashville but I'm back often and this made me want to come back sooner.

I honestly don’t want to make this review because I don’t want this place to be overcrowded every time I take a visit, this restaurant is a hidden gem in Nashville serving real authentic French cuisine with the finest ingredients, with what I paid for of a total of $321 for 3 people and the experience you get is unbelievable

We had a lovely anniversary celebration here! We had heard the onion soup was a must, so we started with that; it did not disappoint, so incredibly good! Turned out, this was the last week onion soup was on the menu for this season so we got lucky! I had the beef bourguignon which was so flavorful and fabulous. My husband had the duck which he thoroughly enjoyed; so tender! The classic creme brulee finished our meal. A small restaurant with a quaint feel, relaxed but classy serving a small, but delicious menu. We will be back!

Every combination of what you want in a great restaurant hit spot on. Ambience, the service…and best yet, was the food. Every dish had so much care in it. Plating to the seasonings and flavor.

Steak and frites! Phenomenal. This place has great ambiance and servers. The price was just right as well.

We finally made it! We tried same time two years ago and couldn't get a seat coz it's Valentine's week and they weren't accepting reservations. Thank goodness they're finally on Open Table coz it's very much needed as tables/seats are limited. Vibe is very cozy and art deco. It's perfect for date night AND you won't break bank because food prices are reasonable and the serving sizes are perfect. We were so full we had to skip dessert otherwise they'll have to wheel us out of there. Parking is limited but there's street parking. Servers are attentive.

Very French and delicious. We felt very well taken care of throughout the meal. We tried the prix fix dinner so that we could try everything. Escargot was excellent, salami nothing special, burgundy beef very good, canard was soooo gooood. I would go back for that, the cook was perfect on the duck and the sauce to die for. By the time we got to desert, service took a big turn to slow. Not sure why, everything else was quite timely. The meal was an hour and 15, desert felt like another hour. Parking tricky but available. We will be back, overall we liked it, a lot.

Celebrated my daughter's birthday with dinner here. The food and service were impeccable! My daughter had the duck, her boyfriend had the beef bourguignon, and my husband and I had steak fried with Demi glace. My steak was delicious and so tender! I highly recommend this authentic French bistro. Très magnifique!

My sweet boyfriend planned a date night at Once Upon A Time in France. We were so excited to try this restaurant, especially as I had just gotten back from Paris and he probably hasn't heard the end of how much I love it. Unfortunately, I did not feel transported back to France after this meal. I will day, when you first walk into the restaurant it is adorable- I love the decoration and color scheme. We ordered the escargot, steak and frites, and duck confit. The escargot was alright and came out right away. We then waited for approx. 40 minutes to receive our entrees. Both entrees were stone cold. Unfortunately the table next to us sent their food back 2 minutes before we got ours for the same reason. We sucked it up- a regret now looking back. The steak and frites was request to be medium rare and it came out blue. The duck confits flavors were there but it was so cold we couldn't eat it. I am extremely disappointed.

As you walk in you feel as if you have been transported into a small city in France. You hear rhe murmur of conversations throughout the cozy restaurant. There are nostalgic decor adorn everywhere and you instantly feel the mood shift and the prelude to the dinner experience to come. I was greeted and taken to the bar as I was a party of 1. I read the menu for what the ideal wine for the night would be and decided on the Bordeaux wine. The starter choice was the infamous escargot and the main attraction would be the steak fritters. The wine was a 10/10 bold and tasty and was a great way to set the palette for the steak to come. The escargot sauce was delicious the escargot itself was a little bland for my tastebuds and a bit overcooked but the sauce made up for it. Now on the the main dish. Perfection. The steak was so tender and the flavors were everything and more that I could expect. The portion size was generous so you'll get to enjoy taking it home. The bar seating is perfect if you're going solo as you get a view at all the beautiful drinks being made and can meet some great strangers and have great dinner conversations. If your in a mood to get transported to Paris for the night this is the best place to do so.

AMAZING food and service Have on it Michelin level French restaurants several times before that cost 5X over this amazing restaurant and they really can't hold a candle too the experience I had here.

My wife and I decided to have a little mid week date night and chose this restaurant. The food was wonderful! The atmosphere was cozy and romantic. The service and food was second to none! We will be going back. The French onion soup had an egg yoke cracked in it that provided a uniquely smooth texture and flavor. I will be dreaming about that soup until I go back!

