Reviews
The staffs are attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. It worth to try and it’s a must-visit.
We went for the all you can eat brunch. We showed up slightly early to our reservation and were seated early.
The brunch itself was mixed. The eggs, bacon, sausage, and veggies were no better than any other breakfast buffet, and since its $38 per person I would expect them to be little nicer. I thought the pancakes were good and French toast was delicious.
The charcuterie at the front of the buffet line was empty when we first arrived but was refilled in time to try it on the 2nd pass. It was a small but decent selection, but again for the price I would expect a little more.
Where the buffet shined was the pastries and desserts. All that we tried were very good, especially the king cake, croissants, and tiramisu. The drinks we got were good, and the coffee that was included in the buffet was decent.
The final cost was high, for two people for the buffet and one cocktail each was over $100. The service was fine, they were very good about clearing old plates from the tables but it felt like our server ignored us most of the time we were there.
We came here for unlimited steak Sunday. The wait for the steak was about 10 minutes. The host was nice; however, the service was not. It honestly felt like they didn’t care about us at all. Throughout the entire dining experience, our server never checked on us, yet frequently checked on the table next to us.
Now, about the steak—it was BAD. When it first arrived, it looked delicious, but after taking a bite, it was absolutely the worst. It was so chewy that I had a hard time swallowing it. There was no seasoning on the steak, only the green sauce. Because of how tough it was, the only thing I could actually eat were the fries.
I had high expectations for this restaurant based on the good reviews, but this experience was extremely disappointing.
I visited during Dine Out Boston and overall, the experience was fine. The ambiance definitely leans upscale, with romantic lighting, stylish bar, and outdoor space. There’s also no obvious host stand (how European!).
Dine Out Boston dinner was $38 per person, covering an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. I ordered the assiette de saumon fumé (smoked salmon plate for a $3 surcharge), cabillaud rôtis & légumes de saison (roasted cod fish with seasonal veggies), and riz au lait (rice pudding). I skipped the fromage course for an extra $6 for two cheeses. With all the upcharges, it felt like the value of the prix fixe menu was undermined – but compared to their regular pricing, still seemed like a deal.
What kept surprising me was the inconsistency. Two people ordered the pâté de campagne and ended up with dishes that looked nothing alike. The side salads didn’t even have the same ingredients – one came with radishes and tomatoes, the other greens only. The mains had the same issue, this time with the cod – mine was thoughtfully arranged, while the other was thrown together haphazardly, with different veggies and a less refined appearance overall.
On the flip side though, portion sizes were unexpectedly generous! I felt full after the starter and stuffed after the main. By the time dessert came around, I could barely manage a few bites of the riz au lait (which wasn’t that good, so fine by me).
The salmon itself was decent, though the white bread was a bit sad. It almost looked like there was caviar on top, but I was perfectly happy with the blackberries that it turned out to be. The roasted cod was also excellent, and the vegetables were exceptional for hanging perfectly in that “just right” spot.
On a side note, the bathroom didn’t live up to expectations. While not terrible, it was noticeably dirtier and smellier than the rest of the restaurant’s interior would lead you to expect.
Was a success here. I love the place, first time for us. Very authentic feel for a French bistro, and that’s often not the case. Chose the mushroom omelette with fries. Both were delicious. Fries are the real French version. Have to return to try dinner.
