Profile

Lip-locked lovers and large, loud groups pack the lower level of this romantic shabby-chic chintz mecca famous for formidable French-style fare prepared in a semi-open kitchen and served in a room straight out of Country Living magazine. Need a throw pillow for your bad back? The quaint room's lousy with 'em. Service can be brusque (a tinkling cell phone might even get you shown the door by Danal’s bellicose proprietor), and long sidewalk waits are notorious. A brunch featuring a sublime croissant French toast filters over to the less-quaint upstairs space on weekends. — Andy Bailey

Went with freinds for brunch and had the wrong order not once but three times. Left 12% tip and was confronted by staff stating that we should pay full 20% as we ate really slow and took up space. Elected not to answer and was cursed at by the staff and then supported by the manager/owner. Disgusting!

Feels like home, tastes like heaven

Had a fantastic time, the decor and atmosphere offer a respite from the busy world outside and the food makes you never want to leave. We had an artichoke salad for starters and for mains we indulged ourserlves to a great fish and seafood brochette, and a fantastic steak with pepper sauce. it is a gem that you rarely come across outside france. definitely worth a visit. plus... it's not everyday that you get to eat next to david bowie!