Entering the restaurant, you are received with a warm French-style looking ambiance. The low ceilings are decided with a nice shade of rustic brown that match the tables and general aesthetic nicely. The wait staff speaks French and addresses you in French terms such as monsieur and madame. Service was given to us with a genuine smile. The only thing I'd like more from the waitstaff was to get check in on more often or at least have the waitstaff more visible for them to see us raise our hand when we needed something. I ordered a medium rare steak. It was not evenly cooked. Some parts were more blue than medium rare. It also lacked seasoning, but I added salt and it tasted good after that. The same thing can be said for the fries. The steak plate came with unsalted fries and I ordered duck fat potatoes as an additional side. Everything lacked seasoning and tasted bland without adding salt. For my first time experience, I enjoyed everything but I wish the food was better.

To start off, the place is absolutely adorable. I love the theme and how everything is decorated (even the bathrooms) it's exquisite. I booked this spot as a date night for my husband and I and we truly did it know what to expect. Being 6 months pregnant I will say the seating is a little tight but we did not mind. As an appetizer my husband got the lobster bisque and it was served it quite a unique way. The server did tell us beforehand it wouldn't come out "hot" and more of a room temperature but honestly being room temp for us it lacked something. For our entrees we got the duck confit and the slow cooked beef and both were pretty delicious. I've had duck at a few places before (and love it) while the portion and flavor was there, maybe it was my piece but I did feel like it was quite a fatty one. For my husband's, while I tried it and it was good, because it had so much flavor I don't think I would have been able to eat it as a meal. We ended up skipping out on dessert as there were not too many options. Overall it was a pretty decent meal, I would probably go back another time to try something else on the menu (and probably when I'm not pregnant so I can pair it with some of the wines they had).

A tiny little piece of France in this intimate building. If you are looking for a date spot, this place should be high on the list! Lots of couples enjoying the romantic ambiance. They had some great wines and a lovely list of cocktails. My drink of choice was the champagne French martini. Absolutely lovely! The food and drink menu is limited though, so if you unsure about preferences either send out in advance or maybe circle back once you know a bit more. It was packed so a reservation is highly recommended. The bar is quite small too so relying on being able to belly up there is risky. I know this is probably going to get me judged, but the highlight for me was the real foie gras. I haven't had any in over a decade. It was so good. I also had the French onion soup. Definitely, a fun little niche spot that will not be for everyone, but is unique and special is French cuisine is what you are into.

Great experience here and atmosphere! The food was delicious and this is great for a date night or girls night. I ordered the steak and frites and was so happy I did. I want to come back!

Unbelievable Restaurant. I see why it was voted restaurant of the year in 2022. We have been wanting to go to this place for a while but they have strange hours and are not open every day. I've also heard they get very busy because of the hype that surrounds the restaurant. We walked in on a Tuesday night with no wait. We were very happy to see it not so busy. The decorations of the place are very unique, you walk in and don't feel like you are in Nashville anymore. Very good date night spot. They dress to impress. Food blew us away, we couldn't believe the food we got for the price. Very reasonably priced, not a lot of places you can get a steak ribeye for 29 bucks. I would recommend getting the sauces with your steak because it enhances the experience. You won't regret picking this spot for any occasion.

An authentic French restaurant by a French couple in Nashville that is endorsed by my Belgium friend. The owner greets us when we come in. Our waitress Emily is super nice and food is great. We had Foie Gras de Canard, Confit de Canard, Cassoulet du Sud-Ouest. The ambiance is cozy. The only thing makes me hold one star back is the building's roof needs some maintenance for its leaking issue.

We visited OUATIF to celebrate our anniversary. We were looking for someplace a little different than our normal dining experience, and we were excited to visit a new-to-us establishment. Upon arrival we were taken to a table in the back of the restaurant in what appeared to once have been a porch. Apparently the room had settled and the floor sloped downward. On top of that the floor was a bit slick. Our waitress was worried about that and over the course of our visit she came and wiped up the floor about three different times while we were dining. As for our meal, we had the scallop appetizer, beef bourguignon entrees with a side of duck fat roasted potatoes, bread and butter, and for dessert the crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. While all of the food was flavorful, we were surprised that neither the appetizer or potatoes were served hot, but both were room temperature, and the bread was served with hard pats of butter which were nearly impossible to spread. Our beef bourguignon was hot, though, and we enjoyed the tender beef, rich sauce, and vegetables. I would say this was the best part of the meal. The desserts were also good, with my husband preferring the crème brûlée and myself enjoying the rich chocolate mousse. Our meal came to approximately $100 (no alcohol). We were glad we had the opportunity to visit OUATIF, but I doubt it will be a place we will visit often. Our experience, while overall fine, was not quite what we were expecting. The back porch dining area was not the ambiance I was expecting from a fine dining restaurant, nor the temperature of some of our items. Overall, though, we were glad to have the opportunity to visit and enjoy a French meal.

