Who would’ve known that I ever would’ve gone to a French restaurant and had the best pork and beans (it was actually duck confit, Toulouse sausage and pork belly and white beans).
The two salads were amazing. I thought they were dressed a little bit too much, but actually it was perfect.
Nice wine selection.
I was not used to my ravioli being such a small noodle, a little too much marinara for my liking – but still good.
Pizza was delicious- coming up fresh from a wood-burning oven.
We were unable to have the baked Alaskan because we ordered off the menu rather than the New Year’s eve pre fixe menu
Very cramped. I’d prefer less tables. Less than a foot – in every direction – from the next table.
You could see each other‘s bills and hear each other‘s conversations.
People are eating outside, however, it was freezing cold. They did have heat lamps, but the waiters had to keep going in and out the door that meant the inside was cold, as well.
Would go back – but probably get it to go

What a fabulous place to spend time! Very intimate and personal! Went there for our 31st anniversary and everything was simply perfect! Their Frois Gras is absolutely life changing and the manu is something of a want list for things you must try! Everything was amazing, the atmosphere was perfect and the staff were nothing short of amazing. Thank you for a perfect night with stunning food and awe inspiring atmosphere!

The clams and steak were both delicious. The bread was warm and addicting. Nice selection of wine by the glass. We sat outside and the staff turned on the heater for us. Super friendly people.

I had the salmon with ravioli and my partner had the lobster pot pie that came with some rice. I’ll start with the good/decent which was the food. The best part was the fact that we got big glasses of free champagne for taking a lyft to the restaurant which they encourage because of the lack of parking. The flavors were not anything special or extraordinary but they were good enough to enjoy the whole dish. The service was also attentive and everyone was nice and in good spirits which I appreciated.
The bad was everything else to the lack of parking, small venue, pretty crowded, no music and the dish felt too expensive for what it was. It’ll be quite a while before I come back.

A nice casual bistro on Memorial Drive. Dress code casuals. On this Tuesday evening, servers wear jeans and black shirts. Not quite half when our party of 4 was seated at 5:40.
We had a bottle of wine based on the server’s recommendation. Had CARPACCIO DE FILET DE BŒUF & VIEUX PARMESAN for an appetizer we all enjoyed. (By the way, Carpaccio means raw, as in tenderloin). For entrees, we had different items. I had the salmon on ravioli. It was tasty meal. Others had Flat Iron Steak, and Red Wine Beef Stew. All enjoyed their meal.
The service was great, from explaining meals, to selecting wine, to keeping glasses full of beverages. We were on a schedule and had to skip desserts. Nice job all the way around.

Totally reliving our summer trip to Provence at Bistro 555. We both subscribe to Date Your Spouse, a Christian app that is awesome and fun, and our most recent date challenge was to go on Trip Advisor and play restaurant roulette. So we did and we found this hidden gem.
Ravioli was amazing! Husband’s ribeye was good (it truly was, but we both admit this was the best). Bread course appetizer yum. The wine list is totally approved. And YESSS to the pistachio ice cream. Also husband says it’s the best cup of coffee he has had since France. Next time I’m getting the chicken fricassee.
So yummy. Highly recommend. And shout out to Yirla ❤️

The food was delicious, definitely worth going and definitely worth going again. The chicken entree was delicious, one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. If the onion soup was put in the oven and heated up to a Hell level temperature it would have been perfect, and the profiteroles have a rich dark chocolate that was great.

We dined here last night and there were some good and not so good. The good-friendly and good service. Some foods were good – fresh bread although small portions, escargots, french fries and apple tart dessert. Not so good was the mussels- lots of gritty sand so obviously not prepared properly and too creamy, the beef bourguignon lacked flavor and beef was tough.

This French restaurant was definitely worth the try! The decor was very traditional European style and gave you a casual and intimate vibe. Food were excellent and service were above par. The French oil soup was thicker and richer than what I had in Paris, but was still very good. Steak and mussels were good too. would definitely come back to try more items.

WOW – I think I may have found my favorite, local restaurant. This place is very cozy and has great ambiance with a French theme. I’ve been wanting to come here for years, and I was NOT disappointed. The staff is very friendly, the kitchen is open with the wood-fire oven making bread non-stop, and the wine was a nice compliment to the star of the show – the food! Without getting in to the French names of the dishes, I had the succulent beef stew that was PACKED with flavor, and the beef was soft and melted in my mouth. My wife had the Salmon with Chorizo, and the cheese starter plate. My mouth is watering as I write this And, as the waiters came out with dishes for adjacent tables, every dish looked amazingly delicious! I am a fan of this place and suggest you give it a shot and see for yourself.
