I only had the bacon scone and a cafe Au lait... But will not quickly forget the either. The cafe was expertly concocted- beautifully designed and needed not a drop of sugar. Proper. The bacon scone was exquisitely and simultaneously dense and light- both with a small hint of sweet and a bit more savory...like nothing I've eaten before. The person who helped me was kind, adept, and operated quickly without a sense of being an arduous or indifferent undertaking - not always this Americans women's experience in beautiful, amazing Paris (full of amazing Parisians). Decore and musical choice were contemporary hip, with a Brooklyn feel-less the pretension (hartz to BK). A complete delight. read more

To report: Walked up to Frenchie after ambling Flaneur style for about an hour, aka completely lost looking for the right alley. It was a hilarious adventure. No reservations, thought we might try the wine bar. In fact, we got to a point of it being a slight joke, and simply wanted to find the damn restaurant. Well... we arrived around 8.45p. We asked if there had been any cancellations, and FULLY expected them to laugh at us. The lovely somm said for us to come back at 9.30p. Completely confused, we ambled some more, arrived back at Frenchie around 9.20p, and stood by the door, confusedly, wondering what we were waiting for, other than low blood sugar, and a silly argument prior to a lousy meal after getting turned away. When we walked up to the alley at 9.20p, it was COMPLETELY full outside.... at least 20 people. We smiled and crouched, and acted quiet and kind and stayed out of the way of the service path from the wine bar. At 9.35p, the server looked at the crowd, then looked at us, and some... come in. I may post the below in the Frenchie thread, just fyi.. hope that is ok. We got the last table in the 2nd seating, without reservation. We had a divine experience, and it was... I can't .... we were seriously filled with endorphins and adrenalin and confused and elated. It was a surreal moment. So until now, it apparently has been reported NOWHERE ELSE: By the end of the meal, we had made friends with the somm. We chatted for a bit. Here's the scoop: 1) 1st seating is American. 2nd seating are French. This is no orchestrated thing... it is simply the different between the two cultures. The US books the early shift, the French book the late. If you are looking for a less annoying experience, book the 2nd meal. I am a 6'6" American... but my voice in France is about 1/4 of what it would be back home. =) Listening to "our people" in the wine bar, from outside, was just depressing. I really hope we don't all sound like we are trying to be noticed in lieu of how utterly unimportant we are. Ha. 2nd seating is the way to go. As for mission impossible, here's the 2 scoops with a cherry on top (or like last night, Stilton w/ stewed cherries for dessert): Because Frenchie is such a "thing", this adorable and unpretentious little hole in the wall with approx 25 seats (if you are imagining a huge restaurant, and frustrated at not getting through, this may clear that up a bit... it's teeny, of course), people are booking reservations about 3 months out. That is wholly untenable, and the somm mentioned that they are getting, approximately 2 cancelled reservations a night at the 7.30p seating, and much rarer to get any 2nd seating cancellation (likely as it more local people). That being said, it's obvious the strategy for those without reservations is to show up quite early, and just make it known you will hang out in hopes of a cancellation. Early shift is likely, if you show up REAL early, 2nd shift not so much. But it's good to know the success of the place has actually opened up the possibility of a table. Just be patient, kind, deferential, and all that. They handled themselves with the utmost of professionalism... there was no list, but they remembered we were the first to check before all others, and when they sat us, they turned all 20 people away. They didn't laugh, there was zero pretention, when we asked.... it was a superb experience. Some chef & wine friends here in Paris and in SF area couldn't wait, so when I got home I tweeted the courses: https://twitter.com/#!/s... that should be up for a few days with all the courses. It should start at the foie gras torchon. I will of course right the review later..... All I can say is that I was impressed with their professionalism, and lack of pretention. there is ZERO, in any way. What they do is superb. Also... if someone can correct me, but when did the San Francisco and Napa valley michelin culture start influencing Paris? It is quite obvious that what is happening here is born from what we have been doing in Northern California? Am I wrong? Whatever the case.... divine. now to 2nd seating of Chateaubriand! We are vagabonds, I tell you! 1st: Foie gras torchon, apple, artichokes 2nd: Free range hen egg, wild garlic, porkbelly, wife got smoked trout, avocado, pickled cucumbers 3rd: Milk-fed lamb, min chutney. Wife got (whitefish) Lac Leman Fera, asparagus, morels, sherry wine... perfectly done. 4th: Stilton with amarena cherries, and wife got rhubarb custard tart, guariguette strawberry sorbet.... This was easily one of my favorite meals in my entire existence, and that still amazes me to say. It was a delightful and epic evening of romance, and delight. That somm made our night, as did Paris, the staff, the experience of being alive! =) I am flush with memories... even running home through the Metro, which closed on us at our destination. It was such a late night, filled with mirth and adventure..... =) read more