A really lovely place to eat as a single because it's small and inviting for everyone. The atmosphere is so French. Don't let the outside of the building keep you from adventuring inside. It's adorable on the inside even if the outside looks like it might collapse. lol The food, service and wine are all very good but small portions which is not uncommon for French restaurants in my experience. I give it 4 stars because on the menu it says that if you share a entree there is a $12.00 up charge which I don't like at all or understand. They also don't take reservations so get there early. I definitely recommend you trying this place when you are in town.

This might be my new favorite restaurant in Nashville. Family that runs it is so nice and the food was INCREDIBLE. The type of restaurant that you could eat at every night or get fancy for a date night.

I loveeee this place! It is so cute and so French. Everything we ordered was amazing. I was heartbroken when they told me they were out of the French onion soup. But those steak frites and lamb were INCREDIBLE. They were very busy so service was bit slow but everyone was so nice and friendly. I can't wait to go back!

Our evening was outstanding! The ambience is so cute. Our server was so helpful and kind. She helped us navigate the menu well. We loved our appetizers (the goat cheese made in house was phenomenal). We loved our entrees. The steak frites with the peppercorn sauce was the best steak of my life. Dessert was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Excellent service and ambiance while our entrees were amazing. We had the duck and the trout. Best of all, the value was incredible. Definitely going back before they raise prices and ruin it.

First - they don't take reservations, so I suggest you arrive as early as possible. We got there around 5 PM and had no problem getting a table for 2. When we were leaving, they were full. On to the food- everything was superb. We started with the escargot and the tartare. Both were the best version of those dishes I've ever had. Anywhere. Hands down. The escargot were good sized and the accoutrement with the tartare perfectly complimented the meat. We shared a bottle of red wine that was served at the prefect temperature and was really reasonably priced. We ordered the steak frites and beef bourguignon. The steak was huge and cooked to temperature as ordered. The beef was so tender and in a delicious sauce.

Man, this was super disappointing. With as many good reviews as they have, I expected a lot more from this restaurant. The food here was just bland, and portions are way off. We started with their Rosette de Lyon. This is cured salami, bread, and mini pickles. The salami was good, but that gives no credence to the restaurant as this is packaged and just served by the restaurant. They give like 6-7 pieces of this along with 2 small pieces of bread. Not enough bread for the dish. We then got their steak tartare. Presentation is awesome, flavor is terrible and bland. Huge amount of tartare and served with 2 small pieces of bread. Again, not enough bread. Furthermore, here the bread was burnt really badly, greatly affecting the flavor of the tartare itself. After, we had there Terrine de Canard et ses cornichons. This is a chicken and duck pate which, while decent in taste, was served with 2 incredible small pieces of bread which was nowhere near enough. As you can see from the appetizers, the restaurant is quite stingy with their bread, leading to large portions of spread leftover on each dish. We decided to not get entrees due to the severely disappointing start. We did get their Fraisier dessert which is a strawberry shortcake. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. I could get just as good of a cake if not better at a grocery store. Overall this was a super disappointing experience that never got better. Staff are friendly, but that's about all this restaurant has going for them.

This sweet petite French restaurant tucked into East Nashville was a delight! So adorable inside, food was delicious, and the bottle of Bordeaux we selected was very good! Nice selection of modestly priced French entrees. The service is fantastic. We will be back!!

