First, I really wanted to like this place. It was recommended by a friend and it was a nice local restaurant. We came at 5:30. the staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere was really nice. That’s really the extend though of the experience.

We had –
The bread – totally pleasant but very overly salted butter
French onion soup – incredibly over salted that was practically inedible but we also paid $21 so we wanted to give it a shot
Steak frites – over seasoned steak. Had to scrape off the peppercorn. Fries were soggy like they were sitting for a while. For $70, pretty big letdown
Chicken – was fine.
Creme brulee- best thing we tried.

Overall, for $240, this was a huge letdown of a special meal.

Again I’ll note the staff was lovely and only thing salvaging an extra star, but can’t recommend the food at all!

This is a lovely bistro with a European vibe. We were greeted and seated promptly, and our server was at our table in a few minutes. The drinks selection is excellent, with interesting and unique selections. The menu is fabulous, French-based, and something for everyone. My husband had the Ravioles du Dauphiné, with shaved black truffles, and it was superb. I had the Rainbow Trout, perfectly cooked. We shared the haricots verts, delicious with butter and almonds. We split a chocolate lava cake for dessert, which was served with vanilla ice cream and basil. Service throughout the meal was exceptional. A perfect dinner!

Great spot in Truckee with an excellent happy hour from 5-6 PM! We shared the deviled eggs with caviar (the standout dish), a delicious hamburger, crispy fries, and the shrimp & sausage and ham board—both fantastic. The shrimp cocktail was the only thing I’d probably skip next time. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was on point. Looking forward to returning to try the full menu!

Very high quality food and service at this upscale restaurant. Baked goods and pasta are made in house, and are spectacular quality. Food menu is inventive yet easily accessible. The drink list is excellent and the staff is knowledgeable for recommendations. You can easily get carried away in cost, but you will enjoy every minute of it.

I really enjoyed this place. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the lighting and atmosphere were nice. The oysters were super fresh and delicious, served with a tangy and flavorful mignonette, lemon, and Tabasco sauce. The fresh-baked demi baguette was crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside, and served with salted butter—mmm. We loved the overflowing cheese on the French onion soup. The flavor of the soup itself was savory and complex. The cassoulet featured house-made sausage and the duck was super tender. The rainbow trout was fresh and perfectly cooked, and tasted delicious with lightly dressed greens. We were stuffed!! Overall a great addition to the downtown area. P.S. The Sancerre I had was fantastic—minerally, balanced, complex.

A true gem in the Sierra’s. The wait staff is truly amazing. Very spacious and room to breathe while dining. The food was exceptional, very fresh and French like. The kitchen has Gould take a bow. I wasn’t sure about what wine would go well with the meal and they brought out a flight pairing to assist with my bottle choice!

10 Stars! Absolutely amazing dinner. Everything we had was delicious but I particularly loved the French onion soup. I eat a lot of FOS and this was up there as one of the best.

The shrimp was good, baguette is worth getting. We had the cassoulet and steak frites as mains and loved it all. Cannot recommend this place enough for a special occasion or not.

They also have a solid happy hour that’s worth checking out. Great staff, Brooke was amazingly friendly. Good music too – these jazzy instrumental remixes of pop/rap songs. Nothing beats humming along to PASS THE COURVOISIER while eating duck confit!

Perfect date night! We were blown away by the four-course chef’s tasting menu and wine pairing. Gorgeous dining room, delicious food, and perfectly timed courses. Michelin star level experience.

What an amazing meal. I made a reservation for the wrong day and they were so accommodating in getting us seated despite my mistake. We did the tasting menu (as a table of 5) and it was incredible. So much amazing food, every bite got better. From start to finish, this meal was fantastic and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