I was dying to go here 4 years ago when the hubs and I came to Paris. Of course, all booked up! It only made me want to go even more.. Fast forward to last month, I was finally able to score reservations through the Visa Concierge service. We dined with our dear friends who were honeymooning, and well agreed it was our best meal of the trip! I liked that we weren't given a menu. We were simply asked if we had any allergies. No? Perfect. Leave it up to the chef. The starter were these tiny, ornate-looking bacon biscuits. YUM. The next was another amuse bouche. Then came the fish, duck, foie gras, and two desserts. TWO DESSERTS. Bless them. Everything was phenomenal, including the service. One could only dream of coming back! read more

Avoid Frenchie at all costs! Here is my story. My wife and I decided to go to Paris as part of our honeymoon. Instead of going to high-end restaurants every night, we decided to selectively choose a few well-respected places and stick to traditional neighborhood cafes and brasseries most of the time to get a better feel for what real Parisians eat. After all, no one eats in four star restaurants every night of the week. Frenchie--having won praise everywhere from Le Fooding to the New York Times--seemed like a great choice for one of our (two) big nights out. So, I called six months in advance to get a reservation for a Friday night. This Friday night was supposed to be our BIG night out in Paris. I had the night pictured in my head. We were going to spend to the limit, enjoy the finest wine, stay out all night, and see the supposed best that Paris had to offer. Then we arrived . . . . and all of the lights were off. I knocked on the door to no avail. Yes, Frenchie was closed. So much for the reservation! But more about that Friday and the reservation now. That Friday was the day after La Fete Nationale (aka Bastille Day). I knew this when I made the reservation and knew that much of Paris closes during this time. So, I went out of my way asking the person that answered the phone at Frenchie if they would be open on that Friday. I was repeatedly assured, "Yes, of course, we will be open. We are almost fully booked already." Alas, they were not open. So, I will end with a word of caution. Frenchie might have great food (I wouldn't know), but they do not have great service. One would expect so much more from a purportedly world renowned restaurant. Luckily, I have an awesome wife that was able to turn the night around and we ended up having a blast drinking wine and eating cheese elsewhere. While Frenchie turns its nose at the Michelin guide, it does not have to worry about selling out. With service like my wife and I received, Frenchie will never get star anyway. read more

My wife and I ate here during our trip to Paris last Thursday to celebrate our honeymoon and had a fantastic meal. Probably in the top two-three dining experiences for the two of us. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive. JP and the staff care of us throughout the meal. We were thrilled to be sitting right by the kitchen and got to see the sous chef work to plate and finish many of the dishes. The food was outstanding (flavorful, inventive, attractive playing, and featured local / seasonable ingredients). Some highlights include: cured/smoked/caramelized trout, squab and black pudding, and a foie gras and eel dish. We even had the pleasure of speaking with the chef (Austin), who stopped by to ask how we liked the food and took the time to explain some of the dishes and techniques employed. It was great to hear from him and learn a little about his process. We will definitely plan to dine here again next time we visit Paris! Thank you for a great meal and experience! P.s. We enjoyed the meal so much, we ordered the Frenchie cookbook from Amazon as soon as we got home - looking forward to trying it out soon! read more

We had a nice dinner but have to admit we were disappointed. Maybe there is too much Frenchie hype...nothing wowed us and we much preferred the Bar e Vins . We enjoyed Pierre Sang en Gambey much much more as well . What we liked : the fabulous informal intimacy of the dining room and the relaxed atmosphere. The wine pairing was great & @$99 it should be. Started with a melon gazpacho w smoked eel foam ( we had smoked eel gelee a few days earlier at Alain Ducasse). It was ok. The goat cheese puff with labneh /oil was unremarkable and almost ordinary. Best part of the meal was tomato water with marigold oil. It reminded me of the sublimely perfect tomato water at Charles Nob Hill when Chef Ron Siegel was there. There was Dorset crab with a tomato water jelly and sweet cherry tomatoes....just ok, followed by a melange of corn polenta, confit egg yolk ( now that was amazing) small corn nibs, herbs , flowers, lime...it was just too much going on. too much of a mix and just didn't work for me. We asked if should be eaten all together since it was served in a deep bowl and the server said to eat it deconstructed , which I'm still not sure that's right. Anyway don't stress if you can't get a res here. Work harder to get to Septime or rather easily to get to Pierre Sang. read more