My husband and I love French cuisine and we could not miss the Nashville top rated restaurant of 2022! Be advised, no reservations are taken but we managed to walk right in to a beautiful table towards the back. (We showed up a little before 5pm and realize that it might be too early for some). We didn't want to chance not getting a table so we headed there early. The owner greeted us and escorted us to our table and we got to order pre dinner drinks. Both lovely! The food choices are great, a little of everything and for everyone. We had escargot, then steak and frites. I added the sauce on top of mine and it was spectacular! The fries could have been crunchy but they were tasty nonetheless. The steak cut was on the thinner side and a bit nervy for me but again, tasty. We added a couple of beautiful Bordeaux glasses and called it a night. Great experience and can see why the locals love it. All

Very quaint and relaxing environment. The tables are a little bit on top of each other, but I actually enjoyed that. The steak was slightly over cooked -- it seems to be the common theme for this place, which is surprising because I'm sure the steak frites is the most popular item. If you haven't had au pouivre before, it's a beautiful sauce but is strong with green peppercorn, so if you don't enjoy a pepper taste, possibly get it on the side instead of on top. The creme brûlée was amazing and so was the lobster bisque soup. I would wait 45 minutes just for those two things. The cheese appetizer had a few cheddars that were delicious, but I wouldn't get it again. There's some parking right next to the restaurant, but it's paid parking. Overall, really happy we finally got to try this place, I would not go if you're in a rush or on a tight schedule. Will absolutely come back.

Service was on point. Unfortunately the steak was rubber and the frites were also. Very low grade ribeye. I would come back but won't be in a rush. Disappointed as it had so much potential.

Super cute atmosphere. Great place for a date. The Crème Brûlée was extremely good but I wasn't amazed by the rest of the meal. The trout and steak was lackluster. The soup and escargot were good but not amazing. Service was extremely solid. Great place for drinks and appetizers but for a full meal maybe not.

I have had tremendous experiences here. Be aware, guests are not encouraged to take their phone off speaker here and I mentioned it to front of desk and nothing. PSA. It's rude to your other guests when people are having full conversations during dinner. Simple ask them to go out side or turn off the phone speaker. You lost $100 from me tonight.

Amazing quaint environment with great food. Feel like you stepped right in Paris. Duck was incredible

I knew this was going to be good but MY LORD! Not even joking this was the best combination of food and service experience I've ever had. The flavor profile of each thing we had was absolutely next level. Reasonably priced as well! Doesn't do well with big groups but an amazing place for dates and smaller gatherings. So so good. A new favorite in Nashville. Personal notes: Escargot 8/10 Bread 10/10 Trout 9/10 Beef Bougnian 9/10 Crème Brûlée 10/10

Food was just ok. The tartare was fabulous but my rib eye steak was mostly fat . Nothing to brag about . Service was great . Drinks ok but small

Once Upon A Time In France is so worth the hype, and its the perfect place to have a nice date and enjoy amazing food. The best time to come to beat the rush is on a week day, since they don't take reservations. The staff is amazing and offer amazing recommendations. The food is authentic and delicious. It's a great way to have fantastic French cuisine here in Nashville. I always get the escargot, and eat it with the bread, and the crème brûlée is my favorite. Pro-tip from the server: They sell out of the crème brûlée so if you know you're gonna get it, order it first to come out with dessert so you don't miss it.

Finally....I found some delicious French food in Nashville. This place runs rings around the last establishment I tried in Nashville - needless to say if I get the chance I will definitely come back to OUATIF - especially for the confit duck - delicious. I arrived at around 5pm on a midweek evening and was promptly greeted at the door and offered a seat at the bar, as I was dining alone. The waitress offered me water and the menu. I chose Coquille Saint-Jacques for appetizer, followed by Confit de Canard. The ambience of the quaint little restaurant is reminiscent of a little bistro in Paris, lovely Knick knacks and French inspired items are arranged throughout the restaurant with a personal touch here and there. The chef, Laurent (or Laurence - can't remember) stopped by and chatted to me about his travels and the dishes on the menu - was a lovely touch. The scallop appetizers was served on a scallop half shell filled with mushrooms bechamel sauce and finished with cheese and breadcrumbs under the grill - my only critique is not to put plastic wrap on the plate to stop the shell from moving, maybe a salt base would be better to hold it in place. The little salad that came with it was tangy and well dressed. I enjoyed this so much I asked the waitress for the Escargots de Bourgogne also. The snails were nice - perhaps not enough bread for the dish but exactly what you'd expect of snails. I also ordered a glass of red wine to go with my entree and the wine suggested to accompany the dish was delicious. I had #53 on the wine list!! Yummy... I must admit tue duck entree was exceptional. Fatty, salty and the meat just fell of the bone - I was in heaven. I would come back just to eat that again. Was ten thousand times better than the crappy duck I had at Chateau West. I ended my meal with the crème brulee!!! Sweet, satisfying and decadent. Overall I would drive the further distance to this French spot than go to a closer mediocre establishment. Bon appetit

