They have a really large bar area by the front, which is a good place to wait before you sit at your table. They also just expanded, so it is a pretty big restaurant, but it gets very crowded at night so you should make a reservation.
On the menu, they have French classics like Coq Au Vin and Bouillabaisse, in addition to small plates, a raw bar, steaks, and many other options. I ordered the chopped salad to start, which is tomatoes, romaine, cucumbers, onion, bell peppers, and avocado in a lemon dressing. For my main course, I got the Coq Au Vin, which I have had before and is one of my favorite chicken dishes. Their Filet Mignon Sliders are also really good, but I never order those I just tend to have a bite if someone else at the table gets them. My sister and dad's favorite item on the menu is the tuna tartare which comes with guacamole.
Even though the top photo doesn't do the chopped salad any justice, it is really good. It is not like a typical salad, since there is no lettuce, so it is basically just chopped up vegetables in a lemon dressing. My favorite part was the avocado (which is really the only reason I order it) so once I finish all the avocado I generally stop eating the salad. It is a very big bowl so after a while it gets a bit boring.
For the main course, the Coq Au Vin was delicious. It comes with a half chicken sitting in a pool of red wine sauce with some vegetables and a side of mashed potatoes. The chicken itself was cooked perfectly and was really tender. The red wine sauce pairs perfectly with the chicken and since there is a big pool of it on the bottom of the bowl, there is more than enough to coat the chicken with. While the mashed potatoes were good, there was nothing too special about them in my opinion. My sister got the bouillabaisse and really enjoyed it, and some other items ordered at the table were branzino, fried calamari, filet mignon, and steak tartare. Overall, everyone really enjoyed their dishes here.
The only thing that was lacking a bit was the service. Our waiter was very inattentive and seemed irritated and annoyed with us from the get go. Since I have been here before, I know that some of the other waiters are better, but there have been multiple visits where the service is not on par with the food. The Coq Au Vin here is delicious and I find myself constantly craving it, so they just need to work on their service and they would be a top restaurant in my book.