Make a reservation ahead of time for sure. We were the first table sat on the evening we went, we got to sit at the chefs table and watch everything be prepared. Of our three week trip in France and Italy this was the most incredible evening and meal. Every bite was better than the last. This meal will go down in history as one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The staff was so pleasant to be around. Good vibes all the way around. I highly recommend doing the wine pairing as well.... The Sommelier has a real gift :) read more

All dishes are delicious and smartly composed by new Chef Johnson, perfect wine pairing by sommelier Pierre and with JP's very friendly host. We were lucky to be seated at Chef's table, witness the chef's respectful work of art. What a memorable dinner! read more

Best meal we had in Paris, get your reservation in because it's very popular and very worth it!

The food here was amazing, we came here durning the rush hour but still had amazing service. We were kind of lost with the wine list but our waiter was extremely kind in helping us. Also it does pay to speak some French. read more

One of the best meals of my life without a question. There's really nothing I could ever put into words that describes this amazing culinary experience. The fish entre that I had was nothing I had ever tasted. The combination of the fish with the miso smoked eggplant and trumpet mushroom was absolutely incredible. The staff at Frenchie was very helpful especially for my wife and I's limited French speaking abilities. They have two menus! One in French One in English so there was no confusion. Not that it would have mattered because this place does not disappoint. We were so lucky to get in. This place is not easy to find that's for sure so if you are a tourist and don't know Paris very well, get a map, a good one. We went during the week and came about 7pm (way early for Parisian standards) and got right in. The young lady that works there was great. I believe she was American (sorry forgot her name) and was great. All though she did have to deal with annoying old lady from New Jersey that was causing quite a scene because she thought she had made a reservation, she handled it like a pro. I get the feeling that happens more often than not. Turning down people is a good thing to have from a business standpoint. I recommend this to anyone and I know I will be back anytime I visit the wonderful city of light. read more

We tried to get a reservation last year via phone which was an epic fail. This summer a reservation via website was easy and they sent us an email reminder the night before our reservation to confirm. I know internet reservations don't sound romantic and chic, but it gets the job done. It seems to be trending in Paris and I'm loving it (DO YOU HEAR ME L'AMI JEAN?!!!). I can plan my foodie life with ease. Anyhow, the food at Frenchie was amazing. I would like to try the wine bar next time. We stood outside the restaurant after our lovely meal and briefly chatted and thanked the chef who was walking back and forth from the restaurant, wine bar, and to-go restaurant. He is a mover and shaker. Well deserved success! read more

The chef is a genius, what he does in his kitchen is art!! We made a reservation the day before and luckily got a table, The service is good, the wine list is reasonable priced and well chosen, Atmosphere is cozy and welcome, this is a place you know what the Owner just want to do what he thinks is good, and it IS good. In fact I think it is the best three course meal I ever had. The clients are from all over the world, there was Italian, French, English,Swedish, and yes one or two Americans. If you want to have a amazing experience of taste, you have to try this place, in Paris. read more

Lovely interior, liked the waitress, didn't care for the others who worked there, first time in Paris to be rushed after meal, not crazy about tiny portions, food a bit rich, prefer cleaner, simpler dishes, nice wine choices helped read more

We had a wonderful night at Frenchies. Wait staff was fun and engaging. Food was excellent, even though I sometimes didn't quite know what I was eating. Its very modern fooding with things like foams and combinations of foods you might not normally think to put together. A great experience in a quaint restaurant. read more

I went to the wine bar, across the street from the original restaurant and I'm glad we went there instead because it was a great combination of beautiful Parisian style while still being fun and welcoming, like Ms Manners wasn't watching me, which is the way I kinda feel at pricer restaurants. I was fortunate enough to be seated next to the kitchen, where the young sous chefs do their prep work in a humorous fashion. In Paris, people watching is the thing to do and they definitely entertained us like they were funny fish in a fish bowl. I was also fortunate enough to be seated next to an awesome American couple who made our evening, so maybe if you go you'll meet some new friends too! I didn't realize that it was like small plates, so when I ordered, the waiter said "No, you don't understand, you don't order like this" and then told me that I had to order several things because each plate is just a small amount. Some North American tourists might interpret this as rude, but I certainly didn't. It is just part of the frank and no-nonsense nature in which you are served in Paris. This man certainly wasn't judging me, he just had a busy job and a hot restaurant and he spoke to me in a straight forward manner. Plus, I kinda like their cool indifference, it adds to the mystic of the Parisian. I then had the best ravioli of my life (never been to Italy, but I imagine it's of similar calibre) and some pretty good eggplant (which couldn't measure up to the pasta). The wine was very good and I finished the night off with a chocolate pot, which is like pudding, only topped with olive oil and sea salt. I kinda died a little. This is a restaurant that I'll remember as a highlight of my first trip to Paris. It's just so special and fun and yes, trendy, but in a way that lives up to the hype! read more