My first visit to Once Upon A Time in France was so pleasant & enjoyable. My wife & I met up with two of our close friends who were just in France at the same time we were to recap our separate trips & share our stories. The ambience here is so nice & cozy & very similar to French cafes & restaurants we visited in Paris & Normandy. The service here was really good as well even though they were quite busy & space is limited. The food is as expected...delicious! The menu is small & I imagine that's one reason why everything is so good. Focusing on the few dishes offered & making them great. We had the green bean shrimp salad for a starter (cold & citrusy, quite good), I also had the vieux Carre cocktail which was sweet, stout, & aromatic. For my entree I went with the lamb shank, because if lamb shank is on a menu then I order it! & for dessert my wife & I shared the strawberry sponge cake. Not pictured is my wife's beef bourguignon which she liked but I finished:) We will be back because this is a great date spot & excellent French food.

Absolutely had an amazing meal Saturday evening with my brother and mother. He was in town visiting and wanted to take us out for a nice meal and boy, did he! Mom had the lobster bisque as a starter and we were blown away by how good it was. We had the duck, trout, and steak for our mains and they were all excellent. The service was unmatched. We tried all 3 dessert offerings and each was better than anything anywhere else. The building is small. You are sitting very close to your neighbors, but it is meant to be like a French bistro, so it was to be expected. The staff was so kind they even helped my mother out, as she has a hard time getting around these days. I will be back for sure!

This place is a hidden gem in Nashville. Its quaint small footprint transforms your experience into feeling like you are actually dining in France. Run by a French family, the staff is a knowledgeable, friendly, and authentic group who is passionate about sharing the art of French cuisine with the Nashville community. A small and well crafted menu highlights cuisine staples ---and everything is cooked with care. We didn't have one bad or even mediocre item all evening. We kicked off the dinner with escargot and beef tartare (both delicious), ordered the duck confit (mouthwatering) and steak frites (huge and cooked perfectly), and finished up with the crème brûlée (one of the next I have ever had). The restaurant does not take reservations- waitlist only. But there is a wine bar up few blocks away (Authentique) that is owned by a member of the family. You can put your name in and then head there OR go straight to the wine bar and they can call on your behalf to put you on the waitlist.

We came here last weekend for date night. There's not too much else to add to this review that others haven't already touched on. They have a small parking lot but there's plenty of street parking nearby. Just avoid parking in the lot next to the restaurant because it's a paid lot. We arrived shortly after 6:30 on a Friday night and it was already busy but we only waited around 30 mins before we were seated. It is a small restaurant so there's not too many seats. We ended up being seated at the bar, which isn't an issue and the bartender was very friendly, however I was seated at the end of the bar and there was no room for my legs so I was a little uncomfortable. We ordered the escargot, pate, duck confit and lamb shank. We felt the escargot was a little bland, but otherwise, the food was delicious. Also, despite the restaurant being busy, the food came out relatively quickly.

I love the ambiance. The wait staff speaks French and are very nice. I had never been to a French restaurant before and this was a great experience. The food was good but the menu is limited and does change so the next time it may not be the same.

So proud of this local business. They got. 64 on their health score! Woohoo! -- being serious, I knew from my experience dining here something was wrong. Take a look at their health score. I can't believe this place is still open.

Really enjoyed this place! My husband got the steak and fries and it was absolutely delicious. The steak was sooo good and such great prices. I was adventurous and for the boeuf bourguignon. The flavor was great and I really enjoyed it. Definitely will be back!

Once Upon A Time In France was a wonderful experience! Went on a date night Saturday around 6. They do not take reservations so we were hoping to get on the list then grab a drink at their sister wine bar the authentique but we're delightfully surprised they could seat us right away! We started off with a bottle of Bordeaux as pictured. Food wise I order the Steak Frites which was amazing. My date ordered the Duck Confit of which we both shared a few bites. Both entrees were delicious. The service was also spectacular! Will definitely be looking forward to going back!

This place has the worst food. Wonderful name but awful food. My daughter took me here for my birthday. What a huge disappointment. Everything we tried to order was out. I finally ordered something like pot roast. I think I got one potatoes and burnt roast. I will never go back to this place. Very expensive for an awful experience. Don't do it! You will be sorry.

