She Said: I’m going to make this simple and sweet. Not my place at all, not my idea of a fun place, not even a place to take my parents. You go here, all you see is business people or people talking stocks. All though our waitress was nice and helpful, I was too impressed on a) the wine list.. one french wine for a french restaurant. b) food was okay, but not my style. c) the atmosphere. If I don’t like the atmosphere, then probably I won’t enjoy anything….

He siad: This french bistro, is not pretensius or trys to be. once i walk in the decor feels like nothing particular is nice, and all is where it should be, but screams chain. Almost like chesse cake factory with a french touch. for me the ambience of place is important but not a deal breaker, in the end she and I are in the quest for the ultimate good food. so we decided to give it a try. The wine list only had one frech bottle to order not very impressive, the menu is short and there are several things we could order, we did try the french frites wich i belive were pretty good. As main dish i had the rack of lamb, in my opinion it was ok, not to flavorfull. oh well!, I finish the night with a Mexican coffe as a dessert and digestive that was pretty good and probably the highlight of the dinner. Go there if yu are with a big group of people and in the area, never as place you pick just to have dinner.
