    Amazing place! Real authentic French Bistro food with true high quality American service. The best of the two worlds! We tryed and recommend: french onion soup, bone Marrow, boeuf bourguignon and foie gras stuffed quail. The place is nice and comfortable, service is nice and professional. Deserves 6 stars!

    The food is outstanding. The water is filtered and bottled when brought to the table. The service is off the charts and amazing. The servers are very kind and courteous. They will honor any dietary restrictions or needs that one might have. The ambiance is elegant. The lights are dimmed.

    This place offers your traditional French cuisine. The overall taste of their dishes are above average.
    Their portion sizes are similar for the Houston area.
    The quality of their beef was slightly below average especially with the price they are charging.
    I really like their big and juicy muscles.
    But don't get the duck breast, it is dry not juicy at all.

    We had Saturday night reservations and were seated promptly. The overall ambience was very romantic and perfect for date night.

    The escargot was delightful, get the 12, don't bother with the 6.

    She ordered the chicken breast with the raspberry sauce and I had the special which was a steak dish with incredible potatoes.

    Dessert was their pear dish and it was surprising in all the good ways.

    Service was a little sub par - the waitress was unable to help with the vast wine selection, other patrons seemed to be checked on more than us, etc, but it was nothing that spoiled the evening.

    We loved our experience and can't wait to go back. Lovely little restaurant, so happy we found this place.
