As Valentine’s Day approaches, I needed a restaurant that goes above and beyond with the food, atmosphere, and music. This place definitely has all of that! When me and my wife arrived we were greeted by great customer service by the waiters and amazed by the vibes this place had, we had the Valentines Day 5 course meal along with me and my wife’s favorite meal, Lamb ribs & scallops. Extremely delicious food! Daniel Little made us feel loved & welcomed and took our reservation prior before us coming in to enjoy our dinner! Daniel put together a successful meal plan for this special & romantic day, we were blown away and enjoyed the surprise of the music. Larry, a talented & wise piano player. We enjoyed every bit this place had and definitely loved and appreciated the hard work they put in, hope this place strives. Recommend this place!

A hidden gem for French food, cozy feel! There is new ownership, the owner is currently the chef and server as well (don’t worry- there are other kitchen staff as well) and he was so kind and welcoming! The food was very tasty- good use of acid- but dessert was the best! I’ve never had strawberry mousse before- the flavor was light and natural- I could have eaten several bowls and the crepes suzzette were mouthwatering. I had the Cassoulet and even though it had lamb and duck which I usually am not a fan of- it was delicious! My date had the salmon and it looked well cooked. I can’t wait to go back!

Came on a Friday evening at 5pm because the movie Ratatouille inspired us to eat French food and wow, awesome place. We were immediately greeted by Daniel who had great energy and who was both our server and chef. The ambiance was relaxing and upscale with awesome theme music. First we were served a fresh, warm loaf of bread straight from the oven with butter and then frog legs as an appetizer which were so savory and delicious. We had lamb ribs with a feta reduction sauce that was perfect and beef Bourginon which was also delicious. Everything was perfect and Daniel made the experience awesome 10/10

The French Cuisine is exquisite, elegant and fabulous! The Tarragon Chicken just melts in your mouth and flavorful! French Beouf Bourguignon a’ L’orange is delicious and the meat is so tender and rich with fresh orange flavor! The Spinach Salad was flavorful! The French Onion soup was rich in flavor and delicious! The atmosphere is beautiful with all the paintings and antiques! They have a beautiful piano for music! The service was exceptional! The Chef is fantastic and creative! I recommend it! We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and they even congratulated us!

I will admit it is a gorgeous restaurant and the food sounded incredible, but, unfortunately, we were greeted by a server who seemed completely stoned and, hearing the conversation with the chef in the back, so was the chef. We literally heard him say “Kay I’ll get their waters” giggle “1,2,3” chef laughs “Nice” chef responds. We didn’t feel comfortable with them making our food at the prices we saw. It was so disappointing.

We were looking for as close to an authentic French restaurant and this place was a pleasant surprise! We each ordered a different entree and all of them were delicious. Each course was delicious and served with great care. The head chef, Daniel, was very kind and wanted to ensure that we had a great dining experience. We can’t wait until we dine here again!

What a great little place we happened to stumble upon in Albuquerque. The chef was kind, service great and the food was superb. The tea was also quite a surprise and what a high quality at that. A wonderful experience. 10/10 will dine at again. Treat yourself.

I had the lamb ribs and my friend had the salmon. Both were okay. I’ve had better and I’ve also had worse. Prices are moderate. The lamb was 24 bucks and it came with potatoes and green beans. The salmon was in the 20s as well and came with rice and green beans. The service was good. They do not serve alcohol here. We had someone playing a piano live music when we were there. Very nice

It was just after Covid, and places were just reopening. Frau Doktor suggested this place, and it was quite nice. We were the only ones there, which made it nicer yet.

My friend and I had lunch on a Friday at this restaurant. The Chef Daniel is gracious and devoted to ensuring an excellent experience. The onion soup, fresh bread and butter, lamb ribs and chocolate mouse were outstanding. Come see for yourself, Albuquerque! We need more wonderful restaurants like this one. Try it – you will be amazed!