The most amazing meal of our trip to Paris. The secret pre-fix menu delighted us at each course with seasonal dishes and regional selections. Two courses of dessert was a splendid delight. At 74 euro a person, it was an economical gourmet meal that will be long remembered along with the friendly and attentive staff who catered to our every need. read more

Favorite meal in Paris. Great wines at a reasonable price as well.

Perhaps we caught this restaurant on an off night, but none of our group was impressed by the food OR the service. They were out of the first bottle of wine we ordered. The tasting menu was not terribly impressive with each dish just missing a bit of something. Given that this restaurant doesn't even answer their phone and it's one of the hardest restaurants to book, we were all disappointed. Save your money and go to Spring! read more

Ok- so all of the hype about Frenchie is completely understandable. One of the greatest dining experiences I have ever had... I made a reservation for three one month out- they have two seatings per night and we got the 9:00 seating... we did the wine pairing, which was well worth it. The staff was fun and excited about their offering and it was so wonderful to not know what was coming next, really. Duck pate, roasted brussel sprout, piece of duck with sesame coating and the truffle mushrooms.... out of this world. I believe there are five small courses... but each is small and I left feeling completely full.. Frenchie is truly a special dining experience, that should be done only by people who really have no reservations... about food that is :) read more

I was here one cold night the first week of February. I lucked out because it was a Tuesday. I knew how wildly popular this place is and had been trying for days to get a reservation, all the more difficult since I was alone. But no matter, I got in. There are two outposts, the bar and the restaurant. Both tiny, but the food is the same. The wine selections here are varied and excellent. I had two entrees described simply but what arrived was far from simple taste-wise. Intriguing and imaginative. I'm all for it if this is the "New French". I ate: coleslaw d'encornet et carrotte; and trite fumes, pig on doux, pickles. With wine of course. This place has that industrial chic vibe-- trendy, functional, spare and minimalist. Very Cool and certainly lives up to its hype -- in the rapidly gentrifying Sentier area. A not-to-be-missed food adventure! read more

Oh, Frenchie, Frenchie, Frenchie! What to say about a restaurant where expectations were so high? It's really, really good and if you have the chance to go you should. We needed a break from dégustation so we just ordered from the menu. The smoked trout was legendary. The foie gras was outstanding. In fact, everything was great, including desserts. And if the wine list was a little on the high side, it wasn't by much and it wasn't hard to find something we liked. The room was attractive in a shabby chic kind of way. The vibe was cool and the staff was warm. It was an enjoyable evening start to finish. It's just that compared to Passage 53, David Toutain and Astrance ... it didn't blow us away. In fairness, the differences aren't large. I gather a star is on the way and it's well deserved. It's not you, Frenchie, it's us. Friends? read more

Had been avoiding this place on our 3 last food excursions to Paris simply because although it had a great reputation and felt a little "obvious". Well, the reputation is truly deserved. Great food, outstanding wine and stellar service. 5 stars because its great but still prefer the wine bar. More casual, less expensive and would say the food and wine were a bit more "adventurous" - which we like. A real must. Frenchie To Go, their lunch place next door, was also amazing. read more

Everything we expected and well worth the effort required to secure a table. Service was especially capable - description of each dish was on target. Every dish was well constructed and tasty. Make the effort and score a table. read more

Frenchies was incredible. I tried to get in last year and didn't book in time to get a reservation. This year, I booked months in advance and was lucky enough to get a table. Food was excellent with beautiful presentation and perfect service. One of the best overall meals/service I have ever had. I love that the food was unique but they didn't try to hard. Great room ( a little loud) but a cool and great vibe. Good lighting too. I am glad I waited a year to get in. I'll be back next year too! Highly recommended. read more

