We had the steak frites combo & the steak frites didn't disappoint, it came with soup & tea but the real treat was the dessert. We had a nice server. Would recommend.

On y mange bien, mais les chiens ne sont pas autorisés sur la terrasse.

Their Beef A La Carte is the most ordered item in the restaurant. But the chef's salmon is also very delicious. Definitely recommend this place, reservations are recommended.

We ordered salmon & restaurant specialty dish & asked for medium rare but got medium to almost well done. Salmon was decent.

Steak was very chewy & the sauce was ok nothing spectacular as mentioned from reviews.

Salad was disappointing - simply a few leaves + some dressing is drizzled on (the salad). Soup & dessert were okay.

Very surprised that their specialty dish received good reviews.

The exterior is very cute. The food was very traditional - we got the foie gras & it was very simple. A true duck liver with no added flair. Great if you want a more traditional eating experience.

Yesterday, I went to dine at this restaurant. I'll begin with the best which would be the profiterole ice cream. Absolutely delicious & would recommend to come for the dessert. On the other hand, I was not content about the restaurant service. While the food is a fair price, I had an issue with the hostess. I came with a group of tourists & she became overwhelmed with seating & organizing the guests. Likewise, service was lacklustre because I felt the wait time between the dishes was quite large. In addition, I ordered the steak & chicken. My dish felt warm & the chicken was quite dry even with the sauce. I was disappointed because my food was not warm enough. While the steak frites had a very dry steak, the fries were poorly cut & tasted like pre cooked leftovers. While a waitress did hear my feedback I mentioned the waiters & waitresses were very busy so I did not request for new plates. No one came to ask us or check on us where I believed the restaurant does not care about customer feedback nor quality assurance.

I also wanted to try to write this in French if the staff had trouble understanding.
French Translation:

Hier, j'ai mangé au restaurant. Je crois que le meilleur plat est le dessert. Les profiteroles glacées étaient délicieuses. Je recommande vivement que les clients commandent les profiteroles pour déguster, & le menu à prix fixe. En revanche, je n'étais pas contente du service au restaurant. Avant de manger, l'hôtesse avait organisé des places assises, après elle était submergée. De même, le service était médiocre à cause de longs temps d'attente entre chaque plat. En plus, j'ai commandé du poulet & du steak. Mon plat de poulet était trop sec, même si je l'ai mange avec de la sauce au vin. Également, j'ai trouvé que la viande n'était pas assez chaude. Le steak était sec & les frites étaient coupées irrégulièrement & goûtaient comme des restes précuits. Pendant que je mangeais le repas, une serveuse m'a demandé des commentaires.Je lui en ai dit que les serveurs étaient très occupés, alors je n'ai pas demandé de nouveaux plats. Ne personne surveillait le dîner & ne faisait pas attention aux clients. J'ai cru que le restaurant ne fait pas attention aux commentaires des clients ni à l'assurance qualité.