So excited due to the charming name and menu. Appetizers of escargot and cocquille st Jacques were great. The rest of the meal was a letdown. So disappointed. Tap water for the table was lukewarm. Ordered the bread with butter, $3 charge for 4 small slices, for the appetizers' sauces. Great butter with Publix bread, not terribly French. Also, no bread dishes or butter knife at all. Not much attention to detail by the staff since we had to ask for forks for our entrees. The duck confit had nasty flabby skin and almost no sauce. The potatoes and duck had little flavor but the duck meat was tender. The acxompanying salad was good but the mushrooms were woody and hard. My husband's Beef Bourgogne was salty and had small croutons in it and no potatoes. Couldn't wait to leave and get ice cream. If not for.the good appetizers would have rated the place with 2 stars.

We were so excited to eat here- we tried once and they were already full for the evening at 6:30! It was slightly disappointing as the service wasn't great. We had to ask multiple times for water after we were seated. We ordered a salad which never came, and also a glass of wine that never came. We weren't charged for those items, so I assume that the server never entered them. I had the steak frites and it was fine but to be honest I had to force myself to finish. I love fries. I love steak. I love food and dining out in general! It wasn't bad, it just didn't have much flavor other than an overwhelming smokiness with the steak. I wanted to add salt to the fries but couldn't get any out of the salt shaker on the table. I'm still waiting for my check...

We came here for date night after seeing all the amazing reviews... but a little conflicted Ambiance: 5 stars! Authentic French bistro vibes Food: 3 stars overall, everything was mediocre. We ordered the escargot and French onion soup to start. Escargot had a nice garlic butter. French onion soup came with an egg yolk inside. This was the first time I've seen this but it was extremely rich and the bread inside was way too soggy. For entrees, I got the steak frites with Roquefort and my boyfriend got the duck. The Roquefort on the steak was way too overpowering and the steak wasn't cooked well. Medium on the inside but still somehow dry and burnt on the outside. My boyfriend said his duck was okay. We opted to not get dessert since the whole meal wasn't that good. Service: not sure if it's a French thing but she took our orders for only appetisers first. She ran away before we could order our entrees. She brought out the appetisers and THEN took our entree orders? She never took the menu from the table afterwards so our tiny table was crammed with too much on top. They open at 4:30pm and it was already full when we arrived at 4:50. I would definitely suggest arriving right at opening or around 6 after the first service. Parking lot is very small but ample street parking down the road Loved the ambiance but we were quite disappointed the food wasn't up to par.

I had a great experience here back in May 2024 and was excited to come back but things have really gone downhill. The French onion soup had no onions or bread (even though it's pictured like this on their Instagram) and it was not hot. The rice was not fully cooked and the entire trout dish was cold. The server was kind but did not ask how the meal was so I did not get a chance to provide this feedback. Really disappointed, especially since it was a group of 6 and 20% tip was automatically included.

Perhaps we went on a bad night, but what we were served tasted like supermarket prepackaged microwave meals. It was certainly not freshly prepared: potatoes were soggy, the duck confit tasteless and dry, and all of it barely warmed over. Clearly it had been microwaved. The space is also noisy and cramped, and seating consists of uncomfortable wooden benches. They do play French music in the background, so a little atmosphere. The only plus was the service. The waitress was friendly and professional. Otherwise, this is not fine French cuisine.

Went for our son's birthday and took the whole family on January 4 2025. WOW! What a culinary ecstasy! Among us we ordered Duo Fromages Charcuterie, French Onion soup, Beef bourgeon, steak frites, Trout and crème brûlée and everyone had to share! The food and wait staff were amazing not to mention the ambience. It was a very special dinner and it is a very intimate place to go. It will not disappoint!

I've been meaning to come here for years! Been to France multiple times, so I knew what to expect out of a French bistro. They really do take the "bistro" concept seriously. It's a tiny tiny restaurant, first come first serve. The wine and cocktail list is extensive, and all of the classics you'd expect to find are on the menu. Simple dishes with great execution. Wait staff was very kind to help explain menu items. I didn't need the explanation, but it was nice that they are accommodating to those who are unfamiliar. Don't worry about your pronunciation; I think they're used to it!! I think they try really hard to be the neighborhood bistro, and I do believe they achieved that vision. I will definitely be back! Parking in this area is horrendous, but if you can snag a spot on the street, that's probably your best bet.
