Great little touches, such as servers wearing darling white tops, place settings with vintage-like dishes, copper pots and sauce pans hanging along the kitchen wall. It manages to be both bustling and calming, charming and elevated. We only tried the cold salads, the carrot and the beet. Both were delicious. Drink menu has N/A options. The brioche with butter is divine. Also, they were very accommodating about our tight timing (many people were also theater goers), which was appreciated!

Celebrated our 14 year anniversary here! The food was delicious but the two hour + dinner was…read moreridiculous. The service was good and our server was really friendly and personable but beyond disappointed in the ticket time of the kitchen to table. You order all at once and they space it out. It was just off the entire meal. We were at the Tableau course and immediately the Salades course was brought out and sat in the table before we even had a bite. Then nothing for such a long time. I think they forgot about us as the table next to us ordered their courses and got their food and were out the door before our Plats course was on the table. Additionally, I saw candles for bdays at other tables, but nothing special for our anniversary when our desserts were delivered. I feel like they also missed the mark here. We drive in about 2 hours specifically to dine here. Our visit time here about 2 years ago was amazing but this overall experience fell short of expectations. Ok back to the yummy food. We enjoyed the following... Bread: Pain Maison- fresh milk brioche, seasonal butter ($11) Tableau course: Oeufs Chimay - duxelles filled egg, garlic cream, comté, breadcrumb ($11) Salades course: Parisian Carrot - toasted hazelnut, parsley, cider vinaigrette ($12) Roasted Beets - crème fraiche, goat cheese, citrus, pistachio, horseradish ($15) Plats course: Raviole du Dauphiné - comté, ricotta, brown butter ($25) Icelandic Cod - toasted brioche, caviar beurre blanc, wilted spinach ($36) Dessert: Choux au Craquelin - profiteroles, vanilla ice cream, cocoa ($10) Mousse au Chocolat - meringue, feuilleté crunch ($11) It really is good food and a cute atmosphere. Something to try if you have not been or like French food, but after this experience I doubt I will be back with so many places to eat when you are from out of town.

They allowed us to bring our own cake. They brought it out on a cake stand for pictures and then took it in the back to cut and serve it to us. They also had a card on the table for my parents. It was a wonderful celebration. Dishes that we tried tonight that were new to us: Mushroom Bisque - 8/10 Bread and Butter - 7/10 Burger - 6/10 Scallops - 7/10 Cannelloni - 8/10 Coffee - 5/10 Our favorites remain the fries with the delicious sauce 10/10 and the vodka rigatoni 10/10. Best smelling bathrooms in the city. Love the house wine, the bar, the patio, and the service!

The first time we went they gave flowers to all the women for Mother's Day. This time though they're weren't flowers, they were very accommodating. My grandmother had an issue with her food, they remade the entire meal though it did take a while they gave her a treat for the long wait. The server and manager were very friendly and apologetic for the inconvenience. The food is 7-8/10. It always comes out fresh and plated nicely. I ordered their chicken sandwich and that was good! My family shared a lot of our entrees, I feel their poultry and seafood are their best. The pork chop though tender, wasn't incredibly tasty. I have not tried a beef dish. The dessert was delicious! The manager recommended eating the pan a cotta and pan de crème together and that was soooo good! It was a nice, light dessert but very tasty! I would definitely recommend trying it

Everybody, each member of the staff was fantastic. The pomme soufflés are out of this world. They are such a treat. We always love their Hamachi, specially, when they have it with the grapefruit and slivers of jalapeños. Right now they have a truffle Hamachi, which was really fabulous as well. Their foie gras torchon is also exceptional. We cannot wait for them to bring back the cod in buerre Blanc sauce. But last night we opted for the hamburger, which is quite the treat there. If you are a bourbon drinker, you should try their buffalo trace single barrel right now. My husband thought it was more delicious than most other buffalo trace, more of a cherry and vanilla hint. Anyway, we had a perfect night.

The location and venue are super cool, beautifully decorated and super interesting. The service is also impeccable, our server Lindsey was very knowledgeable and the rest of the staff seemed to care for patrons to ensure they had a great experience. However, our final bill came to over 900$ and none of us were impressed by the food. I understand fine dining is not going to be large portions, but 1 small scallop and 1 Brussels sprout for 32$ is insane. The rest of the dishes were fine, but in the same way they were very small for insane prices. The pommes soufflés are just French fries. There are so many better places in the city that you're not going to spend this kind of money and get such disappointing food.

This was a hard one. I wanted to love this- a unique cafe by the theatre for our out of town visit…read more It's a cute spot, but tiny. 3 small four-top tables and a few counter stools. Counter service. But the first couple of things we tried to order, we were told that they were out of those items. One of them being a type of coffee. It seemed that one adult was possibly running the full establishment alone. We ordered quickly and there was a table open which seemed like a good sign. My husbands food came out after about 20 minutes, but mine was not served nor was his drip coffee or my bottle of water. My food came out another 15-20 later and had to ask for our drinks. I asked my husband how his food was. It was served with mayo (ordered without) and he said it was cold. His coffee was also cold (not supposed to be). My crepe was decent, but not worth the 40min wait. People behind us were having the same issues. Food was served one dish at a time, across all tables so no one was eating together with their parties. I would love to recommend a small local business. My hope is that someone else called in sick and this girl was just doing her best (she really was). But if this is the norm, I cannot suggest this stop.

I can report that once again the food, wine, and service were all superior! I went with classics: the onion soup (savory and good to the last drop); the duck duo (the most well prepared duck I've eaten in a long time - delicious and memorable); and the pot de creme (this speaks for itself frankly haha - it was dark and decadent and a very nice finish to a fantastic meal). Service from Michael was top notch (great work Michael!), and the atmosphere was cozy but not confining, not too noisy for cross-table conversation, and of course clean and attractive. I say, Le Bar a Bouef gave us a wonderful evening.

Food: 5/5 Dishes are explained as slightly larger plates than tapas style. My favorites: Wood Grilled Octopus, Crispy Falafel, Bouillabaisse. Love the Moroccan Mint Tea as well! Service: 4.7/5 Very friendly! They course out your plates for you which I always love. They were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet (I.e., meats on the side to give to others at the table). On a less busy night, they offered a free toast for my birthday. I've been for other celebratory dinners here on busier nights where that hasn't happened, so it was a lovely surprise! Ambiance: 4/5 A little busy and can get loud on the weekends with table chatter, cutlery clinks, and the brick walls echoing noise around. Tables are also close together, so you can definitely hear the conversation next to you. The decor is pleasant and the lighting is soft and romantic enough that it is still a perfect date night spot! There are also a couple larger crescent booths for larger parties.
