    Oyster Rockefeller pasta, and a salmon dish with potatoes.

    This is my first time going to a French cafe and let me tell you the food is worth the wait, and affordable as well. I came in around 7:00pm and saw that it was booked, while I was waiting the owner handed me a piece of paper asking me to watch the video which I did, and for a restaurant that has lasted for more then 44 years, either the lord blessed them or their food has to be out of the world. I was then seated by the owner as I peaked in the kitchen theirs only one person in there it's his wife, the way she cooked while I was waiting was just so elegant and lovely, it felt like she didn't have any worried and just cooked with every dish with love and her heart out. For appetizer I had the Chicken liver Pate, now normally in the Vietnamese culture it's usually served as pork and with baguettes, this chicken pate tasted so fresh and clean and just smooth, I was just tempting to pay just for the recipe for it. Next came a light French onion soup no bread, no cheese, just onions and broth and it tasted like whoever put cheese and bread basically hides or "enhances the flavor of the soup." This soup was so, good I cleaned the bowl out, lastly came out my entree a oyster Rockefeller pasta dish which is ravioli covered in oysters in a Rockefeller sauce, im a big fan of oysters and knowing it is sacrilegious I got pasta and at a French restaurant, let me tell you something when a French can cook a ravioli dish better then an Italian, theirs a reason why they been opened for almost 44 years, even if it's just two people the hospitality and atmosphere is just so smooth even seeing people going here on dates made me smile, I will be coming back until the two owners have a happy retirement

    Salmon in tarragon cream sauce and steak with garlic-parsley pesto

    I knew as soon as I walked in that I would love this quirky little place. The decor is bohemian, the owners - a French couple - sweet and friendly. We had a great dinner - started out with the cheese appetizer, a simple and delicious pastry filled with gooey, messy cheese. My partner had the steak entree, I tried the salmon with creamy tarragon sauce - it was fantastic. We got two sides to share - sliced fried potatoes and sautéed asparagus. For dessert, the lemon pudding cake was a bit of a disappointment - I'd definitely try something else next time. I love the fact that they make up the menu daily based on fresh ingredients. We will definitely be back here next time we come to Bloomington!

    Side of potatoes

    This was a really great food experience. I'm half-French, from Provence, so I immediately was excited to try out this typical Provençal restaurant while in town for college visits. All of the food is homemade, and you can tell Marina (the owner) prepared it all with love. Her menu is created daily, which shows she's cooking using fresh ingredients that inspire her dishes. My stepdad and I enjoyed the cheese pastries, potato and carrot soup, chicken with mushroom sauce, salmon with a gribiche sauce, and sides of potatoes and broccoli with a bechamel sauce and parmesan. For desert, we had a mixed berry Clafoutis and a ricotta based italian chocolate cake. I highly recommend trying this little spot out! I will definitely be returning next time I'm in town.

    Dessert for brunch !

    Nice place. First time going there. Had brunch on Sunday. $12 meal that was pretty darn good. The quiche was a tad dry but the Brie in croissant totally made up for it. Meats were well cooked and seasoned. Salad was standard American fare. (Meh) Good coffee. Would recommend and go again. Will update review with second experience at some point. Until then, yay.

    Restaurant view- nice & cozy

    This restaurant was fantastic. The prices were excellent for the quality and quantity of food. We were greeted very warmly by the owners and the server- everyone was very friendly. We ordered a bottle of wine, two appetizers, entrees and desserts. All of us were equally satisfied with what we ordered. The pâté was delicious (coming from someone who isn't a huge fan), the cheese pastries were one of the best appetizers I've ever had! (And I'm not being dramatic.) steaks were cooked perfectly and the ribs were super tender. To top it all off we had amazing desserts with what I assume was homemade whipped cream- amazing. Definitely coming back when we visit Bloomington again!

We stayed in the Doc Story House, which is a 2 floor, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, and hot tub replete with uneven floors and stain glass windows leading up the stairs to the second story. I can't say enough good things about this place. It is a unique throwback in time and holy recommend every part of it.

That's the perfect description for this gem. The wait staff are excellent and the bar does not disappoint! Happy hour runs 3-6pm and I stopped in for a drink and a bite.

I was torn on what to choose, but ended up with the shrimp étouffée and so glad I did! The sauce was divine and the apple chutney added a surprisingly wonderful addition. Dessert? Of course! Banana pudding for the hubs and I had the apple cider whoopie pie. This thing was giant! I tasted the banana pudding and it was good.

The service was absolutely top-notch -- our water glasses were never empty, and our servers were happy to discuss the menu at length, answering all of our questions. Our servers were friendly and sociable, making the meal even cozier. They had a huge wine list -- alas, I can no longer drink wine; they had a small but elegant specialty cocktail list, and, to my delight, they had a list of delicious non-alcoholic "mocktails" (which one could choose to add spirits to, if desired). I had the "Primrose", with guava juice, lime, sparkling water and rose water -- it was superb! Refreshing, light, slightly tart... exactly what I wanted. They feature a different soup every night -- always vegan. (I'm trying to switch to a plant-based diet.) The soup was a punch in the tastebuds: jerk-spiced apple and pear bisque. It tasted roasty, spicy (but not too spicy), sweet and tart... like the end of winter, and the beginning of spring. I'm now going to spend countless hours in my kitchen trying to recreate it. My entree was a curried cauliflower steak, with tiny potatoes, delicious crispy pickled chickpeas, and a delicate saffron rice that I could *really* taste the saffron in. Nutty, richly savory, and deeply satisfying, I did not envy His Goatness's pork belly, nor my dad-in-law's shrimp etouffee. I did have a bite of His Goatness's peanut parfait, which, while vegan, tasted like a Reese peanut butter cup (but perfectly sweetened, instead of over-sweet). The merengue on the top was delicately toasted with a torch. I also had some of dad's sorbet, which was amazing -- like fresh fruit! Last night's sorbet was kiwi and guava, which is making my mouth water just thinking about it. I left stuffed, but feeling good, and truly satisfied. I'll come back for special occasions!
