Probably one of the biggest whiplash-type experiences we've ever had in fine dining. From what we…read morethought it would be, to what it actually was, the whole experience felt like it was set up to be a scam. We were sat inside, in the way back corner, farthest from the door and, in a 90-minute span, we killed at least 10 fruit flies/gnats between us. It's a nice place too that looks very clean, but they had the front door open the entire time. At first, I was trying to be subtle about it, but about halfway through, I was clapping my hands in the air and wiping bug guts on the white tablecloth. They may have been coming from the window next to me, but it was a little off-putting to say the least. The server did pick up on this, but didn't offer a different table or to at least close the front door. We didn't make a big deal about it, but by the time the wine bottle was open, we were shooing critters off our glasses regularly. Our server, who was clearly not French, kept calling us monsieur and madame and the accent was so forced, it became real cringe real fast. Please stop making the servers pretend they're French. And to be fair, our server was great, none of this was on them, but the fake French posturing HAS to be derided by the staff, so this complaint is for THEM. Unless they are a.) FROM France or b.) fluent IN French, native English is fine and preferred. This is not a place for improv and you wouldn't make an Olive Garden server speak like Mario and Luigi. Maybe our server was into it, but it became extremely painful as the dinner continued to go downhill. For entrees, I ordered the rib-eye (which includes comp refills) and SO ordered the filet. When the filet came out, it smelled loudly like a barnyard. After a few bites from each corner, it was sent back. The smell could only be compared to cow poop, and I honestly can't believe the kitchen sent it out. $64 filet and I wouldn't have given it to a stray dog. No aging on the filet also--just a bad piece of meat they tried to pawn off on a guest. My rib-eye was small (understanding with the whole "free refills" thing) and not steaming hot, but the filet's odor was a bigger problem when the plates hit the table, so I just went with it. SO couldn't/wouldn't order anything else and I don't blame them. The meat was clearly bad, and it resulted in some minor gastro issues the following day, even after just a few bites. The manager did come to the table to apologize and offered a replacement, but SO was uninterested. Going back to my entree, the "frites" that came with my ribeye were a frozen product: those battered/orange fries you get from the drive-thru at Checkers. Gross and disappointing and this is where I felt like I was being scammed. I think they claim somewhere "twice fried in beef tallow" but I know a fast-food-style fry when I taste it/see it. Also, the plate presentation was just the ribeye and fries. No garlic aioli, no ketchup, no parsley, no lemon, no garnish. Chef clearly doesn't know the 3-color rule and considering the size of the cut, it looked like something you'd get at a diner with fried eggs (and the entree has a $59 price tag also). The refill was hotter and closer to medium, and I enjoyed it more than the first one, but I wasn't risking a third helping and didn't want to have to wait anyway with my SO sitting there with nothing in front of them. Ultimately, we grinned through all of it and stayed for dessert. How hard can that be? Well, the creme brûlée was either over-whipped or too eggy. More like a flan. Not awful, but it's didn't help the dinner at that point and it was the only item the SO was interested in after the filet debacle and it was just ok. You'd think the brûlée at a French bistro would knock your socks off, right? It was meh. I followed up with a call to the restaurant and left a message to speak with the manager who touched our table regarding the filet. Not looking for a refund and you couldn't pay me to revisit, but he should know that there were multiple failings that night, not just their attempt to sell spoiled meat.

Entrees- Dover sole, out of this world and beef Bourgogne like we were in France! The wine was lovely as was the entire experience.

It's a standalone build and not part of the shopping centers. Upon walking in, it has an elevated feel with White table service. We visited on a Thursday for lunch and it was fairly busy and the service was a little slow. From a food perspective- around the table, we had a couple of seafood orders, a salad, and a couple of sandwiches. Admittedly, it was just ok. The fish dishes were very dry and the salads were overdressed. The sandwich options received better feedback from the group. For lunch - there are better options. If I was going for an occasion (and for dinner), I might give it another shot.

My only complaint is that it only filled up to about 3/4 of the cup (which isn't much), otherwise it was very good!

I can't recall what kind of sandwich I got when I dined in for lunch, but do recall that it was good and so was the service. Today, I ordered soft fried eggs, hash browns, candied bacon, and a croissant for breakfast along with a pain du chocolat. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The candied bacon did not taste candied at all and was more like slices of ham than bacon in my book, but they were tasty. The croissant was delicious, but I was not a fan of the hash browns. The flavor was okay but they were just hard. I took a few bites but didn't finish them because they were just too hard. I would not order them again. The chocolate bread, however, was divine. It was a good balance of bread and chocolate so that neither was overwhelming. While I would not order the hash browns again, everything else was good enough to warrant a return for breakfast in the future.

There is a public parking lot just across the street (paid parking), which was very convenient and just steps from the entrance. When you walk thru the little blue door, there is a very charming wooden staircase up to the restaurant. The inside is very charming. Lots of natural wood decor and a touch on the antique side. We arrived for a late lunch and had our choose of places to sit. We chose to sit next to the bar with a beautiful view of the balcony and canton street. If the weather were nicer, that balcony would have been THE place to be. Our server was so A++. Since we were in the room by ourselves, she adjusted the music for us, which was very appreciated and personalized. We wanted a little throwback experience to traveling through France and the many little cafes that we visited. I ordered a croque madame with a side salad. My other half ordered an alsacienne flatbread. The madame was very hearty and the salad generous. It had a lovely Dijon vinaigrette, which I loved but some may find a bit sharp/spicy. The flatbread had a similar flavor to the Tarte Flambee but a different look. The dessert menu was tempting, but we didn't have any space for a sweet treat. Next time ... Would I go back - absolutely. I could also see this as a perfect place for a ladies lunch or brunch. With a little pre-planning, it could also be a really fun, upscale venue for a bridal/baby shower too. I can already imagine a glass of bubbles and being surrounded by family and friends.

I got the steak and eggs. It comes with some potatoes as well. On the menu, it says "NY Strip Steak" and our waiter even asked if that was okay. They ended up serving us Rib Roast and the waiter came out as they served it to us and said "oh my manager said they changed the cut"....those are two different types of meat/steak and it would have been nice to have the option to change my meal because really, the rib roast was not good at all. It had no flavor to it and it carried a lot of liquid to it that all the liquid fell to the bottom of the bowl and mushed up the potatoes. My sister got the chicken and waffles, and she said that the chicken was tough and seemed to be overcooked.

This place is for crepes, French pastries (friends, croissants, tarts), and breads. I've never been for lunch, though that's my daughter's preference for this place. Why aren't we here more often? The coffee. It's fine, but nothing great, and when my wife and I have a Saturday morning to go out, we usually want great coffee. The space is tight, smallish, but clean. They seem to do more to-go business than eat in. We've never seen it packed, but there is usually a steady stream of to-go. Want great pastries? This is the place.

Unfortunately this is not the kind of bakery where you can pick up some loaves, baguettes, etc. so I'd consider this more of a cafe. We consumed two half sandwiches (honey maple and roast beef) there, took a couple of croissants and a bread pudding to go. The sandwiches were good, nothing spectacular, but fresh ingredients and well-executed. The croissants were definitely better than average and far better than what you can find most places in the US. Having had croissants in France, I would say this comes pretty close. We didn't have any trouble finding a table or parking right out front, it must have been just past the lunch rush on a Saturday. Note that they are closed Sunday and Monday, and only open until 3 pm Tuesday through Saturday. I would return if I was in the area again.
