Good food, lovely decor, but guilty of my pet peeve, serving white wine in a too-large glass. The server insisted it was a standard pour, but it looked pitiful in the glass it came in. For $10, I need more wine or a smaller glass. Who cares if it's "standard," eating out is as much about perception as it is about taste. Otherwise, why are you charging $17 for a hamburger?

Great spot, perfect for a date esp. on a Thurs. night w/ live jazz. Merguez app and gnocchi w/ duck - both were great, but latter hit it out of the park. Date had lobster bisque and burger (bonus points for her), enjoyed both. Couple bottles of wine makes for a hefty bill, but it's worth it to enjoy a good red / good music. Great staff, offered solid advice, very attentive esp. given how crowded it was. Good spot for pre-930 Club drinks.

Cozy funky space, reminded me of the New Orleans of Anne Rice. Food was good to excellent, again more New Orleans then French (beignets, scallops, gnocchi, paella.) Staff tries hard, but the space is crammed so service was slow

Excellent food, very attentive service, and cozy (if slightly rococco) space. I had endive salad appetizer and scallops; bf had mergez ap and duck gnocchi. Everything was great, except the endive salad was a bit soggy, as if it had been dressed in advance. But on the whole it was well above the quality you get in most restaurants in the area. Quality-wise I'd put it in the same league as Cork or Firefly or Zaytinya.
