I’ve been excited to try this place for a while. I was a big fan of Sway’s ambiance so really wanted to see this remodeled into a French Bistro. Glad to say, I was very impressed by the remodel, particularly where they placed their bar, long butcher block counter top (my favorite). Super cute inside. The drinks were divine and the glassware was absolutely beautiful.

A charming French spot in Austin. We had a really nice first experience. The staff are very attentive and personable, special thanks to Nicole who took great care of us. The ambience is dark and intimate, and is beautifully decorated. My recommendations are:

The atmosphere was Austin vibes. Went on a Monday night during happy hour and half priced steak frites. Space is small and quaint. The waiter gave good recommendations and someone was always around to clear the table or refill your glass. Items we ordered

Really good food, ambiance and service. Both plates that we ordered were well served and depending on your hunger level it can be easily shared (I wanted to try the French Toast and was full! ). The passion fruit mocktail is really good for those that want a non-alcoholic option. Highly recommend this place!

Not so French. Cheese board was more Italian/American, nothing French to it. The dishes were decent despite the over cooked fries. Chocolate mousse was more like an instant pudding. Too bad, the decor is very cute and the service id alright. Great cocktails.

Great fancy casual place with an inviting tone and elevated food. Their balance is good: the duck goes with the parsnips and the moules frites goes with the red curry butter and the Brussels sprouts salad has the right size for the hazelnuts on top. The blue cheese beignets were weird but that’s fine.

One of my favorite spots with a great happy hour menu, fabulous ambiance, and delicious food and cocktails. Where else can you find bone marrow on a HH menu? Or a cucumber gimlet? Charcuterie board is excellent with a rich selection of meats and cheeses, fruits, nuts, and liver mousse. The blue cheese beignets are a must. Patio is dreamy if Austin weather is behaving.

What a great Happy Hour…we tried so much but have to come back on Monday (steak frites special) and Wednesday (oyster special) and just for a normal dinner too. The Fench Onion soup and frites were alright, but the steak tartare was phenomenal, as was the salade verte, oysters, and every cocktail sampled. The deviled eggs were a little salty–but not because of the oefus caviar which we did enjoy–the blue cheese beignets were surprisingly good too. The atmospere outside was beautiful, and walking inside I really liked its vibe too. Our server was awesome and very patient. There is a descent selection of wines, too. We’ll be back–I suspect every month for a little while. 5 stars.

The food was delicious. The mussels, fries, oysters, duck, Mac and cheese were amazing. The escargot was fine but the service was great as well. I recommend the duck entree for sure.
