Steak frites, escargots & other traditional bistro plates served against a warm, cozy backdrop.

Servers are fantastic and food delicious, but the cocktails are really where it’s at, apparently. Happy hour is a killer deal.
Warm, welcoming atmosphere.
They charge you $20 to make a reservation and they refund that on your tab.
They also charge a 22% “CHP” fee to your meal, which is strange and confusing. It’s not clear if that’s just your gratuity or not. It makes you feel like you’re cheating your server by not still tipping, and if you do, then you’re paying like a 40% tip on top of what is already a very expensive meal.
Parking sucks down here, so go early.

Went here for lunch because we were feeling fancy! Got the French Onion Soup, which was so tasty! Also shared the Mussels and frites with a Co worker! So delicious. Asked for the fries in a separate container so it wouldn’t get soggy with the Mussels but I love the dish served with fries for dunking in the white wine garlic sauce! I also got the crémé brûlée, my favorite dessert! I can’t remember what dessert my coworker got but we said it was a special occasion, and they added a candle for her! Dakota was our server and she was training a new hire as well!

We loved this place for lunch. I was all about the atmosphere; very french cafe feel. The menu is not extensive but that is ok. Our dishes were delicious and the kitchen is in the middle of the restaurant, so tiny bit of entertainment there. However, we thought the fries would be the “potato boats” we saw while being seated. They were shoestring fries with our dishes. Would eat at again when in Denver.

The food is very delicious here. I and another person had the French Dip sandwich (him with a side salad me with fries), the other two people at our table had the Nicoise salad. Everyone was very pleased with their food and found it to be quite delicious.
The portions and the presentation also are very pleasing. The French Dip is BIG so show up with a hearty appetite or be prepared to take some home as leftovers. I was also quite pleased with their fries. I’m a little bit of a fry snob so I was pleasantly surprised to find the fries quite good (not the best part of the meal by any stretch but good).
The restaurant was quite empty when we were there for lunch so we felt like we had the place to ourselves.
The downside of this was the speakers for the background music were still pretty darn loud, so it was still like it was a full restaurant. The brief moments the music stopped were something of a relief and we all would relax and luxuriate in the brief respites from the loud music so we could converse easier.
Over all a quite good place to eat lunch. Pricey but if it’s in your price range it’s a great place.

Really amazing food! The whipped feta is awesome, and the filet kabob. I shared a hellos, dyonisus and a french 75. My favorite was the dionysus but they were all amazing! Our server was very nice. My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday and the last table for dinner is at 9pm. Reservation makes it easier, you can do it on maps or you can call them. Definitely recommend so good!!

It will never take the place of Le Central in my heart, but this is an amazing new French restaurant in Denver.
We enjoyed standard French favorites including mussels and fries, goose liver pate, steak tartare, French onion soup, and profiteroles for dessert. The cocktails were great! The steaks were cooked to perfection.
I look forward to returning soon.

Did not get refunded $20 on the tab and only remembered when I got home. My food was pretty good, I recommend their Calamari and Rigatoni Bolognese, but my friend hated her salmon (it was in sweet sauce and salmon tasted burnt). Service was fast and we got seated as soon as we walked in. Overall nothing special.

This was the perfect date night restaurant pregame right before a show at the paramount theater. Must have the French onion soup and the duck confit had some of the best zesty sauces I’ve ever tasted. I’d also be okay just filling myself with their baguette and salted homemade butter spread. Can’t wait to go again when I’m in the neighborhood!

Requiring customers to pay ahead for their reservation is unnecessary and inconvenient. It is also a sign that the restaurant is not confident in its ability to attract customers.
Charging a 22% tip is excessive and unfair to the customer. The tip should be based on the quality of the service, not on the restaurant’s preference. The restaurant should give customers the option to choose the tip they want to pay.
My husband and I ordered the steak frites and the filet de boeuf. They were perfectly cooked but were salty. The roasted potato and fire roasted bell pepper were flavorful, but they were not served hot. This suggests that the dish was not prepared fresh. One positive aspect of our experience was the high-quality live music that was playing while we were there.. Overall, I believe there are better dining options in Downtown Denver for a superior meal experience.