The food was outstanding, no question, though pricey. However, we arrived for our 6:30 pm seating a mere five minutes early. We entered the restaurant and were asked to go back outside until the official 6:30 time of our reservation. This, in spite of the temperature outside being below zero!! Not at all a friendly welcome for this, our first ever visit to the restaurant. There are plenty of other excellent restaurants in Paris that I cannot imagine being so discourteous. I doubt we will return. Too bad, because the food is excellent. But it's not always about the food. read more

Small, cozy, intimate place where the "almost famous" chef does all the cooking. You can catch him in action through a small opening that peeks into the kitchen (he worked for Jamie oliver in London, as well as in Gramercy Tavern in NY.). Menu offerings change daily and are very limited. Choose from two appetizers, two entrees, and three desserts. If you are a picky eater, or prefer more the traditional fare, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, food is impeccably prepared and presented. For the price 45 euros, it's a steal in Paris. However, don't expect big portions. BTW, Excellent bread and butter. The night we were there, they served farm pork, smoked mackerel, sweet bread (thymus of a cow, think?) and hake. Can't say the service is very friendly, but given that wishful diners are constantly coming in asking for a table and the servers have to explain their reservation system, I can understand the daily frustration they face. I heard our server tell one couple that they were fully booked until end of June (we were there early April!) Now, for the tricky reservation...... We tried in vain for days to get them on the phone. So we finally enlisted the help of our hotel concierge. They were able to secure a table 4 weeks before our arrival. Thanks to them, we enjoyed our meal greatly. See if your hotel can help you with the reservations. Good luck! read more

This restaurant is great. I would highly recommend this... as an adult. The food there was great, and I got to try lots of new things. The food was very fancy, and the service was great. I love how the waitresses would make jokes sometimes. My kids, however, did not enjoy the experience. My 12 and 15-year-old kids barely ate. The food is good, but kids aren't old enough yet to fully embrace the real taste. The bright side was that my wife and I got double the servings we were supposed to have. The food, and the service is good, but if you have young or picky kids, I suggest you leave them at home. read more

I was excited to go to Frenchie (restaurant, not wine bar) because of the buzz and (some of) the reviews. Even for pricy Paris this was a big splurge meal for us, so we dressed the part and went as a 15th wedding anniversary gift to ourselves. The food was, for the most part, delicious--I mean, this is Paris!--but I really don't know what all the fuss is about. It was very, very expensive for what it was: a pretty decent prix fixe joint. I paid 15 euros for a glass of wine that was only so-so, and a chintzy pour at that. A more generous pour may have made me feel better about the generous pricing... I also felt annoyed because at that point we hadn't figured out the Parisian tipping system--and when we asked two waitresses point blank if the service was included, the French waitress said "yes" and the American waitress said "no." I mean, who doesn't want extra money? But when I learned later that the service is ALWAYS included I felt taken advantage of by my American counterpart, whose service was lackluster at best. Every meal I had during our week in Paris was extraordinary in its way; but if I could take back the $200 clams we dropped here, I probably would--it just didn't quite deliver. read more

All dishes excellent and a couple were wondrous. One of those was the beet appetizer with tongue or eel (for one of us that doesn't eat meat). Another was the guinea fowl. One of us would include the mackerel with tomato coulis. None quite at the level of 11 Madison Park in NYC but definitely a step above Pirouette. read more

Great food, amazing sommelier! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in Paris.

Best meal I ate in Paris, and totally worth the $$$. Every course (including the wine pairing) was absolute perfection. The ambiance, service, and pace were all on-point, and it was the perfect start to a romantic vacation. Definitely make a reservation as far in advance as possible. I can't wait to go back! read more

If you are in Paris and want something that is not stuffy, quaint without feeling as though you have to step into a Parisian guidebook, a damn good intersection of lower east village meets anywhere up and coming London (always changing) and Paris, think small cobblestone road, this is your place. They do not take reservations which is always the tension between super cool and sorta annoying however it does leave room for spontaneity etc. There are only about 17 two tops that can be put together various ways, the lights are low, the bricks walls meet plaster walls and its all adorned in a romantic meets chic meets too cool for school vibe. The food is inventive, playful, and creative while being within the bounds that you would expect. I thought the wine was excellent, not found elsewhere and the service, though quite French, was sorta perfect. I have told everyone to go and would be hard pressed to truly critique it other than things that are truly based on my personal tastes in food...a bit rich, Im off pork hence...and maybe more green veggies but thats just the California in me. Go and Enjoy! read more

