Update we had dinner at the wine bar yesterday and Natasha took good care of us. Food was excellent so i am upgrading their rating to 5 stars- great job Lepic other than your kitchen closes too early at 9 for a Friday..
My mother and I visited this restaurant for lunch on the day after Christmas 2024, around 12:30 PM. There was a bit of confusion initially about which door to use, but a helpful sign directed us to the correct entrance (the blue door). Upon entering, we immediately noticed a staircase leading up to what appears to be a wine bar that occasionally hosts jazz music. To the left, there’s another door leading to the main dining room.
Note: The bathrooms are upstairs, which could pose a challenge for individuals with mobility issues. There are quite a few stairs, and the narrow doors make wheelchair access nearly impossible. It seems they have the capability to set up outdoor seating, though none was available during our visit.
We were promptly greeted in the dining area and shown to a table. The hostess kindly asked if we were comfortable with the table’s location, which we appreciated. Later, we noticed a group of three who were offered the same choice and opted for a different spot. Two of the women in that group, wearing fur coats, seemed slightly perturbed by the lack of a designated place to hang their coats. Our coats, however, draped over our chairs without issue.
We both ordered the “Médaillons de boeuf poêlés.” When my mother inquired about the pronunciation of “poêlés,” our waiter, who had a thick Spanish accent, admitted he wasn’t sure. His accent posed a slight challenge while explaining the specials, and despite our efforts to clarify one item, he didn’t seem to understand our request for repetition. Ultimately, we moved on to the menu. We were given two options: a lunch Prix Fixe menu and the main menu.
The beef medallions (on the main menu) were cooked perfectly—mine medium and my mother’s medium-rare. The garlic polenta was flavorful and delicious, but the vegetables felt more like a garnish than a true side dish. I would have appreciated a larger portion.
At the end of the meal, it took a while to catch the waiter’s attention to request the bill. To his credit, we had only eaten one beef medallion each and likely appeared as though we weren’t finished. We placed our flatware face-down on the plates and eventually set our napkins on the table as a signal, but I finally had to raise my hand to flag him down, something I do not like to do as it feels rude.
When we requested carry-out boxes, we were pleasantly surprised that the staff took our plates to the kitchen to box up the food for us. This thoughtful touch spared us the task of scraping leftovers into the containers ourselves and risking spills on clothing.
Crowd is on the older side.
