A hidden gem!. A great family owned and run restaurant. The food is authentic and outstanding. We had the steak au poivre and beef bourgonion simply fabulous. Their French onion soup is the best! Service is excellent and not rushed.

I’v tried all the French restaurants in Sarasota, this is by far the most authentic. The menu has a handful of items, each dish is equally delicious. I enjoyed the escargot, a steak au poivre, and lamb chops.

Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Sarasota! Everything is consistently delicious and made with such care and attention to detail. My filet is cooked to perfection every time and the French onion soup is the BEST I’ve ever had. Small and intimate restaurant run and operated by the owners everyday they’re open. They’ve created an atmosphere that feels like they are welcoming you into their home.

Solid dining experience. Escargot was fantastic. Snapper had a sweet sauce which wasnt great, chicken was solid. Could have refilled drinks without us asking each time with empty glasses. Would likely return if another couple wanted to try. Cute French bistro decor with only 32 seats

It was one of those spontaneous moments. We just moved to a near by neighborhood. We got hungry and wanted a local restaurant. This one was highly rated. So we made a hard right turn on Siesta drive. It was raining hard and parking was right in front of the restaurant. When we walked in there was only one table open.. btw the restaurant is tiny just a few tables, but it was packed.

Our new favorite dinner spot in Sarasota. Best onion soup we’ve had in quite some time. Beef dishes were excellent! Prices were very reasonable.

AMAZING! FROM START TO FINISH. I WAS STARTED WITH SALAD AND FRENCH BREAD WHICH SMELLED GREAT AND TASTE EVEN BETTER. I HAD TO TAKE SOME HOME FOR LATER. HAD THE LAMB FOR MAIN COURSE WELL DONE. CAME WITH STRING BEANS AND CARROT WITH A sliced POTATOE TOP WITH CHEESE. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. YOU HAVE TO HAVE RESERVATION DUE TO LIMITED SEATING. BUT IT IS WORTH IT! FOR DESSERT I HAD THE CHOCOLATE MOUSE. VERY NICE PRESENTATION AND ALSO DELICIOUS.ALSO, THE TABLES ARE SANITIZED AFTER EVERY GUESTS. AUTHENTIC FRENCH FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PRACTICE THEIR FRENCH FROM NOT SPEAKING IT FOR A LONG TIME.

It’s really French food the way you expect it. The Bourdeaux wine was exquisite.