We were able to dine at Frenchie's on the last night they were open before their renovation. Excellent meal with an excellent staff. Wine list aligns very well with the cuisine. Our Pommard went well with our sweet bread entree and the chicken plat of the evening. They accommodated our 16 year old daughter, who is a picky eater, with professional elegance. By chance old friends from Chicago were in Paris and booked at the same time. It was great to connect with them. They won't be open again until September. We'd highly recommend giving Frenchie's a try. read more

I had very high expectations for Frenchie: the fuss in Le Fooding, the NYT, the buzz around Paris...bookings two months in advance, reservations taken by phone between 3:30 and 5, etc. Last year I called a couple of times and couldn't get past the busy signal. This year I attended a charity event at the MAC VAL art museum in Villejuif, where Frenchie's was giving tastings of their food (gazpacho and a beef dish) and took the opportunity to find out how to get a real meal. A week later I hopped on my bike and went over to see Francois and was able to get a 9:30 reservation for 2 on Thursday, June 9th (6 weeks later). We arrived about 10 min late but they still had our table (not always the case). (They call to confirm...this is serious business!). Now about the food: the waitperson never told us about the appetizer of foie gras not on the menu. We saw people eating it and ordered it after we had eaten our regular appetizer (prix fixe menu with 2 choices for each of the three courses). Fortunately we did, because we were hungry at the end of the meal. The portions are small, even by usual French standards. The rest of the meal was mixed, with about half the dishes absolutely fantastic and the others very good, but not spectacular (which is what I was expecting...). I eat out a lot in Paris (where I live 4 months of the year) and am very fussy (and critical) about the food. But for the prices you often pay, I say it should be good (see my review of Itineraires, where I went 5 days after eating here and it was better). We ordered one of everything (easy to do with 6 choices). They change the menu every day so it's not like I could suggest what to order. But the things I liked were really outstanding. He's a great cook, no doubt about it, and the prix fixe meal was very reasonable. One complaint I have is that the wine was outrageous. There were three bordeaux wines on the menu (this is France after all, come on) and the cheapest was over 100 euros! The wine we did order was good (about 75 euros). Dinner for two 160 euros plus a 10 euro tip. The night I was there, they were working on the space directly across the street (a small side street) that is now open as a wine bar, no reservations. I will definitely try it when I get back to Paris. Le bilan: It's worth the hassle, just not perfect! read more

I got lucky and git a same day reservation my good friend had been stagier for a couple of months, they hooked it up. I had the pigeon with figs it was good, the skin was a little slimy, it was sous vide and butter basted to finish, my lady had the pollock with salsify it was really good. I was lucky to get in here and reservations are hard to come by, but not my favorite in paris. Beautiful restaurant in paris awesome service. Go it wont dissapoint read more

When I miss California, I can always go here. The food is fresh, modern, and delicious. Really a good deal for what you get, too. Instead of having many options every night, they have only a few options and change them frequently. It was here that I first came across a topinambour, a particularly flavorful root vegetable. When I asked the waitress what it was, she pulled out an encyclopedia of vegetables to explain. Perfect. At the end of the evening, the chef comes out to prepare the next day's menu and is happy to talk to the diners. A very personal feeling and a truly great approach. read more

Best meal I had in France! Go to the Wine Bar -- which is across the street from the Frenchie Restaurant. (I don't think they have separate Yelp accounts?) Get there early -- at least 30 minutes early -- you will wait in line until they open, but it will be worth it. Trust me. My friends and I ordered 10 or so items off of the menu, and each dish was absolutely divine. I absolutely savored every single bite, and wish I was a local so that I could go back more frequently! read more

Rude service. I would like to tell you the food was redeeming, but I can't because we were never seated despite having a reservation and confirming it. Worst part of our trip by far. Highly recommend you go elsewhere. Frenchie needs to learn some manners. read more

This restaurant is nearly impossible to find (the street isn't on a map) and even harder to get a reservation (they notoriously do not answer their phone), but SO WORTH attempting to get to. We wandered in towrd the end of the lunch hours after spending about 2 hours trying to find it. They were booked but as we looked so sad and hungry, they discussed it and decided to let us have the table meant for a reservation who was late. It is very small (1 chef, 1 waitress, 1 bartender). The food was AMAZING. I could not stop exclaiming with glee - it's a good thing it's a loud eatery. I need to learn french simply to be able to make reservations for next time. LOVE this place. read more
