4-27-2017 was my first visit to this restaurant, and I desperately needed it to be good if not great, because the other yelp find was awful....And I didnt want to go home upset and empty stomached... This location takes credit cards, visa and master card. Theres prefix menu for $20 and its really great for those that like to sample the menu and not break the bank. So I ordered two prefixed orders and it was great! Some hits and misses but overall good experience. First and foremost...The toasted bread was just awesome...We woofed down two of those, just the butter was so frozen, you couldnt spread it on the bread...And after mentioning that, no offer was made to heat it a bit ...Was just told to give it some time. There was on other couple there besides us and then the restaurant was just Oswald, our server. He was friendly, informational....And kind of biased lol but I took that as he loves his job here. I just wish he address directly the questions I asked. The mushroom sauce with the ravioli was just pure love and Perfection, like I would marry that sauce....Just delicious! But due to it being a fixed menu item, it was like one ravioli cut in half, served on a huge plate with a ton a sauce. The mussel in wine reduction butter sauce with seasoning and diced tomatoes, the sauce was great...Can use it to cook something else if you take it home. However, the mussels were really small or overcooked? That was my first thought, since the meat inside the shell was so tiny. And had a couple that wasnt 100% fresh, otherwise, tasted just fine. We also had the soup of the day, this creamy asparagus bisque, tasted good. My boyfriend mopped it up with the toasted bread. Now the main entrees was Coco au van, and Dhanger steak The steak, was cooked just right in its tenderness...but the seasoning was off, so I mopped it off in the sauce from the other dish. Fries were very crispy, but frozen fries from a bag for sure. Diced Veggies underseasoned as well. Coco au van,....The chicken was drowned and killed in the wine....And the sauce was just strong, esp with the bacon pieces...However it made great gravy with the mashes potato paired with the dish. And fixed the steaks lack of flavor. Dessert...The the scoopes of vanilla ice cream in a bow and also two placed in two badly made cream puffs....Like the pastry was just bad...Tasted awful, but ice cream by itself...Was good, just the pairing with sour slices of strawberry was eye cringing as you eat. Cons: - No actions taken to remedy the butter situation ...Knowingly... -At the end of the night, there was just our table and our server, he started watching some videos on his phone a few times, and the volume was on high, and disturbed the experience in this setting. Felt a bit rude. And at some point he was so enthused about telling us about the steak, I couldnt even get a word in to ask a question. With 3attempts, he just cut me off......Eehh... -Lastly, repeatedly over pushing the next visit to happen (over 3times)....Felt like a car salesman forcing a sale on you...Overkill... Pro: -BYOB and no bottle opening fees -The setting is relatively nice, kind of an romantic ambiance. Good for dates. -Economic for budget dates A small seating areas, but not much people there, so we were accommodates with a larger table. All the plates , bowls served with the dishes were all properly preheated or cooled Ex: the cups was cold, along with the ice water. Ice cream bowl was frozen to serve the dish better. Plates were hot with the food. Loved that.

I live 2 blocks from this restaurant and have been meaning to check it out. I went last night and am sorry its taken 6 months to get my butt in the door. Arrived about an hour before closing. There were 2 larger parties of 8 and 2 small tables all in the later stages of dining. Walked in and were acknowledged by a wait person from the back of the room. who immediately sat us at a window table. Another wait person came over with menus and offered to chill the bottle of chardonnay I carried in. After an appropriate amount of time the waitperson returned to take our order. I actually was torn between a couple of items but decided on endive salad and roasted chicken with mashed potato and wild mushrooms. My dinner companion ordered the lobster ravioli entree. Our chilled wine was returned to the table (no corkage fee - nice) along with warmed bread and a very spreadable hunk of butter. Conversation was difficult at times from the noise level. The 2 large tables who each had consumed a few bottles of wine, were regaling their respective guests with apres-diner stories. One table in French and one in Spanish. And me fluent in neither language. A few minutes later one of the large tables left taking more than 75% of the rooms decibel level with them. Ahhhhhh...... thats much better! Dinner arrived. The presentation was attractive and understated letting the food play the feature role. My roasted chicken was a very plump, partially thick-sliced airline breast, coddled on a cloud of mashed potato with wild mushrooms surrounded by au jus. Which for this dish was similar to gravy but not as thick with less flour (more flavor) than American style gravy. It was perfect. The white meat breast was juicy, the skin had the proper roasted crunch, the potatoes were delicately seasoned but had enough salt so there was no raw earth taste. The au jus/sauce/gravy was simply delicious. I savored every mouthful. My dinner companion had been slightly apprehensive to order the lobster ravioli as sometimes the sauce can be very rich and heavy. He couldnt stop raving about the sauce. How light, flavorful and complimentary to the ravioli it was. The lobster was not overcooked yet a smooth texture nonetheless. We had to get more bread so he could sop up the sauce and me my au jus. His only not raving comment was he wished there was one more ravioli in the portion served (dont we all when its good). We did not order dessert though the dessert menu would be well-served by adding some French pastries or similar traditional items. I cant wait to go back. I especially want to try the weekend brunch menu. Oh.... did I mention this outstanding meal was $15 for roasted chicken and $18 for lobster ravioli. I hope theyre able to keep the prices so reasonable. This will truly be my neighborhood bistro of choice.

Muy rica la comida. El lugar a pesar de ser martes y estar lluviosa la noche; estaba concurrido y un ambiente muy ameno. Me gusto mucho. Los precios son muy comodos.

This place has a BYOB policy which is very nice. The open space is great and the people are friendly and helpful. Thant being said, the food is just good. The ravioli with mushrooms are small, but tasty. The fish and chicken plates are ok. they gave us a complementary ice cream, mango is very good but the coconut is the best one.

The food was BLAND. The burger was nothing special and the french toast was made from basic white bread. The home fries were raw, inedible and VERY salty (which is strange because nothing else had any seasoning whatsoever).
