A friend highly recommended this place for outstanding French-inspired food & boy was she right! We checked off a lot on our bucket list. They’re open for dine-in (reservations) & takeout, dinner menu only, w/outside seating. Everything was lovely, like a true French cafe up to the duck ragu pappardelle & boeuf bourguignon. A great deal too. We spent less on a full dinner w/dessert than we did on appetizers at the nearby hotel’s Water’s Table.

PS. We went back to celebrate my husband’s birthday a few weeks later. OMG, you HAVE to try the lamb osso bucco…so flavorful, tender, fall off the bone tender. I couldn’t get enough. And, the salted honey caramel chocolates, definitely a signature dessert, as well as the divine butterscotch pot de creme.

This cozy restaurant offers the best French cuisine in the area. The atmosphere is charming, the food is exquisite, and the service is impeccable.

The cool thing about this place is that every time you visit their menu is different.

Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.

Really wonderful restaurant nestled next to the Hyatt. Excellent food, portions were just right. Good service – friendly and attentive. Convenient parking in the garage across the street – the restaurant will validate your ticket for two-hour parking.

What a great cafe in the middle of Southport (Renton) specializing in french cuisine I have yet to find anything on the menu that isn’t extraordinary! It’s a nice intimate and close environment that provides for great conversation and experiences. Our server Julie was very knowledgeable and very attentive. She made us laugh and heightened an already brilliant dinner. Although slightly pricey, I can say with confidence it is worth every last penny! I highly recommend making this hidden gem one of your next nights out!

Appetizers didn’t hit, not a flavorful soup, very light, but the lamb rack was perfect. Duck was pretty good. Dessert was rich and creamy

YUMM!! Peyrassol did not disappoint! I had the duck ragu and it was amazing. The service was warm and friendly and the food was tasty! Their seasonal dessert, the pavlova was also a tasty treat!
-It’s open for reservation dine-in seating right now, I wouldn’t hesitate to book!
-Parking side note: if you park in the garage they will validate up to 2 hours.

This restaurant is excellent. The service, food, and ambiance was superb. The beef was so tender. The pasta with meatballs were good. I loved the meatballs. This place is a little expensive, but they’re great!! The butterscotch dessert is out of this world divine!! The pavlova is also very good and has a lovely presentation.

Excellent food and service. A bit noisy at the table near the door, fan running to cool kitchen.
Sorry the photo reds are a bit intense on my camera.

So disappointing. Over rated, over priced, food was mediocre at best, poorly designed space and needs maintenance. I don’t recommend it. It’s pretty bad when you get a better breakfast at IHOP at a fraction of the price. The atmosphere doesn’t make up for it either.

Let me preface the rest of the review with this: I’ve worked in and managed high end hospitality businesses and now design small restaurant spaces. I’ve gone into great detail so both customers and the owners/management have lots of info and references on why I gave it such a poor score.

THE SPACE:
On their website, this business comes across as a high end cafe and charges like it is, but it doesn’t come close to the expectation. Lights were falling from the ceiling, some cracked and damaged too. Ceiling tiles were stained. Vents were caked with dirt. When you walk in the front door, you’re walking into what feels like the back of house in a restaurant. The kitchen didn’t look very clean. You can see it when you’re waiting for a table. Maintenance of a restaurant says a lot about the owners and staff.

THE FIRST IMPRESSION:
There was no hostess and we were there 15 min after they had just opened on a Saturday. We were second in line to be seated. A server had their back to everyone and was punching in an order on a computer screen. No greeting. The same server turned around eventually and seated the people in front of us. When the server came back, the phone started to ring. By this point there were at least 2-3 more parties behind us. Instead of picking up the phone and asking them to hold (since everyone in the waiting room was there first) the server took the call and started making a reservation which took several minutes. Then hung up the phone and complained about the caller to everyone in the room. Then seated us.

THE FOOD:
Coffee was watered down and really weak. Didn’t taste very good either. Seattle is coffee country. You can do better than that.

I ordered the Dutch Baby pancake. It was burnt on the bottom and undercooked throughout. There was almost no powdered sugar and the lemon wedge I was given was so tiny I could barely squeeze any juice from it. If I pay $10 for a (small) single pankcake I think you can give me a normal sized lemon wedge. You can find way better Dutch Baby pancakes elsewhere in Seattle.

My fiance said his crab Benedict was fine, but nothing to be wowed about.

THE PRICING:
You’re charged $4 for watered down weak coffee and your menu informs you in BOLD that EACH refill is an additional $1. Again, pricing like a high end cafe, but since they have paper napkins, poor tasting coffee and not even a hostess, they should not be charging you for refills.
P.S. no good high end cafe would put that in bold on their menu. It’s considered impolite.

Also, I read on the menu you’re automatically charged a 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. Most restaurants are 8 or more people and it’s 18%.

THE SERVER:
Our server was the same one who seated us. Once we were seated, the service was not bad but not great.

CONCLUSION:
Here’s what I recommend to the owners/management –

– Fix the waiting area so customers aren’t facing the back of a kitchen fridge and get a hostess on busy weekends. It’s the first impression.

– Teach your staff how to greet and treat customers. They should always be aware of the customer. Most understand when it’s busy so long as they’re acknowledged.

– If you’re trying to be a high end cafe that charges like one clean the space better, fix broken items, use nicer napkins and don’t patronize customers on your menu.

– Make sure your kitchen staff doesn’t send out poorly cooked food.

– Get better coffee or teach staff how to make it.
